Is This Group Ind. Receiver Pre or Post Ban ??

[762x51]

I've been offered a Group Industries receiver with these markings:

HR4332S
9mm/45ACP/22
GP Ind
Lou KY 40214

On the other side is the serial # 5091xx

Is this a pre or post ban receiver ???  ???

Thanks

Don't know...Wouldn't serial # be enough to document pre/post ban?

The key to the whole deal is whether or not the receiver (even if manufactured prior to the ban) was assembled into a "SAW" prior to the ban.

You may indeed have a pre-ban, if it was assembled as a SAW prior to the ban - but if it was not assembled into a SAW, it makes no difference when the receiver was manufactured.  It would still be considered a post-ban.

What a mess they have created for us. :

The way I see it...

Now, do the "Boys From Brazil" see it that way  ??? ??? ???

A receiver was produced prior to the 1989 ban,
it was assembled and test fired and then disassembled for sale AS A RECEIVER ONLY, wouldn't that make it a bonified pre-ban receiver?
