My department wishes to 'convert' a few 16's to semi-auto only for issue to their officer. I remember seeing a blocking device that goes on the outside that prevents the selector switch from moving to full-auto. Anyone know where these can be bought or have any other suggestions for the conversion? I checked Brownells-can't seem to find it in their search. Thanks in advance. |
+1. Or just pull the auto sear and replace the FCG with semi parts. A whole lot better than some kludged hunk of metal or plastic sitting on the outside of your lower getting in the way. |
Also safer. The switch blocker was just a flat piece secured by tightening the grip screw and pinching the flat of the item bvetween the grip and the frame. It's removable in about 32 seconds, leaving you with the original select fire. If your department is serious about taking the full auto capability out of your pieces, DPMS makes a kit that rplaces all the M16 parts with the semi pieces. Your armorer can change over a given rifle in 20-30 minutes, and you'll be left w/a piece that can't be reconverted in the blink of an eye.

OWNED!!111!!!1!| If your department is really concerned with patrol officers going to FA, let them know those goofy blocks break off with very little effort. I have used M16'S with them installed before and all you have to do is bend it with your thumb and they snap off. If they want a full proof method, go with the majority of the advice and swap parts. |
