OK, then without further discourse into the ever-changing opinions of the ATF, let's focus on the technical detail in red above.  If the selector-disconnector interaction is the specific factor involved in this problem, then would the modification of the disconnector alone eliminate the possibility?

I'm not asking about what the ATF would say or an LEO might think.  I'm looking at this solely as a technical question.
Once that single piece is changed (disconnector tail is removed) does making any of the other mods have [span style='font-style: italic;']any effect on the likelihood of a multiple-round discharge?

Yes, from a technical standpoint, removal of just the disconnector "tail" will prevent "slam fire" or bolt "follow through" to the same degree that a complete SA FCG will.

I wouldn't mind removing the sharks fin from the selector for added measure. But leave the hammer as is for the cool look factor. After all they are supposed to LOOK like the real deal.

Removing the "sharks fin" from the safety will allow your weapon to fire in the "FULL" position (but only semi automatically).  Alteration of the disconnector and NOT REMOVING the "sharks fin" from the selector will not allow your weapon to fire at all in the "FULL" position - in effect the "FULL" is then another "SAFE" position.  The "tail" on the disconnector is the most evil and dangerous part of a FA FCG.

On a positive note she still shoots just as sweet as she did when she rolled of the colts factory floor. Lol well the conglamoration of parts that became her. Also that MVP barrel is a sweet accurate shooter. The trigger is really outstanding now. Also no full auto action. Even in position 3. Colts made good quality stuff. 52 years later still laser accurate. No sight adjustments made. I mean this is best M16 trigger I have ever shot and I have shot A LOT. So smooth and great break for a stock part. I think they changes some things since the early XM rifles. Disconector are trigger dimensions must have changed. Workmanship in making parts in early 60s must have been outstanding.

Please tell me you're shooting at 25 yds.  'Cause if your rifle shoots that much better than my retros at longer ranges, I'm gonna be really disappointed in myself!

Nice targets!  Glad you've gotten to try her out!

Yes! Thanks! Probably could have put them all in that one hole if I would have taken my time. Also if you guys had a early real 1960s dimple sight screw to hook me up with. You know the only part other than the lower that isn't correct. Who knows might have put all of them on target so it looked like a single shot. Lol hint hint retro heads!

You don't know who Batman and Boywonder is come on. Everybody here knows boywonder has a side job selling all the retro guns he confiscated from villains in the 1960s-1970s. Helps raise funds for Gothams PD and city hall! The Bat Cave is where they run their operation.
