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.[22]
If a military weapon is modified for civilian use, it is a military weapon modified for civilian use.....not a trowel.
