If it indeed does sunset I would put collapsable stocks on my rifles and take dated pics. I really don't have a use for a bayo lug and don't really mind not having a flash suppressor but I would really like to be able to use the stock.
I could put one on now and probably not get a sideways glance but I'll walk the straight and narrow just in case. |

It will sunset, just wait, with the amount of trouble we will put on our representitives they wont have a choice. Remember the original ban passed with only 1 vote because noone thought it would actually happen.

All those who paid premium $ for "preban" ARs will be very unhappy when their old hardware is worth no more than a current production rifle. They may be worth less if anything! As for paying double for a flash suppressor or bayo lug, I just don't get it. My Colt MT 20" Hbar or M4 carbine shoots and works the same or better than any made pre-94....

When the AWB sunsets I would assume that most manufacturers will start putting flash hiders and bayo lugs back on the rifles because that is what people want. You will also be able to buy new rifles with factory collapsable stocks that come packaged with 30rd magazines for the same price as todays butchered rifles and 10rd mags.
Many people will lose a lot of money on rifles they paid a huge sum for and many of them will be pissed off. [b]And the most important thing of all!!! We won't have any more of those stupid threads debating whether a stripped lower is preban or not!!![/b] September 14, 2004 will be a great day for ar15.com! |

Nothing. No way in HELL that ban is allowed to sunset. If we end up with satus quo, we'll be lucky.

It will get replaced by a new and improved "assault weapon ban" that includes a "no grandfathered weapons" clause.
I can hardly wait! |

What ticks me off the most about the AWB is the 10-round mag capacity limit. Not so much the AR, but prices on full-cap mags for my Glock 19 are ridiculous (anywhere from $115-130 apiece at the gunshow this weekend). I have two, want to get two more. If I do, I'll have almost as much money in four magazines as the pistol.
As for what I'd do with my post-ban AR, probably just get a flash suppressor. Collapsible stocks don't do anything for me, and a bayonet lug seems a bit pointless. Not that I shouldn't have the *option* of having a bayo lug... |

Quoted: Nothing. No way in HELL that ban is allowed to sunset. If we end up with satus quo, we'll be lucky. Read the bill. It clearly states that the bill will terminate in 10 years from ratification. What we all need to worry about is the trash they will try to pass after it sunsets. Now is the time to work on getting as many politicians in office that are on our side. [beer] |

If the federal AWB sunsets, it may or may not change anything for you. It depends upon the state you live in. The liberals have been in a panic the last couple years to pass clones of the federal AWB in state law. The state laws do not sunset. As the libs are pushing these clones in the states, they describe them as "just copies of existing federal law". Somehow they forget to inform the public about the non-sunset issue. We have a copy here in MA. It was passed along with a huge pile of PC gun owner control BS. It is commonly known as "The Civil Rights Reduction Act of 1998".

I heard that! G19 is what I got as my cherry weapon. I bought a Pro-Mag 15 and it sucks!
Got ripped off on it, too. That's why I'm haunting this board, doing as much research and shopping around as possible so I don't get burned on my first AR. AB |

Hopfully after the AWB sunsets we start to roll back the import ways of 98' and 89'! Once the AWB goes away, and I am confindent it will, we will be on the offensive for the first time. I think if we win in 04' then national ccw and repeal of 86' are possible.

I have no affiliation with this outfit and have never bought any mags from them but they offer G19 15 round mags for $60. Thought I'd pass it along. I bought my G19 mags off AuctionArms for $55 apiece. |

The AWB will sunset, and we'll get a Kali style ban that REALLY screws us. If you think about it at all they currently haven't banned jack shit for most of us. Big deal you can't get a flash suppressor, you can get something that looks just like one, and may actually be of bigger benefit to the shooter.
No, we've got it good right now, most people think "assault weapons" are banned, there is no public support for more regulations. When they publicize how the evil gun nuts want their assault weapons back to kill cops there will be. The Antis won't leave the loopholes open next time around when they get a new ban passed either... |

There will still be no new cool guns in the PRK. I doubt it will happen, but if it lapses for even 5 min I will get to slap a real telestock on Bushmaster. If it looks like it will happen, I'll try to get a new upper with bayo lug and birdcage.

I'm no lawyer,but I alwyas thought that Federal law is superior to any state law,anyone else heard of this? Staes right vs Federal Powers, umm they had this thing called the Civil War (or the War of Northern Aggression) over this issue. State rights 'technically' supercede Federal law, but the Feds use income tax proceeds to 'encourage' states to allow State powers to be usurped. "We can't make you give up your State's rights, but we will give you 100 million in highway funds if you agree that our powers are superior in some cases." TheRedGoat BTW, when the ban does sunset, don't you think the limited number of 'postban' guns will increase in collector value? Afterall, supply vs. demand would mean the pool of '1994-2004 Postbans' becomes more and more limited, and even might be considered more valuable in 50 years? Fer Instance, my run of the mill, Postban DR200 DOUBLED in price as soon as the import bans went into law. Can't get these anymore...price goes up! They quit making this configuration...price goes up! My state still won't allow 'evil features' but no manufacturer is making a 'banned' configuration...price goes up. |

I don't think there has EVER been a federal law that has been allowed to "sunset". They have ALL been perpetuated into a permanent law.
But, there's always a first. [b]Just goes to show that this years' Congressional elections are EXTREMELY important. Get every possible conservative you know to the polls this year.[/b] *** [b]Pass the word by email[/b] - give everyone on your mailing lists a monthly notice to vote for conservatives. *** [b]Don't wast any votes[/b] on "unelectable" (small third-party) candidates. Remember the Perot/Nader effect. Pick the MOST conservative, gun-friendly candidate of the two major parties. *** [b]Email your US Reps & Senators monthly[/b]. Briefly and tactfully state your strong desire that they allow the Assault Weapon Ban to sunset. Tell them you are one of their constituents, include at minimum your city and state (your name also lends credibility). Go to [b][url=http://www.house.gov/]US House of Representatives[/url][/b] to locate and email your Representative. Go to [b][url=http://www.senate.gov/]US Senate[/url][/b] to locate and email your Senators. |

In many of the PRK elections, there IS NO "pro-gun" choice among the 2 largest parties. You gotta love Kalifornistan. -Troy |

What will happen,
The value of my 80 or so NIW 30 rd mags will depreciate to about 200% of what I paid for them, instead of 1000% of what I paid for them. Ed P.S. I will also take a dated photo of my rifle formerly known as postban with a "preban" upper. |

So a (maybe) stupid question that's been crawling around in my mind:
Right now, it's legal to have Evil Features on a lower that was manufactured and built into a rifle before the 1994 ban, because those guns are grandfathered in. When the ban sunsets in 2004 (and assuming for the sake of argument that something more draconian doesn't replace it) it will become legal to manufacture new guns with Evil Features. But will lowers that were manufactured during the ban period be "grandfathered out" of the new non-ban rules? As in, will it still be illegal to build a rifle with too many Evil Features on a 1997 lower, since that lower was manufactured at a time when the ban applied to it? I mostly ask out of curiosity, because after the sunset, it'll once again be easy enough to buy a brand-new Evil Gun without having to wibble about dates. Is my post-ban Oly lower about to become a collector's item? -BP |

I think there would have to be new legislation saying what you could/couldn't do with post-ban rifles. Unless they did that, I can't see there being any different restrictions on modifying your post-ban Oly. Just my thought...I'm no lawyer. ETH??
