I know this is not popular, but they are fairly easy, both of them, to convert if you know what you are doing. There is a difference in ease in pre-1994 and post-1994 weapons. But it was mostly the, see Feds...we are trying. Now buzz off.
Also the reality is...fire discipline says you do not mostly fire in auto...or you will run out of ammo much, much faster. Why the semi selector went into the M 16-A1 to begin with.
Of course another minor difference is how fast barrels heat up.
But for god sakes kits to convert both were for sale online for years. I have not checked if they still are, i suspect they no longer are...that open about it though. Which reminds me, why does anybody need a three round burst to bring down large game? I never really got that one. Stands to reason a well placed shot should do it...why they make zero sense unless your game has two feet.
Yup, the underbelly of this ain't nice and them kits were very popular with them militia boys.
Some of us ain't ignorant of this.
