First off, as per the rules here, I am not advocating, nor am I looking for information on, doing anything illegal; no intent to commit a crime here. However, I have a question that may simply be due to ignorance.
I had the urge today to look up "full auto conversions" and see if it was truly the "find it on the internet 5-minutes-of-work" demon summoning process that anti-gun types claim it to be. I was also curious what an auto sear looked like, and to my interest found that it looks like an oddly shaped bit of metal that, if I found it in my garage, I'd probably sweep up and throw away.
In the course of this, I found a site (I'm sure it's not the only one) claiming to sell conversion kits for various weapons, including things like auto sears and so forth. I was under the impression that it was not legal to sell that kind of thing--or is it simply not legal to own that kind of thing, unless it was registered and transferred completely legally? In other words, how does a place get away with offering an auto sear for like, $75? Is that only legally salable to LEO/Military? Or is it all just horsepuckey junk from a "extr33m tactical" online store?
Just curious.
