    Perhaps the same person coined that term that also coined the phrase "gun buyback". I'm still trying to figure out how the government can buyback guns that it never owned to begin with.

    I think you expect too much. Back then everything was a clip, even when it wasn't. Everything was a registered sear gun, even if it was actually the bolt, receiver or other part that was registered. Hell even registered HK sears are actually "sear trip levers" and not the actual sear. They called NFA dealers Class III dealers when often they actually weren't. Pretty much everything related to NFA stuff is the wrong damn word.

    There are still people that state "you can own it, but you need to have a Class III license" when in reality it's nothing more than a Form 4 transfer, but I think sometimes gun owners are the most difficult to educate.

    Exactly, the same type of deal. Another is "assault weapons", oooooohhhhhh, scary. Complete misnomers, as is the term "re-weld".

    AUG, I don't know if I expect too much, but while "re-weld" is incorrect, it is harmless. The "assault weapon" term however, which is also incorrect, is harmful. It conjures up images that folks that are susceptible to propaganda or simply ignorant find offensive, and makes life harder for folks like us. Unfortunately, I hear the media created term regularly floated around by firearms enthusiasts which only lends to it's credibility.

    Unfortunately Bill Clinton and the ATF were able to codify completely bullshit terms like Assault Weapon and it's subclassifications even though Assault Rifle has a very specific meaning already.But they also call shoelaces "machine guns" under certain conditions.

    At first I was leery since it is a reweld. I understand the rewelds are the least desirable M16 lowers. I haven’t seen it but trust the dealer that has it. Are problems arising with rewelds, long term? What’s the chances of this receiver breaking? Can they even be legally repaired if need be? I would “think” it would be just fine, and the more I looked into this, the more I discovered rewelds are “common” for transferable machine guns. I hate to shell out more for a NIB colt since I will be shooting this regularly and it will not be a safe Queen. Thoughts?

    What’s a fair price on this in today’s market?

    Buy a used factory Colt rifle.
