Out of the game for a while...questions.

[1911geek]

So, I got married, had a kid, moved several times and now am back in the hunt for some AR stuff.

MY TIMING SUCKS!!!

Anyway, have a question which may lead to more questions.

I live in Virginia, we do NOT have an AWB anymore.

So if I get an AR, does the term pre-ban and having a lower with a serial # dated prior to the original AWB in 1994?? have anything to do with what type of accesories I can LEGALLY add to the lower.

Nothing will be registered, it's not manditory. But I will use the weapon in a home defense situation possibly so I need to pay attention to legality.

Obviously I've looked around here on the EE and "pre-ban" lowers are WAY more expensive than other lowers.

Please educate me.

I'm thinking as of right now, all you're seeing "pre-ban" are lowers being sold in ban states. Since you no longer have a ban on them, just buy a regular lower (if you can find one).

I wouldn't waste any time though with the goons in DC trying to put something together that doesn't make sense.

[wesessiah]

pre ban means they were produced before the introduction of the 94 awb and didn't carry the same reproach.

[markm]

Pre ban means nothing to you in your state.

Yes, it's a great time to be looking for an AR!!

For what?

[RedXd]

As far as timing is concerned as you may be aware pricing will take months to begin to "normalize". Maybe up to a year? If you have the funds now go ahead suck it up and buy. If prices go down you may loose a little. But deprecation value will not compare to your vehicle.

[Bulletdog]

Have you narrowed it down to which brands you are interested in?

For what?

Sorry that was a NIB Colt 6920. And tonite it was a Daniel Defense M4V2 upper for $1500.
