If memory serves, it could be either or. I have an -A2, what I call the post-pre-ban... it was built in the early '90's after Colt resumed production, but before the AWB. It doesn't have a bayonet lug, but it also doesn't have the receiver block, either. It is a Big Pin lower. SN# MHxxxxxx.
Technically, and more importantly, legally, I believe anything made before SEP94 (13SEP94, to be exact...) is pre-ban, everything else is post-ban.

Wouldn't anything with a flash suppressor and bayonet lug be pre ban? As I remember things any AR with either of those items be would be pre ban or current production.

You could measure/inspect the front sight to see if it's an A2 or F-marked sight. The A2 sights went with the carry handle upper receivers. The F-marked (think Flat topped) sights went with the Flat Top Upper Receiver with the picatinny rail.
If the front sight has the bayonet lug is it either pre-ban or post-ban. If you have a flat top Upper with an A2 front sight and bayonet lug, the barrel and front sight have been replaced. |
