Believe your confusing the 2 devices, the AW ban restricts the use of flash-hiders (for diffusion of exhaust gases and to deny location recognition by the enemy, read that as reducing muzzle flash) but allows the use of muzzle-brakes (for recoil reduction) provided they are permanently installed on post-ban rifles.
There is no restriction other than barrel length where these devices are concerned as they relate to pre-ban rifles. Mike |

Dukota,
The reason is that the AW ban was INTENDED to prevent the sales and manufacture of military-style guns entirely. They did this by (poorly) naming specific guns by name, and also by banning other "military-style" guns based on them having "military features." They did NOT anticipate that the manufacturers would simply delete the "military features" and continue to manufacture the guns themselves. It wasn't about banning the features; it was about banning the entire GUN. -Troy |
