The law is very clear. If your rifle fires more than one shot pre pull of trigger, you are in violation fo the law.

I'll give you that, fires more then 1 round with one trigger pull it's a machinegun......but just owning a machinegun reciver is also illegal, even if it's cut in half ......it doesn't even have to be assembled into a rifle. as for the M16 parts in a AR.....a general "concenus" or a few people saying it's OK to install M16 trigger group in a AR, is not my idea of sound legal advice....too many shit house lawyers think they know every single gun law there ever was.
in short, I would not take the advice of someone on a board saying it's OK to install it. not when there is already a memo by the ATF firearms branch
"We would advise any person who possesses an AR-15 rifle not to possess M-16 fire control component"

then there is this.....
"[i]any[/i] part designed and intended solely and exclusively,[i] or [/i]combination of parts designed and intended, for use in converting a weapon into a machine gun, and any combination of parts from which a machinegun can be assembled if such parts are in the possession or under the control of a person.

but do what you want, the last person I would take any legal advice from is some guy on a gun board who says it's OK.
I don't think that a 6 page dissusion on a gun board will be good evidence in a trial
