It takes either:
1) A 'Drop In Auto Sear' and the bolt & trigger parts from a real M16
2) A 'Lightning Link' and a Colt SP-1 bolt/carrrier assembly
-or-
3) A properly drilled out & widened reciever.
All of these item are PRESENTLY LEGAL if the item in question was registered under the NFA prior to 1986 and available for prices between $8,000-11,000, plus $200 NFA tax.
The AWB does not affect machineguns, machineguns are legal now if you pay the tax, and will be legal after the ban dies if you pay the stupid MG tax...
Oh yeah, the proces by which you pay the tax is harder/longer than finding the gun you want...
Some COLT guns have 'sear blocks' and other modifications to prevent conversion, and some bolt carriers have the area under the firing pin milled out, and the back end lightened...
But most AR-15s can be converted to full auto by the installation of M-16 parts and a DIAS or the installation of a 'Lightning Link' and a Colt SP-1 bolt carrier. Of course, if either of those items isn't properly registered before May 1986, you've got a 10yr felony on your hands...
