I am writing a paper on the AWB and need some info that I cannot seem to find. Does anyone have a list or table that list ALL the models and styles that the AWB banned. I remeber having that table of banned items when I was building my first AR but I can't seem to find that anywhere on my computer. If anyone has that I would greatlyappreciate it.

It wasn't brands that were banned, it was features. Colt & others simply dropped most features & they kept making a few of them.

CA, OTOH, HAS banned them according to models & brands, IIRC. Check their state DOJ web site for better info than I have/know.

Actually, there were brands and models banned by name and the feature checklist.

Title 18, Chapter 44, Section 921 of the United States Code states (stated):

The term ''semiautomatic assault weapon'' means -
(A) any of the firearms, or copies or duplicates of the firearms in any caliber, known as -
(i) Norinco, Mitchell, and Poly Technologies Avtomat Kalashnikovs (all models);
(ii) Action Arms Israeli Military Industries UZI and Galil;
(iii) Beretta Ar70 (SC-70);
(iv) Colt AR-15;
(v) Fabrique National FN/FAL, FN/LAR, and FNC;
(vi) SWD M-10, M-11, M-11/9, and M-12;
(vii) Steyr AUG;
(viii)INTRATEC TEC-9, TEC-DC9 and TEC-22; and
(ix) revolving cylinder shotguns, such as (or similar to) the Street Sweeper and Striker 12;
(B) a semiautomatic rifle that has an ability to accept a detachable magazine and has at least 2 of -
(i) a folding or telescoping stock;
(ii)a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon;
(iii)a bayonet mount;
(iv) a flash suppressor or threaded barrel designed to accommodate a flash suppressor; and
(v) a grenade launcher;
(C) a semiautomatic pistol that has an ability to accept a detachable magazine and has at least 2 of -
(i) an ammunition magazine that attaches to the pistol outside of the pistol grip;
(ii)a threaded barrel capable of accepting a barrel extender, flash suppressor, forward handgrip, or silencer;
(iii)a shroud that is attached to, or partially or completely encircles, the barrel and that permits the shooter to hold the firearm with the non-trigger hand without being burned;
(iv) a manufactured weight of 50 ounces or more when the pistol is unloaded; and
(v) a semiautomatic version of an automatic firearm; and
(D) a semiautomatic shotgun that has at least 2 of -
(i) a folding or telescoping stock;
(ii) a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon;
(iii)a fixed magazine capacity in excess of 5 rounds; and
(iv) an ability to accept a detachable magazine.

Quoted: It wasn't brands that were banned, it was features. Colt & others simply dropped most features & they kept making a few of them. CA, OTOH, HAS banned them according to models & brands, IIRC. Check their state DOJ web site for better info than I have/know.

Actually, the Federal Ban specificaly named several Specific Models, as well as banning any rifle that had more than 2 of a list of features. Here is the list of what was banned:

The term ''semiautomatic assault weapon'' means -
(A) any of the firearms, or copies or duplicates of the firearms in any caliber, known as -
(i) Norinco, Mitchell, and Poly Technologies Avtomat Kalashnikovs (all models);
(ii) Action Arms Israeli Military Industries UZI and Galil;
(iii) Beretta Ar70 (SC-70);
(iv) Colt AR-15;
(v) Fabrique National FN/FAL, FN/LAR, and FNC;
(vi) SWD M-10, M-11, M-11/9, and M-12;
(vii) Steyr AUG;
(viii)INTRATEC TEC-9, TEC-DC9 and TEC-22; and
(ix) revolving cylinder shotguns, such as (or similar to) the Street Sweeper and Striker 12;

Exactly what I was looking fo r guys!! THanks a bunch! I just couldn't remember the USC citation. More info is welcome!!

Worthy to note is that the AWB was also redundant.

Firearms like the FNs and the Steyr were banned from import 5 years prior to the AWB.
