"Three months ago, a deranged man walked into Sandy Hook Elementary with a weapon of war," he said. "Let's get this straight. This is not about anybody's constitutional right to own a weapon. For all those who say we shouldn't and can't ban assault weapons - for all those who say the politics is too hard, how can they say that?... When you take a look at those 20 beautiful babies and what happened to them? And those six teachers and administrators?"

The biggest mass killing in a school didn’t use any guns.

The drop in auto sear works about the same as a LL. But we are talking apples and oranges. It does not make an AR an M-16 it just convert the AR to full auto without selective fire.
As I said all modern AR receivers have the pin holes in a different location than the modern M-16’s do. The spacing is different and I believe one of the pins is larger. You can not take a M-16 parts kit and put it in an AR receiver and make it work without filling in the pin holes, using a template and re-drilling the holes. The same goes the other way around too. The parts kits do not interchange.

The bottom line here is that you can turn any AR15 into a select fire weapon.

Have you ever heard of an "80% lower receiver"?

An 80% lower is not a fully built AR receiver and therefore has no serial number. It is just a hunk of metal in the eyes of the law so it is legal.

You drill your own original holes yourself and build the gun.

There was no such thing as ar-15in Vietnam. There was an “ ensure item “ called the car-15. This was a short barrel, full automatic like the m-16. It had a crappy buffer. The weapon barrel pulled high and left when fired on auto. It was never issued. Yes, I have fired it

I have 4 more on order along with a new CNC mill. I'm wondering which will get here first. I'm a smith and to be a smith you have to be a pretty fair machinist.
