| I have the opportunity to buy a PWA lower. I live in Nazi NY so for me to have all the evil stuff it needs to be pre ban. The SN# is 257XX. The cutoff I think is 35000 or so. Anyone care to verify this? |

"Last Pre-ban lower is #35,222. All Post-ban receivers are given a year prefix." from http://www.mp5.net/info/preban.htm#PWA I'd probably doublecheck with another source |

Does it have a date stamped into the magwell on the other side?  |

Quoted:
Federal AWB law required that the AR lower be assembled into a weapon before the ban took effect. Does NY State law copy this? It shouldn't. CT and MA don't require this, regardless of what some seem to think. Also, anything PWA after 35,222 is not preban. |

Federal AWB law required that the AR lower be assembled into a weapon before the ban took effect. Does NY State law copy this? it does but it is on the government to prove that it wasn't assembled into a complete rifle before the ban went into effect which is pretty much impossible. |

Do you have the actual verbiage that says this in the statute? |

Ditto I have two bought from dealers, both in the 4x,xxx range, one in Jan 2000 and the other in Aug 2004 and no year prefix and nothing on the side. |

ETA: There is no law on the books in NY requiring the rifle to be complete before the ban. That was in Federal Law not NYS law. |
