(15,374 posts)Well, it's nowhere as "easy" as some people claim. (And I'd like to see a citation to such.) Such conversions are also generally quite dangerous to the user, as the fire-control mechanisms are usually very failure-prone. (At least the ones I've actually heard of.) Oddly, we don't hear about such items used frequently, or even infrequently, in crimes. If you know of any, please present them.
As an aside, if you have the tools and training to convert a semi-auto to a full-auto, you're equiped to make a full-auto from scratch.
Regardless of all that, just having the parts available is a Federal crime. Hell, they put people in jail for have a firearm malfunction to full auto due to wear or breakage. They don't sell "kits" at gun shows, or through the internet.
