I'm not sure if this can be answered or has yet, so I'll ask away.
In theory, can we own one pre 2013 lower and keep buying uppers for it and still be legal in their eyes? |

Just spoke to a trooper at the toll free #. Yes, you can change uppers but if the upper has banned features on it it has to go on a registered receiver.
You can register a receiver by itself, it does not need to be a complete firearm. Also, as long as the weapon is registered you can change whatever features on it as long as you stay with in OAL and barrel length. Collapsable\folding stocks, bayonet lugs, flash hiders are good to go. Also I was told that you will be able to register a receiver in multiple calibers with out having an upper for each caliber at the time of registration. |

Another question: Since muzzle brakes are now just as illegal as flash hiders, is it now illegal to posses a pre-2013 upper with a pinned muzzle brake? If the upper is not mounted to a lower can they still get you for possession of the banned part? Parts were never illegal. |

At least that's somewhat good news. We can now put whatever we want on our rifles. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to order a complete BCM upper. Sucks we can't get anymore lowers though.  Why can't you get anymore lowers? A stripped lower has absolutely zero evil features. If your ffl wont accept them for you find another ffl. |

So our post 94 compliant upper can now have evil features if it is registered and a post 94 lower? |

NO - it is "guns that were legal" pre-2013 ban. so either pre-94 with all the evil features or post 94 with the postban features

I know, because they argued with me. |

Look, I called the number and spoke to two different people and they told me that as long as you owned it prior to the new law going into effect and you register it you can change whatever features you want on it as an assault weapon is an assault weapon.

That being said....I also see it from the point of nwuboy. |
