    Aside for stocking up on AR15 lowers, what are folks planning to buy before 10/1? I'm a complete newbie, so I'm looking at 3 to 5 AR15 stripped lowers, ideally one SBRed because I'm not convinced it will be possible for Form 1 them after 10/1; maybe an AK; and possibly the S&W M&P 15-22 simply because I fear the "imitation" in the AR15 definition, and the waffling in the past on their status, though I agree they should be clearly safe. What else on the about-to-be-banned list should every enthusiast have in their collection?

    For 3 to 5 lowers, I hope your a designated collector. Otherwise you may run short on time.

    Rimfires are unaffected, so the 15/22 can wait.

    AK pattern, pick your poison.

    M1A

    Threaded barrels for all your pistols.

    Tavor
    CZ75 in .40
    SAM7R but really dont need it.
    RIA TCM if the dies materialize
    Id take another Webley

    Should be able to do the shrike upper after the ban, as its "parts", the rimfire stuff and boltgun stuff can weight.

    Thats about it other than impulse purchases.

    The one question mark are the Kel-Tec 2000's I have one, but would like a second, do they meet the requirements of the ban?

    Have an app in for the DC, yessir! :thumbsup:

    Threaded barreled pistols were dropped from 4-301(E) "Copycat weapons" http://legiscan.com/MD/text/SB281 which is going to save me some serious cash! I had a USP45 Tactical on my wishlist at one point.

    (xliv) Weaver Arms "Nighthawk" semi-auto carbine
    (xlv) Wilkinson Arms 9mm semi-auto "Terry"

    "Copycat weapons" which is one of the following (note this explicitly excludes the assault long guns list, so none of these tests apply if its on "the list" above; e.g. an AR15 is banned because its an AR15, it doesn't matter if it has folding stock and a grenade launcher):

    "Copycat" Rifles
    4-301(e)(1)(i) Semi-auto centerfire rifle with detachable magazine and 2 or more evil features from {folding stock, flash hider, grenade launcher} (remember that a flash hider and telescoping stock would be ok)
    4-301(e)(1)(ii) Semi-auto centerfire rifle with fixed magazine with the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds.
    4-301(e)(1)(iii) Semi-auto centerfire rifle with an overall length less that 29 inches. (this gets the PS90)

    "Copycat" Pistols
    4-301(e)(1)(iv) Semi-auto pistol with fixed magazine with the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds.

    "Copycat" Shotguns
    4-301(e)(1)(v) Semi-auto shotgun (pump ok) with a folding stock.
    4-301(e)(1)(vi) Any shotgun with a revolving cylinder.
