The description of it as a "WW II era" weapons leads me to think it may be an M1 Garand. Thousands of these have been sold to civilians over the years. I don't think that weapon was ever banned under the Clinton AWB, even with a bayonet lug.
My WWII era rifle is a short magazine lee enfield. I can get off 30 aimed shots a minute.
It also makes a slightly bigger hole going in.
And by the way, I have the bayonet too.
Based on what? It could have been an Enfield, Mauser, Springfield, Mosin-Nagant, etc. Considering the bayonet was 15 inches long, I would tend to believe it was bolt action rifle.
Even if it was, guns manufactured before 1994 didn't have to meet the provision of the ban. It is "pre-Ban".
