Maybe? Mine is marked:
CAL 5.56 MM XM 15 E2 SER 07XXX on the LS of the mag well and: SENDRA CORP. BARRINGTON IL above the trigger, at the very top of the lower receiver, not the mag well. Your serial number is lower so maybe they moved the markings? I have no problems with it at all as far as mags and parts fitting and think it's a great receiver. Mine was purple when I bought it a few years ago. I sent it and an upper to DPMS for re-anodizing and they came out great. |

Quoted: Did you catch it in a mouse trap? Mine is marked on the bolt release side: CAL 5.56MM XM 15 E2 ser 086xx Above the trigger is marked: SENDRA CORP. BARRINGTON. IL. It is said that the post ban ones have a circle on the other side of the mag well. ..... If you need any help with it let me know. I think I am close to where you are and have plenty of spare parts. Did you make the shoot at FT. Gordon? Thanks for the update. Made the shoot at FGGA (made several 610m down-the pipe shots into a tank hatch using my L1A1 and USGI tracer 7.62x51). We had 9 FPs, and about 13 shooters. Had an 1898 maxim, a 1908 Maxim, 1913 Vickers, and several of the usual suspects. Shot a NICE Knight SR-25 that was incredibly accurate! And pumpkins got slaughtered before our malice! No circle on LS of the magwell. I'll do a complete teardown shortly and see what else is up. I wonder about the absence of the Sendra name. Weird. |

Quoted: It is said that the post ban ones have a circle on the other side of the mag well. Many post-bans do, and certainly, the presence of a circle guarentees that the gun is post-ban. But many post-bans are NOT marked, and remember that the burden of proving pre-ban status is on the gunowner, not the prosecution. Lack of the circle is NO guarentee of pre-ban status. -Troy |

I think the only way to know is to track the SN. Fed.gov published production numbers at ATF website IIRC. More to follow.

Sendra marked all of the lowers still in their possession with the circle after the ban, and, IIRC, most AR vendors didn't sell anything for at least a few days after it started until the legal issues were worked out.
But, remember that there were lots of unbuilt Sendra (and other) lowers floating around at distributers, in gun shop safes, and even in private hands. Even if the gun absolutely was built into a SAW before 9/13/94, you'd still have to have a way of PROVING it, unless you were the owner/possessor on 9/13/94, and could therefore testify as to the rifle's configuration on that date. Hopefully, this will be moot in 10 months. -Troy |

EMDII - Put down the FAL and back slowly away.[:D]
Glad to see you on the board. You realize that if you build yourself an AR, you'll have to be satisfied with putting holes in the targets, instead of blowing the targets off the stands with muzzle blast.[:D] |

But I've been a fan of the FAL/L1A1 since 1960, in the Congo. Had a platoon in the yark from the UK. I learned d/a of the L1A1, M1919A6, and BHP LONG before I ever saw an M16!
