    Continuing my use care when buying,

    Look closely at the pictures. Note the bayo lug with the ears ground off and the serial number with the name "changed" to "756S7" in hopes of making Bush-1 happy.

    "Caught in port" rifle, nice piece of history showing how stupid a person can be and make it to president (like we haven't proven this many times in the last 30 years! Unfortunately not a true pre-ban even though it has only two modifications on it in the ATF attempt to meet the Bush-1 executive order demanding they enforce the sporting purpose clause of the new second amendment.

    Actually Bush the Elder only did an EO to temporarily ban import pending review. Stephen E. Higgins, director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms was directed to look at anything in the law that would stop the nearly 1 MILLION pre ban guns from being imported (so so so SAD that they did not get in ) But Bush the Elder didn't have the authority to permanently ban anything. The ATF reviewed the EXISTING WORDING of the Sporting purpose Clause of GCA 68 to interpret it to ban anything that had no 'sporting purpose'. So they declared pre bans to have no sporting purpose. That idiotic part of the law was written by and lobbied for by AMERICAN GUN MANUFACTURERS like Remington and Colt and Smith & Wesson, et. al to keep out a lot of small surplus Foreign handguns. SO though it happened under his watch, the actual mechanism for BANNING all the pre 1989 guns was already IN THE FEDERAL LAW, thanks to short sighted American gun manufacturers.

    Which is exactly why he wrote the EO forcing ATF to follow the law. The lucky thing is that ATF followed the 10 imported parts section to allow importation of rifles that were formerly non-sporting, giving us the MAK-90 from both the 56S and 84S.

    I really wonder what would happen if someone went in front of a judge and ATF said, "your honor, the charge is having 11 imported parts in his rifle instead of 10, that the trigger is foreign instead of USA made".
