+1 to Ridge Runner. Any FA part in a non FA weapon albeit technically is not verbotten, but if someone with "authority" decides to confiscate said weapon and litigate against you, it could get expensive. It is better to have a vanilla version of something then to be in a "grey zone" open to interpretation. If you really want to add this part on, write to the BATFE and get clarification in the form of a letter sent back to you. If they OK it, keep it with your modified toy, that way if someone with "authority" decides differently, you will have some recourse.

oh also, this might be flame bait..so let me clarify...when I said a FA part in a non FA weapon...I didn't mean things like auto sears or parts that blatantly change the weapon to a FA MG. That is obviously a huge No-No.
