The fact that the receiver may have been manufactured prior to September 13, , is immaterial to classification of a weapon as a semiautomatic assault weapon. Additionally, payment or non-payment of excise tax is also immaterial to classification of a firearm as a semiautomatic assault weapon. What he is reiterating is, as far as pre-ban and post-ban is concerned, the date of manufacture of the receiver has nothing to do with anything.
Notice I say SAW. The existence of firearm alone is not enough - it had to be in a form that would now be illegal to manufacture. Let me give you a few examples to clarify this:. Public bought himself an AR receiver in and put it in his safe. In April , he decided to build it into a rifle. Did she buy a pre-ban receiver? It was a SAW before the date, and is therefore pre-ban.
Are they pre-ban? No way. Are they pistol lowers? Is it a legal pre-ban rifle. BATF accepts this as a complete pre-ban rifle. A year later, he decides that he would like a pistol grip and folding stock added to make it a better home defense gun. Is this legal? Confused yet? The basic rule of thumb to use is, if you are planning to buy a pre-ban gun or receiver, make sure that the person selling it to you can prove that it was built as a SAW or in a complete kit form on or before The Date.
Many people also believe that a serial number can tell you whether or not a receiver is pre- or post-ban. This is not always the case, contrary to several lists that can be found online or at gun shows.
Well, that information alone does not tell you. Was it a rifle? Remember, you must know when the receiver was built into a firearm! Please pass this information on to your friends, neighbors, local gunshops, or anywhere you feel this could be helpful. The more knowledge we all possess, the better off our sport and sportsmen will be. Until then, play nice and shoot straight! Thesecond group semi position contains one letter - 'B'.

It came with everything Iasked for and a warranty paper. Vectoralso added their name a little further forward on the gun on the leftside of the receiver as they do with all of their guns. Theright side of the gun has the two ribs running the full length to theback, an easy identifier for IMI receivers. Thearea where the bayonet lug no longer exists looks good and clean, andto the non-educated, no one would ever know there was supposed to beone on there.
Thetop cover has the slide plate with the aleration warning marking, foundon all semi auto variants. Upontaking the top cover off, you see that the gun has the skeletonizedtrunion of an IMI gun, a modified feedramp as well as the semi autobarrel restrictor band. Thebarrel lacks a trunion restriction band as seen on the full auto MiniUzi barrels allthough there is a very tiny step up near the back.
Therear end is turned down to fit inside the barrel restriction band abovethe feed ramp. Ifound out that on some barrels, the P stamping stands for Pretoria. Lyttelton is a South African Uzi parts maker that Vector uses forparts, and some of their parts were subcontracted through PretoriaMetal Pressing PMP which is also a division of Denel, the parentcompany of Lyttleton which is now called Vektor. In other cases original IMI guns this 'P' marking is simply a inspection proof stamp.
This is why the original IMI Mini Uzi carbines with the sidefolding stock shipped with a looong barrel sticking out the front ofthe gun. The previous minimum barrel length use to be 19'. In order fora gun to be considered a pistol, it cannot have a stock of any sort,so, in order to have the original looking 8' barrel AND the originalside folding stock on the same Mini Uzi, the gun has to be registeredwith the ATF as a 'short barrel rifle' or 'SBR'.
This involves alengthy process of submitting forms and fingerprint cards and someother stuff I wont go into detail about here. I waited until around April to send mygun into Vector to have them do the conversion.
I sent it in a waitedabout three weeks before calling them and asking how things were going. They said that they had just taken on a major contract and would nolonger be doing work on personal guns. After a few emails back and forth, I decided to send my gun in to him. It is hard to tell sometimes if the serial numbers don't match.
