Sorry - the 16 will never be available from the CMP for the same reason you can't get a 14 - the BATF says that "once a machine gun always a machine gun" and they cannot be "downgraded" to to a semi-auto. Not true. Replace the automatic sear with a semi-automatic sear and the M4/M16 is legal again.
Unless Obama brings back the "Five Deadly Sins" of an eeeeeevil assault rifle: 1) detachable magazine 2) pistol grip 3) bayonet lug 4) flash supressor 5) folding stock.

Not true. Replace the automatic sear with a semi-automatic sear and the M4/M16 is legal again. Not true. The BATFE will not allow that platform to be sold without several parts being changed to "semi-auto" versions, plus part of the receiver must be shaped to block function of said auto-sear. You can get in a lot of trouble for having an AR15 without the auto sear but with the other full-auto parts and milled-out receiver block.

I would suggest consulting an attorney before attempting such a conversion.
