You're darn right it's confusing. I want to build an SPR using a pre-ban receiver to allow me to use a collapsible stock. Can I purchase a preban lower receiver and then other parts as necessary without violating the AWB or other laws? My readings of the AWB has left me confused and reluctant to do anything other than purchase postban complete rifles.

If you have a pre-ban receiver, you don't have to worry about the "evil" features of the 94 awb. You can have collapsible stocks, bayonet lugs, flash suppressors, threaded barrels, and whatever else I can't think of. Those are all verboten on a post-ban receiver.

OK, this may sound stupid, but do you mean that I can buy a preban lower receiver (without buying the complete rifle) then add any upper receiver I want to it to construct a new rifle?

Quoted: OK, this may sound stupid, but do you mean that I can buy a preban lower receiver (without buying the complete rifle) then add any upper receiver I want to it to construct a new rifle? Go over to the Legal forum, under General. Not a stupid question at all, but not a simple one either. There is a huge amount of discussion on this point and you will want to read it if you're thinking about building a preban from a lower receiver. |

Quoted: what about mixing preban post ban accessories like mags and such? Preban mags are legal in postban guns in your state if they're also legal in preban guns in your state. With other accessories you'll need to be more specific. Suggest you also check out the legal forum. |

for a lower to be preban it would have had to leave the factory before the ban in its bells and whistles configuration.ATF says just a left the factory without being complete into a rifle lower is postban not pre no matter if serial#denotes preban

That is also a preban. |

You can put a preban upper on a post ban lower as long as the preban upper doesn't have any of the evil features. Isn't that correct.

The upper itself isn't considered pre-ban or post-ban, they are just configured for either pre/post-ban rifles. If the upper you are putting onto the post ban rifle has evil features then you have an illegal AW. If you take an upper that has the evil features and remove those features, you can then put it onto your post-ban rifle. |

Well yeah I did read that section but its cryptic at best. So If I were to come into posession of a postban beta c mag or pre ban beta c mag I could use it on a postban weapon or like one of those norinco or chinese drum mags?

If you came into possesion of a postban BetaC and were not an LEO you would be in violation of the AWB.
