Is it legal to put M16 parts in an AR15?
To clarify, I'm asking about the selector switch, the bolt carrier etc. I'm not talking about sear's or any full auto equipment, simply m16 parts? |

Simply put, anything besides a full-auto BCG will be seen as constructive intent in the eyes of the BATF. So no selector switch, trigger group, sear, or sear hole. ^^That. Also, M16 firing pins are banned I'll just throw the whole rifle away then...

IIRC, Isn't the BCG the only M16 part that has been deemed A OK to use in an AR (Fire control group wise)?
And also, didn't I read here that "constructive intent" is made up and no one has been charged/prosecuted for? (I'm not saying that, someone here did) The Bureau can (and does) charge people with manufacturing a MG or transferring an unregistered MG,etc. not the mere possession of a hammer, sear, etc. like those that come with the M16 parts kits for sale right now. Those people who have bought the parts kits with the FA parts should have been arrested upon delivery right? Realistically, it would behoove you not to have FA parts for your AR other than the BCG, since you have no use for them, and hypothetically the BATFE could fuck you, as they operate outside the legal process(gotta love administrative law, none of that pesky Congress getting in the way). |

I found this to be very interesting Under the heading: INFORMATION CONCERNING AR-15 TYPE RIFLES ...In order to avoid violations of the NFA, M16 hammers, triggers, disconnectors, selectors and bolt carriers must not be used in assembly of AR-15 type semiautomatic rifles, unless the M16 parts have been modified to AR-15 Model SP1 configuration. Any AR-15 type rifles which have been assembled with M16 internal components should have those parts removed and replaced with AR-15 Model SP1 type parts which are available commercially. The M16 components also may be modified to AR-15 Model SP1 configuration. From here (page 155) |

Quoted: Quoted: If the receiver doesn't have the third hole and it only goes bang once with one pull of the trigger, you're good. That's the best answer to this question. But it is incorrect according to the BATF. If you possess spare M-16 fire control parts and an AR-15 then the whole constructive intent shit starts to rear its ugly head. I don't agree with it, but that's what they say. http://www.titleii.com/bardwell/atf_letter52.txt ETA: Quoted: Is it legal to put M16 parts in an AR15? To clarify, I'm asking about the selector switch, the bolt carrier etc. I'm not talking about sear's or any full auto equipment, simply m16 parts? It would be perfectly legal if you have an RDIAS |

Anyone remember the poster in WI that the ATF railroaded? |

Play it safe and remove the disconnector block in the selector switch. That way you have your normal safe position and two fire positions that will allow semi auto fire.
Beyond that, why would you want to put M16 parts in an AR? It's asking for trouble with dumbshit LE and ATF who will not hesitate to throw your ass in the chipper to make themselves look good. |

Well, M-16 BCGs are common enough that they are as cheap as the commercial ones (usually). |

If they want your ass, they'll just modify, contort, and break parts until the desired effect is achieved. |
