Possesion of automatic weapons parts

OP was asking for a friend I am sure

But it seems to me ( a rank amateur) that to use all those mil spec FA parts you have to drill two holes in the top part of your lower. And if I remember it correctly you can get in a world of legal **** just for the presence of the two extra holes in the lower.

Yep

So what if someone -- definitely not me! -- has a completed AR pistol with overall length of less than 26", and they also have a vertical fore grip but it's NOT mounted and just sitting in a drawer someplace. Could they be prosecuted for constructive intent of an AOW?

I'm not a lawyer...but I wouldn't go around giving the BATFE any excuses:

True but this shows how idiotic NFA and BATFE can be, as for BATFE kidding @ you guys being idiots....

Well, a guy had a mint condition Ruger Mark II BLUE slab side at the gun show awhile back. They only made about 1500 of these total, so for me, this was an automatic weapon. So, since he sold it and I was more than compelled to buy it, I guess I am now in possession of an "automatic weapon" to be added to my collection!

They'll get you when they want to at their leisure. They'll "find" kiddie porn on your computer too.

REALLY? They LOOK for that stuff? Freakin' perverts!

Buy a machine gun. Problem solved.

I would post that in a much more hypothetical manner.

I did mean hypothetically, I only own legal weapons. I have seen things on Gunbroker as well, but I would not buy any full auto parts period because of possibility of intent. Any comments on the Fostech rifles I have seen on Classic firearms with the echo trigger. To me it is about shooting guns and having fun legally.

Thanks to everyone for confirming what I thought!!
