I was under the impression it was still legal. A few of my SOT friends do it on Class III items regularly. Obviously that doesn't mean it's illegal, but I wasn't aware anything was officially changed.Originally posted by DOHCTR View Post"When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

Ruger will service the AC556, they just would prefer not to.Originally posted by DOHCTR View PostYes, production of the AC556 stopped around 2005. Also, according to the interwebs, Ruger will no longer service them as of 2010-
And I believe the ATF said that destroying an old gun and re-serializing a new one counts as manufacturing a new machine gun.
On my gun, all the parts are almost identical to the 180 series mini-14.
My trigger group has a couple extra parts, the stock reinforcement is wider, the receiver is almost identical except for the rear portion that houses the selector.
I havent tried it, but I think I can take a standard mini bolt and it will fit.
Last year (2011) ruger replaced the bolt, firing pin and extractor in mine. (free of charge)
If you want a machine gun that theres a ton of parts for, get a M2 Carbine.Comment

Atf put a stop on putting old serial numbers on new guns when olympic was doing this for repairs on their m16s. It is illegal to make a new machine gun and put a destroyed registered guns info on it.Comment
