What are the odds youll be able to get handgun parts if the ban comes into effect? I'm thinking of getting an assembled frame now, and then the slide later to finish the gun, since the frame is the serialized part. Will it be impossible to get the slide assembly after the ban?

I think the ammo will still be ok, since you can get some rifles in handgun calibers, but some of the more noticeable parts like slides I'm kinda worried about.

Probably be fine since unless it’s the frame the rest isn’t considered as the firearm
