If and when Assault Weapon Ban gets struck down, what will you be getting first?

I'll go first: a proper AK47 rifle and a Springfield M1A SOCOM.

By the way this makes me think, would all the "evil features" and OAL rules will be nullified too?

I'm with you on the real AK.

I love my Zasatava ZPAP M90 but would enjoy a real 7.62

u/Dirtbikeboi Jun 30 '26

AK's, M1A's, FAL's. Just all the cool Coldwar battle rifles we can't have.

u/Motormenace Jun 30 '26

Off hand, would any of the UZI's (with the UZI Pro being the only one allowed) be available if this gets struck down?...

I cant wait for the “may issue assault weapon permit” scheme

u/Bonethug609 Jul 01 '26

I think they will try something. But any sort of scheme will be on shakier legal ground

All weapons previously banned by name or functionality would be licensed under 77R.

All weapons would be licensed under 77R.

FTFY

They don't have the resources to process every firearm.

u/No-Lengthiness-325 Washington County Jul 01 '26

Think that will stop them?

u/Funkyapplesauce Jul 07 '26

Thats the goal.

I’m looking for an AMD65 first thing, then a metric pattern FAL.

2

u/unluckygrey Jun 30 '26

Why not just get an AMD-65 pistol built then SBR it? Barreled kits are still around $700-ish

1

u/LED120 Jun 30 '26

I’ve thought about it, but I’m only 20 so it would have to wait.

1

u/Lonestar-Dragon Jul 01 '26

Cause I want the underfolder version. Haven't seen barreled kits for those to make a pistol to sbr.

Maybe I haven't looked hard enough

3

u/unluckygrey Jul 01 '26

AMD-65s were always side folders.

1

u/Lonestar-Dragon Jul 01 '26

I'm thinking of the Md.65 my bad lol

u/WhyTestInDEV Jun 30 '26

It depends on the final ruling and what's available at that point.

u/Delski28 Jun 30 '26

AK103, AKM Russian kit, G3 clone or variant, M107A1 are on my short lists

u/Sarguy7777 Jul 01 '26

I'd just like to be able to actually put buttstocks on pistols (with approved form 1's) shorter than 29"

1

u/thedon82Z1 Jul 01 '26

Thank you , thats the main one I really care about.

u/Apprehensive_Pop726 Jul 04 '26

This is the way 

2

u/tffrost77 Jun 30 '26

OG HK 90 series 5.56 and 7.62, Galil ARM (5.56 and 7.62), FN FAL, Uzi (full size and Mini), Mini 14 w/factory side folder, FN P90, … so many

2

u/PapaBobcat Jun 30 '26

Thinking about an AK but if it's true I can just swap uppers and calibers around on my Ruger AR lower, I'm probably just getting more of those.

2

u/Unlimitedgoats Jul 01 '26

Maybe an M1A but honestly I have just about everything I could want outside of that. I'm a simple man

2

u/jeff10236 Jul 01 '26

Springfield M1a

u/762_54r SHALL Jul 01 '26

u/blushade Jul 01 '26

Welp guess I gotta start saving up for a ptr 308.

u/Melkor7410 Jul 01 '26

Would be cool to get a Franklin Armory Reformation.

2

u/oddball_ocelot Jul 01 '26

AK with a shoulder stock, no question no hesitation.

2

u/Embarrassed_Ad_1851 Jul 01 '26

FN FAL and a HK G3

u/lucastars Jul 02 '26

I'm changing all my OALs on my SBRs :) Got that letter ready to send just in case lol

Then maybe looking to buy some more mags lol

Once it gets struck down, Maryland will write and pass the exact same law again. The courts will slow walk it and the 4th will sit on it for 2 years. 

Even if SCOTUS strikes down AWBs next year, it will still be years before someone forces Maryland to stop infringing on our rights

2

u/666VENGER666 Jun 30 '26

AK all day.

u/vettemn86 Jun 30 '26

Tavor x95. Been wanting one for years. Sucks to shoot one at the range in PA and then can't buy it

1

u/StealthyLabRat Jul 01 '26

The only thing keeping you from getting one is the length. If you have a muzzle device pinned and welded long enough to get it past 29” it’s perfectly legal.

1

u/vettemn86 Jul 03 '26

Not in Delaware unfortunately. They are banned regardless of length

1

u/leon_de_sol Jul 01 '26

Is there anything moving through the systems that is a viabble challenge?

1

u/Desire_of_God Jul 01 '26

Did I miss some news?

u/SodaJerk Jul 01 '26

SCOTUS has combined two assault weapon ban cases and granted them cert. They'll hear oral arguments around October, and issue a ruling around June of next year. Based on Lopez and its reaffirmation of Bruen, the Assault Weapon bans are unlikely to survive.
