And what parts are interchangeable with the M14? Mags maybe? Sling maybe. IMHO, there is no way Garands would be affected. Not to mention it would make most VFWs have to dump them.

Nice, someone responding to a question that knows what they're talking about, instead of shooting from the hip and spreading misinformation, (My reference to the mags was sarcasm) I own a garand, and you can too...for $1400.its nonsense. Your garand is unaffected since its made before the 1994 AWB which the current law referenceses.
Not to mention there are no mags in a garand, it uses a clip. The only thing that's really interchangable (aside from the sling and cleaning kit) would be the sights. The trigger group, bolt, op rod, barrel, etc are all different. I own both.

Good luck with that certainty.
"If a gun’s operating system is essentially the same as that of a banned weapon, or if the gun has components that are interchangeable with those of a banned weapon, it’s a “copy” or “duplicate,” and it is illegal."
Again, what components are "interchangeable"? So if a 03a3 barrel can be modified to work on an assault rifle...o3a3's are banned????
Nobody knows.Does this mean I can't go get an M-1-A??
Including old rug munchie herself!Nobody knows.
Because it is pre 94, yes its good. But again.
- Similarity Test: A weapon is a Copy or Duplicate if its internal functional components are substantially similar in construction and configuration to those of an Enumerated Weapon. Under this test, a weapon is a Copy or Duplicate, for example, if the operating system and firing mechanism of the weapon are based on or otherwise substantially similar to one of the Enumerated Weapons.

Post ban mini 14s? Unclear. carbines should be good provided they are preban.Just to mix it up, M1-carbines are also common and of that same era. There are also all the mini-14's. Would they be caught in limbo?
Sorry dude but something made 35 years before the AR15 and AK47 were invented cannot be a copy of either one of them.Good luck with that certainty.

I am with you, I just would not anticipate the ag being with you. Preban? Your good. Post ban? We may all be felons.Sorry dude but something made 35 years before the AR15 and AK47 were invented cannot be a copy of either one of them.
