    Windham B.F.I marked Bushmaster bought at a pawn shop in October of 01' by my late father. *OUT OF TOWN TILL 23RD*
    As the title and short description state, this is a Bushmaster XM15-E2S my late father bought one month after 9/11 during the assault weapons ban, image of the receipt is below.

    A2 configuration, tear drop forward assist. The A2 grip and XM177 buttstock are identical replacements of the originals.

    Windham B.F.I marked lower, bullpup Bushmaster logo and pre-ban serial number, "K" Forge mark on the A2 upper, "9 R Crown" mark on the FSGB, "B MP 5.56 NATO 1/9 H BAR" marked barrel.

    Forge marks shown in pictures. I found it with a lo-pro on and remounted the FSGB myself with a jig and nylon hammer, I think my dad was gonna do something else with it after the ban lifted but abandoned the project. It has been tested and confirmed working. I don't know how many rounds it had through it before purchase in 01', but it's had less than 300 rounds through it since.

    Comes with pictured magazines (green follower).

    Get yourself an authentic retro rifle, a coveted Windham B.F.I lower, and help me fund my Jeep repairs and 12.5" upper build!

    I will not sell just the lower, purchase is of whole rifle and two mags only.

    $900 OBO.

    Can you explain what makes this a pre ban?
    Certainly, it was produced before the passage of, and therefore eligible for sale during, the U.S. 1994 Assault Weapons ban which passed after a series of high-profile mass shootings in the early 90's and lasted for ten years. It has all the features specifically mentioned in the ban, including the A2 flash hider, adjustable stock, and bayonet lug.

    During the ban, the value of the weapon can be seen on the attached receipt, but since the sunset of the ban in '04 its value has gone down in most of the country except the one or two states that passed their version of the AWB and retain the grandfather clause of the federal version for rifles produced before 1994.

    These "Pre-ban" AR-15s can still be seen to carry a hefty premium on Gunbroker, ostensibly for collectors and people in Massachusetts, although they've since updated their gun control legislation recently, and I could not find conclusive evidence that the grandfather clause still functions as it did for pre-94' rifles. It would appear all sales of assault weapons are banned there now, not just weapons assembled after a certain date.

    As the listing states, my late father purchased it in 01' used from a pawn shop, as indicated by the receipt.
    My understanding is the only weapons with those features eligible for sale to civilians during the ban are those made pre-Sept 94'.
     
    Hey, I'm like 30 minutes from University Gun & Pawn! Cool pre-ban, GLWS!
    Ha, small world (or at least state)! Maybe you and my dad would have met at the range if he went more often :p

    Sometimes I miss So-Flo... sometimes. Much easier to find whatever you want right away instead of having it shipped to you. Don't miss the traffic though, lol.

    Thank you!
