Is a m16 trigger group and bolt legal in an ar15 with no sear installed or holes for the sear

Any one ? -
The full auto bolt carrier is 100% legal. What do you mean by "trigger group"? If you just mean the trigger and hammer I'd think that's fine since there's nothing there that would convert you to full auto.Oppressors can tyrannize only when they achieve a standing army, an enslaved press, and a disarmed populace. -- James Madison

The m16 bolt is fine in California. The m16 trigger group is iffy and could still be considered manufacturing a MG. An auto sear is basically a no go here. Why not just go with an AR trigger group. The M16 trigger group is designed to function best with an auto sear.Religion & Govt. will both exist in greater purity, the less they are mixed together. James Madison

I remember reading somewhere that no unique parts that make a machine gun (NFA class 3) may be installed into a semi-auto, even if all the rest are original parts and the gun does not function as full auto.
i.e. you can't put a an auto bolt for a G3 into a Hk91 even though you don't have a trigger group/ auto sear installed. or visa-versa.
I guess the ATF considers it "making" a machine gun, even if non-functional in full auto without additional parts.
NFA parts are legal to own, just don't use them to assemble a MG. Wait at least after TSHTFLast edited by JohnCCW; 01-09-2014, 7:27 PM.sigpicDon't ask how many guns I own, I lost count.

The ATF has a letter that states installation of a full auto bolt carrier group is not manufacturing a machine gun if installing that part does not make the firearm fire full auto.

Correct. The BCG has no effect on your rate of fire in terms of semi-auto vs. full-auto/select-fire.
The trigger group is something differently entirely. Even if you're missing a part to make the firearm function in full-auto/select-fire mode (the sear for example), you are still asking for legal trouble if you choose to install any full-auto/select-fire FCG components in a semi-auto firearm without the proper knowledge and paperwork.
EDIT: In fact, most companies won't even sell you true M-16 FCG components without paperwork.
DON'T DO IT!

Wouldn't it be faster and more reliableComment

What makes you think that?Comment

Faster? Faster how?
Reliable? I doubt it. At least in a semi-auto. Just buy a quality mil-spec trigger.ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕComment
