FA replacement trigger?

[morve80]

I was just thinking the other day, I know, that's when the trouble starts...

Could a person with a registered full auto m16 take out the trigger, leave the auto sear, and drop in a enclosed flat 3lb drop in trigger? The auto sear and safety would still function the same, right? I feel that the answer would/should be obvious. I feel it is yes. But I figured I'd start a conversation in case people with more knowledge than me had ideas or opinions I didn't consider. Some would say why would you need/want to. I don't know! I don't have a machine gun. I was just day dreaming and thinking of scenarios while I was fighting this double ear infection. Lol.

Just but ear drops and cotton in left ear, have a earache this morning. I say no it won't work.

I don't believe it will work, because
The M16 trigger has a small notch cut into the far end to accommodate the M16's disconnector. Any AR15 triggers I have seen don't have this feature.

 

[morve80]

The disconnectors on an m16 and a drop in trigger are different. So that may cause an issue.

It's that extra hole in the lower that allows the auto sear that would get you in trouble.

Oh yeah. Which is why I said a person with a registered machine gun.

It finally dawned on me to google flat milspec triggers. And they make them. So really you would have no use for using a drop in trigger then. Oh well.

Oops. Missed that part...

No worries mate.

No. They don't work the same way as standard triggers. There are five parts - the trigger, disconnector, selector, sear and hammer that are different from the standard ar15 parts. They are not interchangeable... kinda.

A person with a registered, legal full auto lower could put a semi trigger, hammer, and disconnector in an M16 and make it semi auto, yes. But why...?

Who would own such horrible weapons of war.

Apparently cmc makes a full auto drop in replacement trigger. It's curved, not straight, but still, like a 3.5lb pull.
