Sorry, Greg, but you are just plain wrong...again. The model of Colt
AR15 I have has been manufactured for a long, long time, and predates
Maryland's banning the sale of many other ARs. The rifle was not
"carefully crafted" to skirt Maryland law.

Before 1994 when the model AWB was written?

Gosh, Gregster, I don't know and I'm not going to waste any time
dredging it up. I do know someone who has the same model AR15 I have,
and he bought his used after the turn of the century. His has the carry
handle...mine does not. He kept his Colt A2 sight and forend grips, and
I shaved down my sight and went with a rail system. Other than the
changes I made, and the carry handle, the rifles appear identical. Oh,
and the roll stamp on the side of his receiver is different.

The law is a joke and the gun was made to skirt the law.
How is adding a flash suppressor or a bayonet lug going to make it
more dangerous.?

Are you talking about the Maryland law, which is the only one that
interests me? The model AR I have was specifically exempted by model
name from the Maryland law. Mine had the bayonet lug, but I shaved it
off. Also has a flash suppressor as standard equipment, perfectly legal.

I bet the law makers in Maryland thought they were banning that gun.
They are just to stupid to know what they were banning and what they
weren't.

Nope. The model I have was specifically exempted. Now, don't forget to
remind me that I *could* buy larger cap mags in Virginia if I wanted to,
but, as I told you previously, I have no need or interest in them. I
don't try to empty mags as quickly as I can, and I don't mind reloading
them. Decent rounds are 31 cents each, after all, and blowing off one a
second is not the sort of shooting I do or enjoy.

Have nice day.
