To me, it seems that jailing someone for having some machine gun part,
that work fine in an AR-15's, is kind of like throwing a man in jail for
rape because he has a penis. Or giving everyone a speeding ticket
because their car is capable of speeding. Crazy!

To clarify, it is not any M-16 parts, it is 5 specific parts, mostly the
trigger group and the bolt carrier.

When installed in an AR receiver it can be easily converted to full auto
with a drop in auto sear. At that point it comes under the NFA definition.

Luckily, you are able to adapt the M-16 parts to legal.

Personally, I would pitch out and replace the selector lever and bolt
carrier as they would be a pain in the ass to adapt. The rest would involve
grinding the hook off the hammer, welding up the end of the groove in the
trigger and cutting off the projection on the end of the disconnector.

I have an AR-15 lower parts kit, that's the parts I plan to use in the lower
receiver.

The M-16 bolt carrier is supposed to be legal to use in an AR-15. AR-15
bolt carriers are the most difficult to find part now AFAIK.

However, Roger, if I were you, I would spend less time trying to scam the
NFA and more time trying to figure out how to get your tools out of your
mother's garage.

My machine tools are in my garage at my other house where my mother lives.

Scam the NFA? The M-16 bolt carriers are legal, some AR-15's came with
them, other parts are questionable. The auto-sear is the only part I know
of that has no use in the semi-auto rifle and it doesn't fit an AR-15
receiver according to M-15 versus AR-15 blueprints.

I'm pretty sure it would be easier to make a full auto modification to an
AR-15 than it would be to convert it to an M-16.
