Q. What has the Gun Legislation of 1994 done to change the AR15 rifle?
A. The Assault Rifle Ban has required removal of the bayonet lug, banned the threading of the muzzle for flash hider attachment, and banned the installation of the telescoping stock on Post-ban lowers. The rest of the rifle is unchanged, and target shooters will notice some accuracy gains from the crowned post-ban muzzles. Also, magazine capacity has been limited to 10 rounds, although there are still 20; 30; and 40 round "grandfathered" magazines out there for sale.
