![]() You would at that time be liable for a fine and imprisonment has ruled, if a weapon will fire more than one shot with each pull of the trigger, it's a machinegun.Įven though you believe you did everything right and paid the tax on the drop-in auto-sear, by putting the other M-16 parts in your AR-15, you have unwittingly manufactured an unregistered machinegun. If the bolt has not locked before the cartridge fires you will have one hell of a blast coming out the ejection port. This causes what is knows as slap fire and is dangerous. The hammer will follow the bolt forward if you hold the trigger back. NOT SO! With the necessary M-16 parts installed, if you put the selector on full-auto the disconnector will not work. With the sear removed from the weapon, you would think you once more have a legal semi-auto firearm. One last thing about using the drop-in auto-sear. If that's not bad enough, if you shpuiil lose it. to get your gun working again you must not only buy a new one for anywhere from two to three hundred dollars, you must also pay the $200.00 tax on the new one. 1981 drop-in auto-sear must be registered as a machinegun is bad news. That may sound crazy, but that's the law. If you have all of the above listed parts BUT NO GUN, under federal law you have a machinegun. 19B6 it can not be registered after that date.Īlso, for the drop-in auto-sear to work in the AR-15 you need an M-16 hammer, disconnector, trigger, selector switch, and bolt carrier. and as such is illegal, because although it was manufactured before, but not registered before midnight May 19. ![]() Of course, if you put it in your AR-15 then it is a machinegun. If it was manufactured before then, it in itself is not a machinegun. it is by itself classified a machinegun, and must be serial numbered and registered with B.A.T.F. If you buy a drop-in auto-sear that was manufactured after November 1st, 1981. The drop-in auto-sear was designed in the mid 1970's for the sole purpose of converting the AR-15 to fire full-auto (select fire). The problem's not with the auto-sear, it's with the laws governing its use They not only work, but in my experience an AR-15 equipped with a drop-in auto-sear works as well as an original government issue M-16. I don't like drop-in auto-sears! Not because they don't work, because they do.
