I'm not even done CONVERTING my post-ban to a no-ban yet!
I'm pleased to report, though, that it already does violate the feature count restrictions of the assault weapons ban of 1994! The plain muzzle now sports an A2 flash hider. The final change, the exchange of the neutered sight tower for one with a bayonet lug on it, will be done in a few days, after we finish digging out from the hurricane that's about to hit.
I had the upper at the shop where I did the flash hider installation, and had intended to keep it there until all the work was done (and I'm the gunsmith in this case...), but with the storm coming I just put it back together with the neutered sight tower and took it home. I might need it!
Worst case scenario: Looters. Warnings. Shots fired. I hope I don't get to fire it under THOSE circumstances, but you never can predict the future.
