Hi all,
This question may be more for the Legal/Political forum. With all the gunsmiths that hang out here and deal with this sort of thing in their business, it seemed more appropriate.
I'm in the process of putting together an AR15. I am using a pre-ban lower and trying to decide what upper to use. All the places that I have contacted warned me that I had better be very sure that the lower is pre-ban if I decide use a pre-ban upper. Just for the record, what are the legal ramifications of using a post-ban lower with a pre-ban upper? I am sure that gunsmiths do this all the time under the heading of repairs. Since the rifle will only be mildly military looking, I don't want a bayonet lug, just a muzzle compensator. I maybe mentally thick, but I am having a hard time understanding the differences. Or is this just another stroke of brilliance from our government bureaucrats?
Thanks.
