SR25 serial number question

[cohiba]

For III or any other SR25 experts, I have a question. I am thinking of purchasing another SR25. This one has a 20" barrel, an engraved lower and Vero Beach markings. The serial number is 23257. Is this a pre-ban or post-ban according to the former federal AWB? It matters to me as CT still has its own AWB. Thanks.:cool:

If this rifle is a 20' target it was produced without a flashider so it was never an "assault" rifle. The only true "pre-ban" rifles had to leave the factory with a threaded barrel . These rifles were produced as standard rifles with plastic A2style handguards and A2 style front sight and carry handle.The other version was a limited run of 100 SR-25Ks .There is a lot of confusion on this subject.

So is an SR25 sporter with a removable carry handle, flashhider, plastic hand guards, A2 stock w/ serial number 21637 a true preban?

Isn't any gun that was manufactured befor 9.13.94 a preban?

Thank you for the reply. I have the exact date of production and original sale. Understood that it was never an assault rifle but for CT purposes, if it was made after the 1994 date that CT Builder mentioned, it may only have 2 or fewer evil features. Being two of those are a pistol grip and detachable magazine, you cannot put a folding stock on it or more importantly for many of us, thread the muzzle for a suppressor. My K on the other hand can have them all.
