I am relaying this question to the FiringLine for a friend of mine, because honestly I could not answer his question.
What is the limit, (if any at all) that you can legally modify a fully automatic m-16 (or liken machine gun). Can you have a paint job done on it, have it gun-smithed to accept modern day rails, sights, (Eotech ex), new types of titanium suppressors . . . you know "the works" with all the bells and whistles available to normal, modern semi-autos.
Is it legal at all to do this, and if it is to what extent can these kinds of modifications be made? Is there a legal limit of any kind?
(Just FYI I do not condone the idea of modifying such historical weapons in this manner but I did tell that friend of mine that there is no question on this earth about guns that the good people of the FireLine can't answer so mabey some out there can prove me right . . .)
