Safety only.
Unless the bolt carrier can readily convert your AR to FA (it can't), then there is nothing illegal about it's placement in your rifle. Especially given your mods. |

Very clean lines. You did that by hand? Ever try a 80% receiver? I need to find some friends close by that's very good with this sort a thing.

Thanks, I removed the material on a surface grinder with the carrier bolted onto a 1-2-3 block. I have thought about doing an 80% receiver, but I haven't gotten around to it. I am far from being a real machinist/toolmaker,(actually I am a professional spring maker) but I work with some really talented people that are willing to help me along the way with some of the trickier parts..... like the magwell. One of these days. |

And I have checked the batf on this, and you are mistaken. No flame, just wanted my remarks to be clear (just like the federal code section on this issue is).

My question regarded whether or not the firing pin had to be unshrouded for it to be legal. As far as removing metal to bring an NFA part into spec is legal or not, check the disconnecter in your rifles. I know that both of my Bushmasters have what appear to be M16 disconnecters that have the tails ground off. |

The firing pin doesn't need to be un-shrouded to be compliant. You will find some AR15 carriers that do not have this done to them.
