Have a chance to get what is being called a "Pre-Ban" PWA lower.  Lower was made prior to 94..  Are pre 94 AR Lowers worth lots more money than what is now being sold as "No Ban" lowers?  What to give the guy fair money but not over pay for it..  Any advice....

Thanks in Advance..

I think it would only matter if you live a a state with it's own AWB.  Otherwise you can find no bans for about $110.

In Kansas, there is no premium for pre-94 lowers.  Depending on options, a bare bones  complete rifle with a PWA lower should start out at $500-600, depending on condition.  Bump price for options.  The lower by itself should be around $100 or so.  I bought new PWA receivers for $105.

Kansas has no ban. Unless you are an FFL and plan to sell in a state with a ban,  you stand to lose by paying more for a pre-94 lower than any other lower. It would be illegal for you to cross state lines to sell it in a state that has a permanent ban in place if you do not hold a federal firearms license. You could sell it to an individual in a "Ban" state, but you would have to go through an FFL.

I have a PWA & a Stag, I can't see any difference in the two other than I paid $30 more for the PWA.   Both are high quality forgings.

It has some value to the few states that still have state assault weapon bans, but unless you are looking to resell it, in your case I don't think it's worth anything extra to you.

Unless you are in NY or other ban states, the PWA is just another old lower.

Don't fall for the "It's preban and collectable" BS.
