When looking for ar-15 barrels I see that some are listed pre and post ban. What is the difference? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused1.gif

Thanks
 
The "pre-ban" barrels will normally have a bayonet-lug and a threaded muzzle. A "post-ban" will not have the bayonet-lug and will have a crowned muzzle, no threads.
 
I think for the most part it would be the threads for a flash hider, if the front sight is on it, might also have the bayonet lug also. Now that the ban is over I dont know if it makes much difference now, but it used to be you couldnt put pre-ban parts on a post-ban rifle. If I am wrong I am SURE I will be corrected!
 
Some states, like New York, continued some form of the AWB after the Federal version sun-set. If you don't live in an effected state, then the term "pre-ban" and "post-ban", related to barrels, is purely a description of the barrel's configuration.
 
There are states that still have the pre/post ban thing.

NY, Connecticut, and Kalifornia come to mind - mix the wrong parts... go to jail.
