I came across this mini-14 today (No, I'm not buying it ;) ) and it was a postban. It had a permanetly pinned folding stock, and a flash hider. Yes, you heard me right, it was a flash hider. If I have read the laws right, this is illegal. From what I understand, A flash hider is an absolute no-no on all postbans. They are only allowed on prebans as a replacement, and it has to be permanetly attached. This one's pinned on the same way as an sks muzzle break. Is this considered permanent? They told me I was wrong and you could put one on a postban only if the flash hider was made before the ban and not the gun.
Now for the question... Who is right?
Please let me know, and if you can, could someone post a link to the ATF site so I could show it to them in writing if I am right?
