It had a sunset clause after 10 years. In a nutshell, it expired.
But don't you worry, there will be another AWB during Unpresident Joseph Robinovich Xiden's first term as Unpresident, except this time ... it will be permanent!!! |

The 94 ban was a 10 year ban on new manufacturing of deadly assault weapons and high capacity magazines. There were parts available for pre and post. Pre ban mags commanded a premium and so did pre 94 made weapons.

It banned certain features such as flash suppressors, bayonet lugs, pistol grips, and magazines over 10 round capacity for new manufacture. Otherwise, it was drive on as before, so you saw minor modifications and sales continued.
One of the interesting consequences is that it also coincided with the military drawdown, so makers of 30 round mags went out of business because they were making it on civilian sales, other parts makers for the military also had no sales. Thus when global war on terror cranks up, the .mil can't get mags and certain parts for weapons. |

Ar's, AK's and parts were plenty available, just in post ban configuration. Pre ban stuff was available too at a premium. Pre ban AK and AR mags were available at a reasonable price, but high cap handgun mags were high (100.00 Glock mags). A lot of stress over building AR's with pre ban parts based on the manufacture date of the receiver. People were steering away from new 9mm handguns b/c of the 10 round mags so 45 and I think even 10 mm became more popular. Overall, it was just a pain in the ass.

The plus side-
Ammo and AK's were VERY cheap, and you could find plenty of pre-ban AK 30 round mags. LOTS of good surplus Mosin Nagants, SKS, and commie handguns cheap. The bad- Mags for most guns was ridiculous. The following ads sum up the times-     |

Imagine Butler Creek 25rd 1022 mags going for $125. And Glock standard cap mags going for $80 and up. And the only somewhat affordable mags for various guns were USA brand aftermarket mags that were a hit or miss in reliability.
It's the reason anybody who went through it owns a gazillion magazines. But ironically AK mags I remember were cheaper then today. |

For AR's, it basically came down to this - no flash hider/muzzle device.
Colt and all the rest cranked out a huge number of AR's just with a target crown/naked barrel. AK's came with butthole stocks, and there was a cottage industry relating to dumping the stock, swapping out some foreign parts and installing US parts to get around the ban. Short term panic on primers which ended pretty quickly. High cap mags for handguns was an issue. Glock hi-cap mags were expensive. Other brands, not really as much. The game as the ban approached was to buy a bunch of mags, even if you did not own the weapon, so then if you bought the weapon in the future, you could dump the 10 round mag and use pre-ban hi cap mags. I think I still have 6 or 8 Beretta 92FS mags, but I still have never bought a B 92FS. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The next ban will be nothing like the 94 ban. You and I and everyone else here knows this, but I'll repeat it anyway. After the next AWB in enacted into law, you can still own one of the guns on the banned list, if it is registered with ATF and FBI, complete with your fingerprints, photo ID, address, phone#, serial numbers of all guns and magazines on the banned list.... Or, you can just give /sell them to the government to avoid prosecution and become a convicted felon.

They have learned from their "mistakes" and will make it permanent, all parts, registration/confiscation, etc. It's a waste of time to worry about the old one or the new one. If you want to know what to buy now... Buy it all. Mags have not quadrupled in price yet, they are still very affordable. But they will. Most people worry about lowers, but this is a holdover from the last one, and also outdated by the invention of the 3d printer. Buy what you need, but I personally don't see a reason to fill your garage with lowers. Get parts kits, barrels, etc. Those are harder to print. |

Had about a two week notice when it was signed.
Out of that time I was able to order and receive 2 standard G17 mags 17 rounds each. for under 20 bux each. After that they were as mentioned 100 + I still have one of those mags NIW . Some mags did come down in price in the end but for 6 to 8 year Ar AK or any standard mag you needed was expensive but plentiful. The threaded barrel thing about killed the silencer market. Pretty sure the 3 lug was born out of that. Ammo and surplus reloading components were @ record lows due to Klinton closing mil bases. Something like 8 billion rounds were tore down and sold to the public as components around 1996-98 Guns were pretty cheap. as mentioned it was guns with evil features that cost a penny or two. Accessories Like mags, collapsible stocks, and threaded barrels were at the 4x to 6x price of 10 round mags fixed stocks and button end naked barrels. Then there was the factory called USA magazines that popped up out of nowhere and flooded the market with cheap stamped metal mags for about any gun out there. they were on average about 19 bux each but most didn't work or if used in a poly frame gun like H&K or Glock had a habit of shearing the mag catch. Just like the ban they disappeared over night. OH and lets not forget that Gov raids on the average public were @ a all time high with citizens being killed and a few citizens killing Gov employees back. the 90's were really a fooked up time for gun owners. One other important thing 90% of the poloticians that voted for the OMNIBUS crime bill were voted out of office in the next election. The politicians will really start to shine with AWB 2.0 Sadly the 1994 OMNIBUS crime bill was never really about guns. But that's for a different post/thread. |

As has been stated, the worst part of the ban was the magazine restriction (and cost of "pre-ban" magazines).
As far as rifles were concerned, for the most part it meant no collapsible stock, no flash suppressor, and no bayo lug. My ban era gun looked like this Bushmaster:  ETA: Except slightly purple with a canted front sight, both of which were popular at the time.

The lower you bought before the ban.
If unassembled, could only be assembled as a post ban gun. Those lowers were sold at a premium price to east coast ban states... After 2004, that was they only way those citizens could have a preban. |
