Having the parts to turn a semi auto AR to a FA AR with out the proper paper work is a problem. The ATF is big on "constructive possession", even if the parts aren't installed having them in the same place as the gun means that as far as the ATF is concerned, they are installed.
If you have an AR lower, with nothing installed, and a 14.6 inch barrel in your safe, also not installed, and a complete 20 inch AR, there is a possibility of a constructive possession charge.
When you say parts, do you mean a registeredDrop in auto sear (DIAS), a lighting link, or lower? At this time, you cannot convert any semi auto AR into a FA, unless you use something that is already on the National Registry (A DIAS, Lightning Link or lower)
