Gentlemen, if I may ask you for your expertise, please.
I was searching for an RDIAS host, as I have a pair incoming. I do not possess them yet, and I have never used an RDIAS, so I am unsure of various issues. I am a bit confused about how the selector switch works on a semi auto to auto host. My understanding is that an RDIAS turns a semi auto AR into a full auto.
But on most semi autos, there is either no marking or ability to turn the selector switch to the full auto position.
I have included two photos of two of my guns, to clarify my question. The top photo is a photo of one of my M16s. Notice that the switch can be turned to point at the three o'clock position to activate full auto.
The bottom photo shows one of my semi autos. Notice that the switch is blocked from going to the three o'clock position. Do I have to mill away the piece of metal that blocks the switch from turning to three o'clock?
Do most semi autos block the selector switch like this? If you have a semi auto that doe NOT have the metal piece blocking the 3 o'clock, but it has no mark for full auto, can you still turn the switch to the 3 o'clock (this is the only semi auto rifle AR that I own).
If I get an M16 fire control group, will the M16 FCG allow me to then turn the switch to three o'clock and activate full auto, if I mill away the blocking piece of metal?
