Does it also affect non-serialized parts? I ask because I'm going to buy a lower and a few magazines, but I can't really afford a whole rifle right now. I'll add those parts later if they aren't included in the ban.
There's cutting helical grooves into tubing, and then there's making barrels. I believe that it's better than smoothbore, but you simply will not shoot MOA groups with an etched barrel.
You can make corrosive primers at home. You just need you rinse the barrell and receiver out afterwards. Or you can use non smokeless powders. They actually coat the barrel protecting it.
I live in a state that has progressed a bit further into the gun ban dungeon. So I can give you a heads up whats coming. After this they will be going for parts, lowers and jigs. If I had to guess they'll zero in on 80's first but they'll probably lump all of those things into a single effort.

I think that they'll reclassify AR upper receivers as 'firearms' on that front. It would solve several issues for them. First, it would effectively stop all unregistered home builds of ARs in a way that banning or reclassifying 80 lowers could not (even if 80s were restricted, it's now practical to simply 3D print a lower at home; try easily making an upper at home). Second it would stop people from making their "grandfathered" lowers into complete guns. So if you had bought a dozen lowers in anticipation of an AWB (80s or 100s, doesn't matter), you would not be able to finish them afterwards because the upper receivers would be considered 'assault weapons.'
TLDR; Make sure you have uppers to go with your lowers, since it's much harder to make an upper at home than a lower.
You're absolutely right. Upper and lower are the main ones.
But they are still going to try to ban or regulate ALL parts. Anything that can be made into or used to assemble this fantasy "assault weapon" they'll go after. Triggers hammers tubes grips jigs etc.
Well, to be truthful, homemade uppers are not that much of a stretch these days. A mill, some steppers and a control board and you're basically there. For bonus points, cast the aluminum from used beer cans (I have no idea if that's of sufficient quality before someone calls me on that).
PSA: Almost every semiautomatic weapon in the country falls under this bill's definition of "assault weapon."

you add them anyway, then use them.
Just mill 80s later. Barrels and primers are the bits you can't make.
You can make barrels now:

Not for rifle rounds
You can make corrosive primers at home. You just need you rinse the barrell and receiver out afterwards. Or you can use non smokeless powders. They actually coat the barrel protecting it.

Electronic ignition is a thing, primers are not strictly required.
No way to track this shit as of yet so get your receivers now. Get one for every grandchild you expect to have.

Yes. While they might not you have it. If you are ever found to have one that is completed they'll get you then. ( ie at a range)
Assault weapon is just a made up bullshit term used to control and manipulate people like “racism”.
