I've posted this on another forum but can't seem to get a non-speculative answer.
Would it be possible use a registered auto sear in another application, and what would be the legal aspect of doing so?
Say someone figured out how to make an HK or AR auto sear work in an AK or an M60. Would this be legal?
I would think so since a registered sear has no caliber or barrel length or overall length requirements.
And according to BATF the sear itself IS the machine gun.
An example might be the HK sear which has been legally used in HK and non HK weapons, Rifles, Sub-Guns, Belt-Feds, G3, MP5, HK21, HK93, HK91, CETME, etc. etc.
There is also an RPD belt fed upper receiver available for the MAC11/9 which has been approved by the ATF.
Does anyone know the answer to this? Not just a speculation!
Thanks for any input!
