| I have built a semi auto ar15, and I dont even know where to start to getting into a full auto M16. I would like to build it for .22 and would like to use the parts I have of my rifle already built. So do i need to find a M16 lower receiver to build on? Do they even exsist anymore? If so, where could I find one? And is there any way registering my receiver now for full auto use? I guess my main question is cheapest way to have full auto AR legally. Thanks |
www.recguns.com/Sources/IIF1.html I suggest you read up before you try something silly and end up in Federal "PMITA" Prison. |
The CHEAPEST way is to get a registered lightning-link or registered auto-sear... That is the only way to LEGALLY convert a semi AR to full... The process is the same as for a complete gun, but the 'part' is the registered 'firearm' in this case... Prices are comparable to (but slightly lower than) a registered M16 reciever.... |

"That is the only way to LEGALLY convert a semi AR to full..." Actually, that's not entirely true. It can be done legally if you form a firearms manufacturing business, get a Type 07 FFL issued to you, and pay the Class 2 SOT. Then, it's just a matter of doing what you like and notifying the government via a Form 2. Oh, and paying the appropriate FET. That's what I did. I actually built a couple M-16's last month. One was sold to an FFL/SOT here in TN, the other was for us to use as a test-bed for suppressors. (Really, it was built for us to play with when we felt like it.) Now, I have three post-sample M-16's, all built by converting AR recievers. Is it really feasible for most people? No, but, it is legal. |
