ORIGINAL: kdsub I am not arguing...just showing people the differences between the two and why the AR-15 cannot be made fully automatic by the average joe on the street despite all you read on the internet. Butch For most AR-15's you are right but there are some where simply replacing the sear and in some very extreme cases just the safety with a selector switch will do the job. I'd assume all those older AR's are unsafely in the hands of just the sorts who I don't think should have automatic weapons. I may be wrong, but from what I have read, the parts that are pre 1984 which are legal to buy with the proper NFA paper work, will not work on current generations of the AR based weapons. And the pre 1984 AR's are hard to come by, those that have them do not want to let em go. My M1A was manufactured by Springfield armory, and while theoretically it is possible to convert, I see no reason to. I just had it set up by a gun smith like the first sniper rifle I was issued. And I do apologize for not properly labelling the M14, I was going by the current international definition of assault rifle. As for the 30-30, I did admit that I was wrong, the information I got had it listed as an Army round. There were other rounds listed on a web page about the Horse Calvary, but those are considered cowboy sport shooting rounds now, and the people that use them are not many. I am referring to the 45/40 and 44/40 pistol rounds and the 45/70 carbine round. But those were made for the military at the time and civilians, so those are debatable.
