As per both the ATF and California DOJ, it is legal to complete an '80% reciver' firearm, and it is legal to build your own rifle from steel billets.
What I am looking for is, exactly 'how hard' does it have to be to convert to fully automatic before the BATF may consider it a 'machinegun?'
Ie, Glocks can fire full-auto with drop-in parts. Worn 1911s and SKSs often go full auto on their own, as do many other guns.
What I want to build is a software controled semi-automatic rifle. (similar to Remington's E-Tronix but semi-automatic action.) One would have to add code to make it full-auto. Just like one would have to add a new slider plate to a Glock 17 to make a full-auto. Or add code to the Remington E-Tronix to make it full-auto.
Any good places to start for information?
