I just have a general question about the AR-15. Is it possible to make these things fire automatically or in burst mode? People at my work are asking me but I don't know the answer? I think I saw something once that said it's not possible only an M16 can do that. If that's the case, I thought the AR and the M16 were basically one in the same. Thanks you all for your time. Sincerely, Jeff |

Asking a political question? I'll give a political answer: No, it is not possible without an extensive machine shop and/or some very expensive and strictly controlled parts. The AR is no different than any other weapon - they can be converted illegally or legally. If one were to do it illegally, then I wish them a nice visit to the federal pen. |
It is going to cost a lot, and require some paper work from the BATF. Other than that, you better check the Class 3 forum over here: ARFCOM MG FORUM |
| They can not be converted legally in MI; we are a Curio and Relic only Class III state; that means the only MGs we can own were ones manufactured before a certain date, which I can not recall off the top of my head. In any case, they still must have been registered before the 1986 ban, otherwise you're looking at a lot of prison time and $$$$ fine. |
