I'm new to the RDIAS and full auto thing so bear with me for a moment.
If I was to buy an RDIAS, the RDIAS is registered not the gun, correct? If that is so, could I put it on any type of AR variant I wanted? Maybe I just dont know enough about how they work, if I had the gun setup for say 5.56 and setup for 7.62x39, or 9mm. Could I just drop in the RDIAS and have a full auto gun? Does that make sense? Of course there's things to beef up I know, I'm just curious. Seems to me the RDIAS is the best method for an AR though it cost alot more. If I had SBR's I assume those would be an NFA stamp as well. |

that's pretty much it. there are some timing issues that may need to be worked out, but yeah. people also like them because they can use and abuse the receiver, and replace it if necessary. ETA: regarding SBR's - there is no such thing as a short barreled machine gun in the eyes of the law, so you'd be able to drop your RDIAS into a standard AR lower, add a 10.5" upper, and be good to go. now, there are other issues to worry about, such as what happens when you remove the DIAS... you now have a short barreled semi auto full of M16 parts that isn't a papered MG... but that's another whole discussion. either way, most people register their hosts as SBR's to avoid the headaches. |

What are good places to find RDIAS's for sale? What are the sites that people typically list them on. The equipment exchange here doesn't typically have them. I know they're rare, but I'm sure there are places they are more frequently sold. http://www.miniuzi.com/uzifinder.php http://www.riverofguns.com/ |

Mind expanding on that? All my AR's have M16 carriers. What other parts are considered M16 beside the bolt and the RDIAS? |

Quoted: Mind expanding on that? All my AR's have M16 carriers. What other parts are considered M16 beside the bolt and the RDIAS? Trigger, Hammer, Disconnector and Selector are different. The trigger has a notch in the back, the hammer and disconnector have "tails" and the selector has some different geometry in the center section. Without this, you'll just have a semi with a useless sear. These parts are no more expensive than standard semi parts, but you shouldn't buy them til you have a registered sear... ETA:  |

What other parts are considered M16 beside the bolt and the RDIAS? if you fill up your AR with M16 parts to run it with an RDIAS, and then remove the RDIAS, you will still have a 3rd position on the slelctor that will allow the hammer to follow the bolt home. this condition will allow the gun, with certain types of ammo, to slamfire. without even getting into the discussion of "which parts are illegal and which aren't", this condition alone can and has been classified by the ATF as a "machine gun". |
