M16 Parts Legality

Nothing illegal about it until you put it together. I own a bunch of full auto parts here in California too yet nobody cares until it suddenly falls together in a certain way.

Just as long as you don't drill a 3rd pin and it can't accept an auto sear you'll be fine.

don't drill a third hole. don't put in an auto sear. don't put in a giggle switch, put in a semi auto switch. do use a semi auto trigger group.

FA BCG, hammer, and lower receiver(minus auto sear hole) are perfectly legal to use.

>not op
can you order nfa items without a stamp? like go out and buy a sear, burst trigger, and selector switch without having put in paperwork.

Thanks guys. Seems it would be easier to just use semi-only parts and save myself the worry.

I was finding them online at plenty of retailers. They said they were sold only as replacement parts for registered full-autos, but they didn't seem to actually restrict the purchasing of those parts in any way.

You can own the parts legally.
It's just there's the grey area of constructive intent when dealing with NFA items, some people say just owning the parts is illegal, other people say it's perfectly legal unless you drill a third hole.

don't have a jig for drilling out a lower to be FA and you ok. though if you have the jig or the commands for a CNC mill. they can get you for constructive intent.

>some people say just owning the parts is illegal,

As far as the BATF is concerned, only a completed receiver is the actual firearm, and all other parts are just parts.
