A true collector's piece, it offers legal advantages for owners in states where post-ban rifles are subject to additional restrictions.

History: The Eagle Arms brand, known for producing quality AR-15 rifles, gained significant recognition in the 1980s and 1990s for building reliable, military-style firearms for civilian markets. The M16, originally developed for military service in the late 1950s and adopted by the U.S. Army in the 1960s, has been a cornerstone of modern firearms design. The AR-15, a civilian derivative, remains one of the most popular rifles in the U.S. today.
This particular Eagle Arms M16-Style AR-15 was purchased just three days before the federal Assault Weapons Ban was signed into law in 1994. As a result, it retains pre-ban features that make it more desirable for collectors, especially in states where post-ban rifles are subject to limitations such as magazine capacity and certain cosmetic modifications. Rifles like this are increasingly rare, as most pre-ban models were limited to production until the cutoff date.
