[QUOTE="HiredHand, post: 3422657, member: 2469"] I find it’s useful to look back at how things were in order to have a better perspective on they way they are today. I reached the point of being able to buy my own firearms during the last half of the AWB and remember being worried that it would be extended indefinitely. With that in mind, I’d love to hear some of your memories about what it was like living under the restrictions of the AWB. I’ll go first. I wasn’t into ARs mostly because we didn’t own one when I was growing up and everything I read about them was mostly negative. A buddy of mine served in the Marine Corp and he’s the one that got me interested in the platform. I remember him talking about pre and post-ban ARs and the idea of swapping uppers seemed like a foreign concept to us. Plus, there were all the restrictions that you had to adhere to like permanently attached flash hiders, no bayonet lugs, and semi-auto bolt carriers to name a few. Now it doesn’t seem like a big deal to order parts off the internet and assemble your own AR on your living room floor. What do you remember? [/QUOTE]
