Well, if you own a few parts for a FA M16, and you own an AR-15, you're OK as long as you don't have ALL the parts to convert it. There's also the issue of having to do some machining of the AR lower. Most if not all of the early AR's sold by Colt had M16 parts in them. Many of the parts will function fine in the AR-15.

Same with M1 carbine and M2 parts. I bought an M1 Carbine from DCM back in about 1965, and it had M2 slide, trigger housing, hammer, sear but no disconnector lever or disconnector or selector. Many of them were M2s that the Army pulled the minimum parts off and shipped. They were fine.

DIAS is of course another animal entirely. DIAS, legal to own, yes they are, but they require some paperwork; no paperwork, none except a Form 4.
