It's NOT illegal. Those are ATF guidelines for company's manufacturing ARs. If you don't have enough parts to make the gun go bang more than once with one pull of the trigger, or in a condition that it can be readily adapted to do so, you are not in violation of the law.
Auto-sears are considered "machine guns" in and of themselves, so obviously that part would be a no-no.
If you possess an AR15 and the M16 fire control parts, you're breaking the law.
Many DCM shooters use the M16 carrier, including me. There's a simple reason for it. It is heavier.... it keeps the bolt locked for a tiny fraction of a second longer which reduces primer set-back and blown primers. It has nothng to do with making the gun full auto.... all the 16 carrier does in that capacity is trip the auto-sear.... which releases the disconnector....without the sear, 16 disconnector, 16 hammer, selector and trigger.... you're not gonna get more that one round off with one pull of the trgger.
The only 16 parts I own are carriers, Many many thousands of early ARs were manufactured with M16 bolt carriers.
