| Is it legal to put a m16a1 upper on a civilian lower?Do you have to have a certain parts count? |
There's no US parts count necessary for the rifle, unless you're talking MG parts, in which case, don't add any.

As said above. It is okay to use an M16/M16A1 upper receiver assembly on a semiauto lower receiver. Until rather recently ATF has been rather fuzzy about using a fullauto bolt carrier in a semiauto rifle. But for the past year or two Colt has been shipping all it's rifles, even civilian semi's, with a fullauto bolt carrier. There is no differences between a bolt used in a fullauto and one in a semiauto. However, DO NOT use a hammer, trigger or disconnector from a fullauto parts kit. Use only those from a semiauto kit to comply with current law. Here is some pics with descriptions between the parts. |
