EagleArmsHBAR,
What did you have to do to get the selector switch to turn to "auto"? Modified full auto selector, or something else? "The retro deal pic of the rifle I built Dad for Christmas 2007:" http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg141/dab969/DSC05767Smallintok-1.jpg I'm looking at doing the same thing for an upcoming build. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks, Lee |

Easiest way to do that is to get an actual M16 selector and mill the extra tine off.
I've done this with several selectors. I tried to modify a semi selector by adding the cutout for the selector detent and it didn't work very well. Much easier to modify M16 parts into semi parts! |
