you can't build a preban configured gun from a preban stripped lower
there are no preban lower parts, except for the collapsable stock
if you own a preban rifle you could attach another upper with a bayonet lug & FS

CRIME BILL NOTICE
On 9/14/94 we were advised by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco &
Firearms that the Crime Bill does not allow any lower receiver to
be completed into an "assault rifle" as it is defined in the Bill. It
does not matter when the lower receiver was manufactured, only
when it was assembled as part of a complete rifle. In other words,
you cannot buy a so-called "pre-ban lower" and assemble it into a
rifle that meets the definition of an "assault rifle" as described in
the Crime Bill.
After September 14, 1994, no lower receiver can be completed to
form a "semi-automatic" rifle that has an ability to accept a
detachable magazine and has two or more of the following
features:
A.a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously
beneath the action of the weapon
B.a flash suppressor or threaded barrel
designed to accommodate a flash
suppressor (a recoil reducing device is
considered acceptable)
C.a folding or telescoping stock
D.a bayonet mount
E.a grenade launcher
What this means is that you may have a post ban ("post ban"
meaning assembled after 9/14/94) AR-15 rifle which has only one
of the listed features, and that is the pistol grip. It was previously
believed by most people in the industry that "thumb-hole"
configuration stocks were a way to technically eliminate the "pistol
grip" feature on a rifle. However, BATF has now interpreted the
Crime Bill in such a way that it isn't possible to construct an AR-15
type rifle without a pistol grip regardless of the stock
configuration. Because there is no way to eliminate the pistol grip
feature, you may not have a flash suppressor or a muzzle that is
"threaded to accept a currently manufactured flash suppressor." A
compensator or recoil reducing device is acceptable as long as it
is attached permanently by pinning, welding or high temperature
silver solder or attached with a thread pattern for which there is no
flash suppressor made.
