In mounting an upper on a postban lower, what is one allowed to do?

Specifically, from what I've read, I understand one can have a muzzle brake but not a flash hider and that it has to be permanently attached (welded or pinned) and cannot have a bayonet lug.

Some things I've read seem to indicate it's OK to have a telescoping stock while a source or two indicate that's a no no.

The Federal "assault weapons ban" died on September 13, 2004.

BUT ........ I know that some municipalities in Ohio were trying to keep the post-ban requirements in effect.

Columbus was one of them.

So..... check local laws.

And not all local bans exactly mimicked the federal one. So check carefully.

Grumulkin,

If I understand it correctly it has to do with 2 federal laws that were attached to the clinton crime bill. They are 925 and 922 various sections, these are loosely known as the "compliance" laws, do a search on the web and you should find lots of info.
Essentially in the eyes of uncle sam when you mix and match parts you are building a gun, this has to be done in accordance to the compliance rules unless you have certain class of FFL.
Hope it helps.

I think the issue here is the presence or absence of a bayonette lug.

Bayonettes are of extreemly limited utility in combat and even less for a civilian shooter.

True, but in the eyes of a liberal who knows less than jack shit about guns, a bayo lug makes it look "meaner." Therefore, you can't have one...
