Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - AR15/M16 PARTS
Posted: 12/10/2001 2:12:00 PM EDT
First let me start this question with NO !
I am not wanting to build or modify a weapon into something illegal !!!
A friend and I were wondering while looking at ebay online auction, how people are selling M16 parts.( fire control parts, etc. ) I know its illegal to have any of these parts if you own a weapon they will fit in and don't have the right license , is it illegal to sell those parts to people if they don't have the right license ?  What is the law ???
I've got coffee and a doughnut bet on this !!
 Thanks for all replies!!!

It is perfectly legal to sell these to someone with a registered gun, or to someone who didn't own a rifle they would fit in, so the sellers have no problem (remember: Sarco sold them in the first place).

According to BATF, it would be illegal for someone with an AR15 (and no registered M16) to be in possession of those parts.

What Troy said with a wrinkle:  If the parts, together, are intended solely for the purpose of converting semi to full, they connot be possesed (unless you have a stamp and they are replacement parts- and you don't have them next to a semi AR).
