Not even in checked luggage?  I've brought knives back in checked luggage not too long ago. When I visited Alaska, I bought several knives made there and just packed them in my regular checked luggage.  Of course, you can't carry on any of that stuff, though. Or, heck, just go to a store in NY and buy some stainless steel pens!  Even more fun.

I have already setup a care package to be sent to the hotel and should be ready when i get there. Stainless steel pens and a handy little swiss-army-knife-like item. Probably a bit too paranoid but better to be safe. Besides, I am a damn hobbit.. 5'4" and 140 lbs. I have convinced my nephew to not have a backpack on when we are out in the city for fri-sun. If I had a fourth day, i would find a way to get to West Point but that is not the case.

I know I did respond.  No, it doesn't install in the trigger assembly.  The lower receiver needs to be drilled, and the part pinned in place.  It acts like a trip - causing the hammer to drop when the bolt carrier closes.  What you described would cause a slam fire at best, but wouldn't really work to make a rifle fire reliable in full auto.  The one exception to this are open bolt guns, which use a lip on the bottom of the bolt face sort of as a timing device, instead of an auto-sear.

OK...thanx.  I'm not a gun smith and have no need for a fully automatic gun. But the government has fully automatic guns and that's what the 2nd A. addresses.

Power is corrupt...and absolute power is absolutely corrupt.  The dems are trying their best to make that point while lying about it.

27 CFR 179.11: MEANING OF TERMS

The AR15 auto sear is a machinegun as defined by 26 U.S.C. 5845(b). ATF Rul. 81-4 [Status of ruling: Active] The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms has examined an auto sear known by various trade names including “AR15 Auto Sear,” “Drop In Auto Sear,” and “Auto Sear II,” which consists of a sear mounting body, sear, return spring, and pivot pin. The Bureau finds that the single addition of this auto sear to certain AR15 type semiautomatic rifles, manufactured with M16 internal components already installed, will convert such rifles into machineguns. The National Firearms Act, 26 U.S.C. 5845(b), defines “machinegun” to include any combination of parts designed and intended for use in converting a weapon to shoot automatically more than one shot, without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger. HELD: The auto sear known by various trade names including “AR15 Auto Sear,” “Drop In Auto Sear,” and “Auto Sear II,” is a combination of parts designed and intended for use in converting a weapon to shoot automatically more than one shot, without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger. Consequently, the auto sear is a machinegun as defined by 26 U.S.C. 5845(b). With respect to the machinegun classification of the auto sear under the National Firearms Act, pursuant to 26 U.S.C. 7805(b), this ruling will not be applied to auto sears manufactured before November 1, 1981. Accordingly, auto sears manufactured on or after November 1, 198

Nice find on the AR15 auto-sear. The one I posted about is for an FN FNC.  Yes, you can modify the lower receiver by drilling a hole in it to install the registered auto-sear.  You can do this in an FNC, because only the FNC upper receivers are the serial numbered part, making the upper receiver the "gun". So ATF will allow mods to the lower receiver to accept the FNC sear.

BTW, the bolt carrier needs to be modified as well or it won't work.  All legal, as long as the autosear is registered.
 

 

I didn't know what weapon it went to until I did a google search of the pic.  As I said above that is beyond my knowledge.  I know such things can be done by people who know what they are doing but I am not one of them.  I did know that some parts and pieces are classified as machine guns.

No, it's installed in the lower receiver.  It trips the hammer hammer sear as the bolt carrier shuts, making it a true auto sear and not turning it into a slam-fire rifle.

OK...thanx.

That most certainly is a machine gun, Dummy Xavier.  It is not just a part that allows a rifle to be used as a machine gun. 

ATF Rul. 2008-1
These =20pxsears were required to be registered in the NFRTR as machineguns because they are parts designed and intended solely and exclusively for use in converting a weapon into a machinegun.

Hey dude...I took a guess at yer question about how that gadget works but never heard from you...here was my response.


Maybe it's installed in the trigger assembly to prevent it from requiring the trigger be pull every time...it rolls passed that function? ​​​​​​​

It's not like I needed to look up what this sear is for.  I already know about this - I just had to  find a photo of it. Come on, take a guess!  About all that can happen to you is you might be wrong and I might chuckle, or cry indifferently or something like that.

This gun part, called an auto-sear, is a legal machine gun, if it was registered pre-1984.



And, while you could illegally make one of these with a bench grinder and a drill, none of you would ever likely be able to figure out how to "make it work".  Question is, do any of you gun nuts know which gun this is for?  And, how can it be installed into a modified receiver if machine guns can't be manufactured (for civilian ownership) after 1984?

Hint - this is a tricky one to answer.

I'd like to see that math.  Should be relatively simple geometry, or trig. Two event horizons intersecting.  Two black holes rapidly approaching each other and eventually colliding - you might not get sucked into either black hole right away, but you won't be able to pull away from the intersecting event horizons either.  You will be stuck there until the masses finish colliding and then you'd be finished.

well i have skimmed it before but it involves a lot of advanced physics stuff I am just not familiar with. No, it is not simple. I couldnt find it on an immediate google search but here is related content: https://phys.org/news/2021-11-apparent- ... holes.html

here is the salient sentence: " when binary black holes merge, apparent horizons vanish by merging with other horizon-like structures." ...thus theoretically you could enter then escape an event horizon.

this could be the secret to the formation of quasars, and would explain their odd jet stream (a quasar could simply be the result of merging supermassive black holes, and the collapse of the event horizon causes the mass to be ejected out of the poles)

the interesting thing is that it involves some paradoxes. like...according to some einstein equations the fact you could escape event horizons means you experience negative time....so the equation itself suggests that this could be a way to travel backward in time...although i would suggest this is a philosophical impossibility

If I had my way, I would go to war with Mexico and China over what they have done to our Citizens through addictive chemicals.  As far as I'm concerned, this is a form of chemical warfare.  I'd give one stern warning to Mexico - keep you drugs, your gangs, your **** out of America.  That's it then I'd start by wiping out all of Mexico, making it look 10x worse than Ukraine. And then, if necessary, I'd plow into China next.

I'm not a Libertarian.  Never will be and never will cede America's chemical addiction to Mexico, China or any other stinking country.  No more Mexicans - the World will get the message.

I'm not a libertarian either - but I AM a moralist (yet also a pragmatist), and a person generally inclined to respect the views of the Founders.Libertarians are mostly too stupid to understand that they even HAVE a regulatory interest to delegate. Nor do they have the least idea about the actual thoughts of the Founding generation. The retards cannot wrap their heads around the concept of Eminent Domain, and believe that **** zoning laws are communist.  

The notion that "Mexico" - whatever that even means to you - is responsible for America's drug problem is rife with irony and not very deep at all. TBH, I consider the view downright cartoonish. The American deep state CREATED the Mexican drug cartels. Obama ARMED the cartels. That IS a war against Mexico. We have **** Mexico seven ways from Sunday. And you wanna blame THEM? How would you feel if you learned that the Mexicn government was arming AMERICAN drug gangs? Sending weapons to the crips and bloods?

Forget I asked - I don't want to cause an emotional breakdown by you even contemplating it. 

The CIA created crack, created the bloods, created the crips - trained them to make and distribute crack. The DEA and the CIA run the Mexican cartels. It is the POLICY of your government that kids should get drugs in their schools. It was colleges in the 60s, high schools in the 70s, jr. highs in the 80s, and then in the 90s, they started giving out amphetemines to elementary school children and arresting parents who dared to call childhood by its name, instead of calling it A.D.D. and doping it.

POLICY.

Policy that YOU support. And then blame **** Mexico.
