Hello,
My buddy met a guy at the gun range who sold him an entire trigger assymbley for a m16. this has the sear and everything in a sealed bag. Is this illegal for him to own without a class 3 license? If not, can he get a class 3 and a lower receiver stripped before 84 and have a fully auto gun? |

I'd just tell him to try and return it or sell it. Not bad for him to have but you don't want to be in position where someone may think that you have intentions of converting a semi-auto.
He can not get a class 3 and build an M-16. Don't work like that. You can buy one if you have the funds.... M-16 for sale . |

Lot's of good info can be found in the NFA section:
http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=6&f=17&t=199928 Q: How do I make a semi auto gun into a machine gun? A: Generally, you don't, unless you want to spend the next 10 years in prison and pay a $250K fine. No new machine guns can be made, as per the 1986 ban. We have to keep trading the ones already out there. But with certain platforms (M16/HK/and others), there are registered conversion devices (that themselves are considered MGs and were also registered with the BATF before the 1986 ban) that you can "put in" a semi-auto weapon to make it into a MG. These conversion devices are in the $8K-and-up range and going up at the same rate as registered-receivers (semi-auto's converted to MGs and registered with the BATF before the 1986 ban) and domestic factory MGs that were legally registered with the BATF before the 1986 ban and foreign made MGs that were registered with the BATF before the 1968 ban. . |
