Isn't there some law or regulation where museums have to deactivate their guns on display? Or is that just a policy most museums adopt?

It is a policy that most museums adopt for a whole bunch of reasons. Insurance, theft prevention, licensing and storage requirements, and so on and so forth. Museums can have live weapons, but the Museum must be licensed, their weapon curators with access to the firearms must be licensed, the museum must be suitably alarmed, the displays may have to be individually alarmed and/or constructed in such a manner that the firearms cannot be easily removed, and so on and so forth, ad-nauseum. At that point, it is almost worth housing your entire museum inside of a walk-n vault...
 
Displays are generally dewatted. A main vault out of sight might have functional relics. I have seen horrible weld jobs. Some displays are inaccurate. I had to tell a curator that a Yugo M-56 isn't an MP-40.
 
I can help you out with 3 of your 4 ARs....

It's a bit more advanced than the full-length M16A2, but here's a clone of the C8 Flat-Top Heavy-Barrel (C8FTHB) that I carried in Afghanistan in 2008:

Along with a few others (Colt Canada C8, Colt USA LE-901, HK MR223, Fightlite MCR Belt-Feed, Aero Pistol-length .300 Blk)

As usual bartok5 your taste and collection are top notch, god damn those are ###yšŸ˜
 
I knew I should have grabbed one of those Fightlites when Wolverine had em in stock. (Even with the 5rd limit)
First the "no belt fed for export" rule by the US then came down the ban. This gun and the Sig MCX are two of my biggest AR regrets on not buying.

Probably lucked out on the fightlite, heard they're pretty prone to parts breakage and with the US enforcing no export of belt fed parts.

Even if you could shoot it, its a paperweight in waiting. Still very cool tho.
