Parts made by a quality manufacturer to the proper specifications will go through a better QC program than aftermarket brand X parts.
Some interesting tidbits in this thread. Learned that Joe Dlask will not make a machinegun receiver if asked. Smart man. I wonder what thoughts went through his mind when he heard the question. Wonder if he turned to someone in the shop and said something to the effect of, "You'll never believe what someone just asked if we would make?"
If an AR is assembled with a complete M-16 trigger group, and the selector is rotated to auto, the sear will not catch the hammer with the trigger pulled, and because there is no autosear, the hammer will follow the bolt carrier foreward. With soft primers, the rifle may fire. More than one shot on a single pressure on the trigger equals machinegun; doesn't have to be dependable, reliable or safe.
There was mention made of a very few commercial semi autos leaving the factory with some not often seen go faster features. This is not quite the same thing as making one up yourself. Put something together yourself, and you are responsible.
Brentn - if you want to know about legality of setting up your AR with M-16 parts, (just because you can, and only you and your closest friends will know how authentic and historic your rifle is), and you are concerned about legality, why not get a letter from the RCMP tech. centre, and find out at what point they would recommend prosecution.
