The so-called semi auto assault rifles are easily converted to full auto
with pieces and parts you can buy on the internet.

That is largely a myth, unless you have access to a machine shop.

ATF has required that receivers are made such that they are not easily
adapted to full auto since 1968. That is particularly true of ARs and
AKs. The military parts are not going to work.
It is the same way with my M1A. It would take a bit of work on a
milling machine to get it to accept the selector and associated parts.

I'll repost this link. It's a standard Ruger 10/22 that has been
converted to full auto. I've been told that the conversion is not
difficult but it's illegal to sell the parts. Instead, they sell a DVD
showing how to do it.

I've seen videos showing parts bought on the internet that convert the
semi-auto "assault" rifles into full auto.

It is on the internet, it must be true


Hell, man, there are or were instructions on making nuclear devices and
experts said some of them were damned close. Turning a semi-assault into
a full assault is chicken soup in comparison.
