PRE BAN Lower question

[nin8888nin]

Forgive me if this is a stupid question.
If i buy a pre ban lower from someone(i'm in MA). Since it's a pre ban, am i able to put ANY type of Upper(with flash hider, etc) on it?

yup, as long as you still maintain the 16.1" ruling.
Assuming your buying a pre ban lower now, you might not be able to afford an upper, lol

If you are in Boston you may want to read up on its specific AWB.

In theory yes. I don't want to complicate matters but there are "large hole" pre ban uppers and lowers as well as standard hole ones. You can not mix and match without conversion pins.

Also, under the old Fed Ban (all the info we have to work with), the pre-ban lower to actually be recognized as "pre-ban" HAD to either have been built up or kitted with "evil features" on/prior to 9/13/1994 to count as "pre-ban" legally. No such ruling has ever occurred TTBOMK in MA, but that precedent could easily be used in court and I'd give odds that it would be accepted if ever put to the test.

As pointed out above if you live in Boston, you can't possess ANY AR-15 inside the City limits (or larger than 10 rd rifle mags for anything)! Boston doesn't recognize anything as "pre-ban". That said, if you can store it outside of the City and never bring it into the City, you'd be legal to own it.

You can mix and match the pin holes by using a special pin I have them in stock.
