I know I know, this topic is probably taboo. I'm researching things between the AR15 and M16 for a class project. I've read about the DIAS and lightning link, but in theory, couldn't you just buy a stripped AR15 receiver, install m16 internals and bolt carrier and have an M16, even though it is uber illegal(not worth my 10yrs/250k)? When I say internals, I mean EVERYTHING, springs, trigger, selector, disconnecter... Input is much appreciated.
