Let’s say tomorrow the AR makers got a MANDATE to only make the select fire version.Skans » 23 Aug 2023, 4:56 pm » wrote: ↑ Well, I'm a MAGA, and I'm about to school you, once again, about the differences between an AR and M16, since you got it wrong.Depending on the make of the AR, there are other parts that could be different too (i.e. older Colts and certain semi-auto uppers), but not worth mentioning.
- The auto-sear assembly (consists of sear, spring, pin and roll pin), selector switch, disconnector AND hammer are different from an M16 to an AR-15.
- The full-auto bolt carrier used to be different between an AR and an M16, but most newer AR's use full-auto bolt carriers.
- The lower receivers of the M16 and AR are different in that 1) there is an extra "happy-hole" on the M16 and 2) the shelf in milled out on the M16.
The ONLY part of an M16 that is "outlawed" is an M16 lower receiver manufactured after 1986.
Not much change in tooling, right?
There are about 800,000 real, honest to God machine guns in private ownership and only two non fatal crimes have involved registered NFA machine guns and those two, were crooked cops exempt from the NFA act, and no murders.
Perfect gun safety record since 1934.
My son bought my $400 AR from an individual.
That’s not such a very good idea to sell Armalite rifles like L. C. Smith shotguns.
My new to me 1908 $700 LC Smith hammer gun has an extra set of 20” riot barrels, for Cowboy Action use.
When they revise the 1968 GCA they need to make all antique arms Pre 1969, except for the Armalites and Klashinkovs.
The problem is 100% modern era people shooter type guns.
The guns we have loved all our lives are golf clubs and fishing poles that go bang.
