If new receivers were legal, you would see a volcano of full auto enthusiasm erupt. Right now, it's just the same old tired guns being passed around - as they wear out and disintegrate, no more will be available.I don't buy the premise.
Legal or illegal, a market will develop for something if people really want it.

Other than stupid criminals, who would risk an easy 10-year prison term to play with a full-auto rifle?
The "market" for (illegal) full auto probably does exist. And they probably go for pennies on the dollar due to this threat. A cop M16 might go for $500 (to government agencies only), a civilian-transferrable for $10,000, and a stolen one maybe for $100 on the street, by my guess.
