I just put on layaway a nice little masterpiece arms MAC11/9 semi-auto pistol. The reason I purchased this weapon is mostly for plinking and as a cheap rip off peice to add to my collection. I am now toying with the idea of declaring it an AOW. I understand that AOWs are not considered assault weapons, so preban-postban rules and limitations do not apply as they are not classified as "assault weapons".
From my understanding the AOW is distinguished by having no stock, and also having a front pistol grip. If the receiver must be registered as AOW before being assembled, this is no problem... as old leinad recs start at $39.
Is a postban MAC11 (or 10) an acceptable platform for AOW submission?
Is their anywhere else I can read up on more information in regards to legality of AOWs?
I have chosen the mac-11 as an potential AOW over something like an AR15, as a stockless forgripped AR would be blashpemy in my eyes.
So what do you guys think?
