3 Position Selector Question

[Aftermath686]

I need to know if it would be legal to have a selector that went to the third position (auto) but the rifle was still semi auto.

Thanks in advance

i dont see why not. its not like it will magically make an automatic sear appear in the weapon. i was looking at the bcm ambi switch. were you, also?

Auto is in the middle of "safe" and "fire"?

I'm not sure of the legalities or if that counts as a fire control part? I would assume it is legal.

No I managed to acquire a KAC ambi selector that is 3 position. The BCM is good to go though I have one in my other rifle. By the way they make a semi auto one.

It go's Safe Semi Auto.


Thanks for the help Gents I was thinking it shouldn't be illegal.

NO! NO! NO!

BATF would nail you for having ANY fire control machine gun parts in your rifle. Of course, I'm assuming were talking about an AR-15. Its called "constructive posession."

dont you have to have a complete fire control group in your possession, for constructive possession? most oll's have a sear pocket, but no sear. they are not considered as constructive possession...

From what I have read any M16 FCG part is a no-no. Even just one part! Stupidity, but the term "common sense" is not in the BATF's lexicon.

ETA: See rct442 post above mine.

Never once, in my life, have I seen a semi-auto AR receiver that had a sear pocket. Every single one requires removal of material to fit a sear. And that's before drilling the hole.
