Not if they were specifically modified to accomodate laws relating to civilian use....but that is NOT redesign....which is why you can't find any citations saying so.
No..You've lost the argument you had with me and now you are, as is your wont, inventing a different argument you think you can win...
Dubass, not all AR manufactures make the same weapon for the military. So that does not mean they accommodating anything. Nod if you understand. Next, *******, go back to that list of parts of that had to be redesigned for the Sporter so it could be a civilian weapon. Nod if you understand.
The following is a redesign:
In order to prevent a civilian semi-automatic AR-15 from being readily converted for use with the select fire components, Colt changed a number of features. Parts changed include the lower receiver, bolt carrier, hammer, trigger, disconnector, and safety/mode selector. The semi-automatic bolt carrier has a longer lightening slot to prevent the bolt's engagement with an automatic sear. Due to a decrease in mass the buffer spring is heavier. On the select fire version, the hammer has an extra spur which interacts with the additional auto-sear that holds it back until the bolt carrier group is fully in battery, when automatic fire is selected.
[20] Using a portion of the select fire parts in a semi-automatic rifle will not enable a select fire option.
[21] As designed by Colt the pins supporting the semi-auto trigger and hammer in the lower receiver are larger than those used in the military rifle to prevent interchangeability between semi-automatic and select fire components.
