I was in college when the ban was passed. The day after the vote I called up and ordered twenty five unissued 15rd M-1 Carbine mags plus five 30rd mags. I think I paid $5 a piece for the 15rd mags and $8 for the 30rd mags. When they arrived a few days later I checked to make sure I got what I ordered, sealed the box back up, and put it in my closet. The box is still there, untouched since 1994. I already had dozens of mags when I ordered the extra's, and USGI M-1 mags last a long time.

I was talking with some young guys at the range recently and referred to a rifle (Colt HBar) as "pre ban". They didn't know what I was talking about. I explained the ban to them, they couldn't believe there was a law like that. I couldn't believe how old that conversation made me feel.
