building a full auto M16

[Rebel Rifle Ordnance]

I thought this would get your attention. I'm a new FFL 07 / SOT and I want to build a post sample M16.

Where is the best place to order a lower receiver parts kit for an M16?

Also looking for a good receiver to convert. I'm thinking Spike's since they already have the receiver marked for full auto. Any recommendations on where to order? Thanks.

I am not knowledgable in the FFL 07/SOT area at all, but can't you purchase a Colt R0921 and go from there? Rather than purchasing a lower and machining it to spec.

I know my local class 3 dealer bought a full auto post 86 Colt.

What exactly are you wanting? Stripped lowers, parts kits, both? If you have your SOT/FFL stamp/paperwork, I can point you in the right direction. PM me for details.

For the record, got the full auto lower parts kit here: http://www.mapartsinc.com/ for $90.

Now I'm looking for a lower that has the full auto markings and preferably doesn't have the shelf that will need to be milled out.

I think you can go with the older Colt Sp1 lower with out milling the lower self.

Quite a few using low shelfs nowandays. When your slapping a posts ample together, you want the cheapest mil spec-ish lower you can find. Remember, at some point you might you might have to chop it up. And chopping up a colt would suck.

Buy the m16 FCG parts from Brownells, it's like $60.00 shipped. Buy a cheap ass AR lower from AIM or PSA for $60.00. Get a auto sear hole jig for $35.00. Clamp in mill, 1/2"-3/4" bit and chop away. Engrave lower. It's VERY strait forward. Here's mine:

Whose lower is that? What do you charge for engraving? I have a couple of lowers I need engraved.

Sorry for the resurrection but who makes the best AS hole jig? I assume a Colt AS and selector and a Geissele SSF trigger would do fine. Thoughts?
