AR Thread

[steven]

Out of curiosity, anyone shoot service rifle? Ie what would be a AR15 that would meet the rules? I see a M16A2 with a rusty barrel, so I assume a new std (is there such a thing?) barrel is an easy and not too costly replacement? Is it hard (or even possible) to get a C re-done as an E?

Is it hard (or even possible) to get a C re-done as an E?

It used to be possible, lots of early M16s, FN FALs, G3s, M14s and MP44s were converted to semi-auto when they were first imported. Now its frowned upon and more a matter of who you know and slipping it through. Although there is nothing in the law about it and people do move pistols from C to B. But that is another matter with its own issues.
