A post ban weapon cannot have 2 of the listed "evil features" in the crime bill of 1994. Otherwise it is an evil assault weapon 
Since the AR15 has a pistol grip that protrudes from below the action, it can't have a collapsible stock, flashhider, or bayonet lug. So post ban AR15s for the most part have bare muzzles and no bayonet lug on the front sight housing, or a clooapsible stock. You will find post ban ARs that have muzzle brakes, such as the Smith Compensator, or the AK74 type break.
To qualify as a preban assault weapon the rifle must have had two or more evil features prior to 13 September 1994. A preban lower receiver with no documentation that it was ever built into an assault weapon configuration prior to the enactment of the ban would not be legal to assemble into a preban configuration.

- that's the difference between a pre- and post-ban AR in my neck of the woods.
