Question about AR15 being made full auto
- Thread starter JRW (QOR)

No not whatever. You are very wrong. The biggest problems in this forum are being rude and insulting to each other and people posting misinformation as facts.
There are only two ways the condition you described could happen.
One is if you installed an automatic disconnect and an automatic three position selector and then set it to automatic. This would be illegal.
Two would be a worn or broken disconnect or spring. The tail would be irrelevant. Correlation is not causation.
Your comments are unhelpful and technically misleading. Your terminology is confusing, and your knowledge of the system is very poor.
I think you would do best to skip the insulting and dismissive posts, and try to learn something.
BTW, you don't "smith" a C7. Only a CF Weapons Technician Land is qualified to repair that weapon system, and you are not. Building franken-guns without any formal training also does not qualify you as an expert.

This is like arguing with my wife
I am Specifically talking about a tailed disconnect or and f/a selector but no auto sear.
Re-read your post and ask yourself who is being rude and condescending? Mod or not: you are the rude one.
And I find your assesent of my experience downright insulting. You consider me to be lying there fore I am wrong, inexperienced or whatever. Fine. Others know better but I am done with this thread and am going to rethink my overall participation level on cgn if this is how mods are encouraged to interact with the community - levelling insults and accusations.

Silly question, but can the AR-15 cook off? Can it get warm enough for that? I know the AR-10 had issues with that but would the .223? I know the answer is probably avaliable on the interwebs, but we seem to have someone who knows what he is talking about here. Also can cook off occur before the round is completely chambered?
I have yet to make any insults or accusations. My posts speak for themselves. Feel free to use the post report button.
You may want to review the firearms act. Installing a full auto disconnect and an automatic selector will absolutely cause the firearm to fire a burst.
Making automatic firearm
102. (1) Every person commits an offence who, without lawful excuse, alters a firearm so that it is capable of, or manufactures or assembles any firearm that is capable of, discharging projectiles in rapid succession during one pressure of the trigger.
If you have done this it is illegal. There is no reason to install those parts into a restricted AR15 in Canada.

Yes.
It takes several hundred rounds fired on full auto and changing. While I suppose it is possible in a semi, it is very unlikely.
It is more likely that the round will cook off with the bolt closed, but it is possible to imagine a situation where the round is chambered and the bolt not fully forward cooking off.
I have only seen this once.

Agree 100% on this. I thought you were argueimg that this would not result in burst? This is exactly the condition NEA had on the first test guns that caused them to change their lpk design and exactly what caused me to destroy my tailed disconnextors and install ar15 versions.
And yes, illegal and technically a malfunction when no auto sear is there to delay hammer release.
Now that we are all on the same page, let's put this back on track.
There are two things preventing a Semi-Auto AR15 from being EASILY converted to full auto:
1) It is illegal, as above.
2) There are a number of different parts. A semi-auto lower will not accept an auto sear. Modifying the lower receiver is possible, but not simple and destroys the anodizing. And it's illegal.

Those in charge can't even tell you what a semi-auto is, let alone how the firing mechanism of an AR-15 works.
This is true. However, if we went with some peoples definition of "easy", then there are many, many semi autos that are "easy" to convert. I shall refrain from naming examples, but I think you know what I mean.
