Also I doubt the “range owner” would admit owning such an illegal conversion to pussbag publicity whore as the prissy limey.
It is not easy, unless you are a machinist and have the tools and parts needed to do it. The receivers on civilian AR-15 lower receivers would have to be milled to accept the sear. It is my understanding that the fire control group parts and the sear needed for the conversion to full auto are restricted and not available to your average person. I believe the full auto bolt carrier is also restricted but I am not sure about that. I ran a small arms repair shop in the Army for a few years and have looked at what it would take. It is beyond my skill level to do.
It can be done. Generally, those types of modifications make the weapon unsafe, unreliable, and fairly inaccurate.
Not easy for average Joe’s to do such .... Correct.
To bad they let this Piers of shit in Texas .
Stay safe Mile Hi !
Surprised Ted let him get the Yeman comment in ..... America and Yeman on his armed society is a polite society statement. piers of shit says America and Yeman are most armed countries and Yeman is second per population.
Difference Piers of Shit is Yeman is a TERRORIST SPONSORED STATE filled with islamakazies cultists you pussified ignorant twit ....
Piss poor Peirs of shit poster boy for the gun grabbers agenda.
The media importing trash like piers of shit into America is no less than the Taliban sneekng in terrorists. They both want to destroy this nation while profiting from its riches and citizens hard earned liberty.
My enemies..... Starve the beast as possible. Vote with your dollars and actions between elections folks !
Doom on em all.... Stay safe MileHi ! ... My opinion.
Well, let’s see:
There’s a bit more material milled away at the top of the upper receiver. That’s probably not that difficult, but you need to know what to mill away. Oh, and you’ll need a mill.
The bolt carrier group in the M16/M4 has more mass - ie, there’s more material removed from the BCG on the AR-15. The additional mass of the BCG in the full-auto version helps slow down the cyclic rate of the rifle.
Difficulty: Well, you’d have to either find a M16 BCG, or add mass back to the AR-15 BCG. Adding mass back to the BCG could theoretically be done by making the additional sections of the BCG, filing them to fit, and assumes a skilled TIG welder to integrate them onto the existing BCG. Oh, and then we’re going to have to re-heat treat the BCG. I’d rate the difficulty as “high” without assuming a purchase of a M16 BCG.
Then there’s the changes in the trigger group. Let’s see if I can remember them all:
1. The tail of the trigger will be opened up in the center of the channel to allow the disconnector to ride through. Difficulty: Not that difficult with a small round file.
2. The disconnector has a “tail” on the M16 that just isn’t there. You’d have to find a new parts, or, make the tail and re-shape the existing material on the AR disconnector. Again, we’re assuming a skilled gunsmith with files and a TIG welder.
3. If you want burst-fire, then you need to find the burst disconnector.
4. The selector lever - you’d basically need to find a new one. Attempts to modify it for full auto would probably destroy it.
5. The M16 hammer has a “reverse hook” on it at the rear, to catch the full-auto disconnector. You’d need to make a new hammer or buy one. Welding on M16/AR-15 hammers and triggers will usually result in a molten blob of snot instead of a piece of metal.
I *think* that’s it, but I could be wrong. I don’t play with NFA stuff too often.
Less than two minutes to switch over a semi AR-15 to full auto only. Selective fire requires changing 5 of the semiauto components for full-auto M16 components, and adding a sear trip, AKA *auto-sear,* either a commercial or homebrew version, or the military M16 component. Takes about 20 minutes and two fairly closely located holes in the side of the receiver.
