Are all SAC LATTA Argy's post ban?

**prosecond** · November 27, 2008, 21:21

Looking at buying an argy receiver and it is marked SAC LATTA in the mag well. Are these all post ban thus requiring us parts? I have searched and read a lot of old posts and just want confirmation.
Thanks.

Yep, absolutely all are post ban.

**prosecond** · November 27, 2008, 21:28

Thanks for the reply. Any idea what I should pay for one? I have and agry para kit I would like to complete.

Less than $500 I'd hope.

They have gone up to over 1200.00 as of late. Requires 7 US parts for 922r compliance.

uh - just a minute.

All with SAC lAttica inside the mag well are post ban.

But I've seen some argies from SAC with markings on side of receiver which are supposedly pre 89.

I was working on a trade for this rifle. It got too steep for me. $1425 for a mix-master kit gun. It is an stg58 kit with an Imbel flash supressor and maybe Argy handguards. I talked with the seller and there are no US parts. The more I see stupid stuff like this the more I want to sell what I have.

Forgot to add it is post ban, marked in the mag well SAC LATTA.

As I've said before, I'd not pay more for any imported receiver than what a DSA can be had for!

Understandable. But if you have an Argy kit and wish to complete it as originally as posssible, then the FMAP receiver is worth more than the DSA for that application. The FMAPs are pretty scarce these days, and they are excellent receivers ( the equal of the DSAs although functionally or quality-wise no better ).

I agree that this one is over the top !!

Dang. This stuff is getting spendy.

I was under the impression that ALL SACs were postban. First I've heard of this possible exception, but I certainly don't have Marks' experience. Maybe Lee can clarify ?

Is there anyway to verify that these came into the US before 1994 ? I am not concerned with the 1989 ban but there still is a ban in CT from 1994. The markings on the one I have are on the outside of the receiver.

I bought my magwell stamped Latta SC Argentine upper in May of 1994 and took it home with me that day. My upper was serial # just north of #2000.

The US AWB was signed in Sept 1994.

I don't know what that means to you, but I suspect most/all of the Latta SC barrelled uppers were "released to the public" before the AWB was signed.

Does that help folks in ban states?
Edit - I suspect no, because my limited research says the CT AWB was effective Oct 1, 1993. Still not sure when DSA/SAC got them approved for sale, but that narrows it down to "for sure they were in by may 1994."

Info on the CT Ban .."Sec. 53-202m. Circumstances when assault weapons exempt from limitations on transfers and registration requirements. Notwithstanding any provision of the general statutes, sections 53-202a to 53-202l, inclusive, shall not be construed to limit the transfer or require the registration of an assault weapon as defined in subdivision (3) or (4) of subsection (a) of section 53-202a, provided such firearm was legally manufactured prior to September 13, 1994."

but your info is good to know as my s/n in the 1300's
