    I have a AR-15 that I purchased new around 1990. It is still new as I never fired it. It came packaged with the Colt 22 conversion kit, even though I didn't order it that way. My question is about the bayonet lug. It doesn't have one. I have read that pre-ban Ar-15's had the lug so I am confused. It is still in the green label box, serial number GS0084xx. Also, the two magazines are 20 round blocked down to 5. Is this firearm what people want to term pre-ban? Thank you for any responses. This is a very educational forum.
    PS---model number is R6550K

    Can Bayonet Lugs still be manufactured on shotguns? I am interested in a Mossberg 590 but typically shop in the pre-ban market. How is this gun considered. Any help is much appreciated.

    There are several semi-automatic shotguns with detachable magazines. The Saiga and Brolin SAS12 come to mind. I think semi-automatic shotguns with detachable magazines are regulated the same as "assault rifles," but they are restircted to 5-round magazines instead of 10-round as I recall. However, as reported, no such restrictions are attached to pump shotguns. If you buy a Mossberg, you can put on the new Knoxx Industries Sidewinder 10-round drum kit. Neat, but a little awkward in its forward placement. Knoxx is working on its own shotgun that will use the same magazine in the conventional location. It will also have the kit for the Remington M870. Check them out at wwww.knoxx.com.

    I don't know of any restrictions on a pump, but the '94 ban definition of assault shotgun is:(D) a semiautomatic shotgun that has at least 2 of - (i) a folding or telescoping stock; (ii) a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon; (iii) a fixed magazine capacity in excess of 5 rounds; and (iv) an ability to accept a detachable magazine. The Spas 12 is an example of a banned assault shotgun.[This message has been edited by boeboe (edited 03-17-2002).]
