Nice cherry picking:

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.[22] Using a portion of the select fire parts in a semi-automatic rifle will not enable a select fire option.[23] 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.[24]

**** imbecile. 

It's YOUR **** citation, and it isn't "cherry picking".

Now answer the questions.
 

 

You did not use the entire citation.

Let me point your attention here:

Do you note the word CIVILIAN?  

And I point your attention to here as well:

THat means you can not take the parts from an M16 that make it a battlefield weapon and place them into a Sporter that is NOT a battlefield weapon.

Plus, the point is moot because as far as today's non battlefield semi automatics those part won't work.
