The AWB was one of those "little bites" out of the 2nd Amendment that the liberals like to take hoping that it will lead to a much bigger bite later on. In this case it didn't lead to much of anything. Contrary to what the liberal media and a couple of anti-gun Senators want you to believe the following items have been legally available to the American public in one form or another for the entire span of the AWB; black rifles with box magazines, rifles with pistol grips, magazines with a capacity of more than 10 rounds, folding and/or collapsing stocks, rifles with bayonet lugs, rifles with flash hiders and rifles with threaded barrels. In addition to those items, the American public can and could legally buy and use full auto weapons (in most states), sound suppressors (known as silencers), and short barreled rifles and shotguns. They just have to live in the right state, have the money, be eligible legally and follow the Tax law and BATF rules.
