Hi Mr. G-man

Good luck with the full-auto!

Are you kidding? You can't build a Full Auto rifle!!!! There are several laws regarding the building of such rifles, and it will earn you a stint in club FED if you get caught.

This is your first post?!?! Are you some kind of a gov't troll?!

Scrap your plans. If you want to play in the full auto world, you gotta pay to play. Legally registered and transferrable full auto rifles cost around $10-15k.

Look into the NFA forums for more info.

NFA weapons are not something you take easy man. You cant make an full auto, you have to buy a preban lower. To many laws to list regarding the gen pop making fa weapons.

Check the class3 forums. Just a word to the wise here, dont take any class 3 or nfa weapon or idea easy. Cuz bubba sure aint gonna be easy on you in the pen.

Suppose you do legally own such a weapon, what relevancy does receiver extension type have on FA rifle? Many prefer mil-spec tubes because they're more rugged, but it really doesn't matter regardless if a SA or FA.

It appears to me that the original post regarded the compatibility of FA AR15s with different receiver extensions. You know what a receiver extension is and you don't know it's against the law to build a machine gun?

Finds the extension may be a little worse for the wear, being FA and all, so asks a simple question.

Face it, anyone TRYING to build a FA would be warned by every supplier about the applicable laws. OTOH, there are times when it may be quite simple to get FA parts! I bought a CETME parts kit from the Dealer's Warehouse, and the Bolt Assembly AND Trigger Pack are both FA! Finagle that spare trigger housing onto the receiver and it ROCK & ROLL! I'm really surprised that retailers can sell FA parts kits. Seems to me the prudent thing would be to remove the 1 or 2 critical FA parts from the trigger pack at a minimum.

And to answer the OP's question, I'd go with Mil-Spec. Designed for heavy use, not weekender duty.
