A few notes: before November, 1981, BATF did not consider the drop-in AR-15 Accessories sear to be a machine gun in itself, because you had to replace all the internal parts with M-16 parts, as well as install the sear, and thus it didn’t convert the AR by itself. However in ATF Ruling 81-4, BATF changed its mind about what a thing had to do in order to be a conversion part, grandfathered all AR sears made before the ruling, and decided all made after that needed to be registered. HOWEVER, the fact that the sear itself, if made before 11/81, and sold through ads in Shotgun News to this day (they sure made a lot of ‘em back then, or maybe not) is not required to be registered, DOES NOT mean you may install it in an AR-15 Accessories, or even possess it with an AR-15 Accessories rifle. Either scenario is a machine gun also, and also needs to be registered. Except of course you cannot register it anymore, and thus it is just a millstone, waiting to send you to a federal prosecution. And that exact scenario has been the basis for many prosecutions.

Magpul Industries

Magpul Industries Corporation is a firearms accessories and complete firearms designer and manufacturer based in Erie, Colorado in the United States. Magpul Industries takes its name from its first product, an accessory for US and NATO armed forces STANAG magazines that aided users in pulling the magazine out of its pouch, hence "Magpul". Magpul primarily designs, manufactures, and distributes accessories for the AR-15 and M16 platforms. Magpul recently has expanded into the area of complete firearms design.

[edit] Firearms Accessories Magpul CTR stock, PMAG and rail protectors in use on a M4 Carbine in Iraq * MagPul – Magpul’s first and eponymously named product was a simple soft polymer sleeve based on the "paracord loops" that experienced soldiers fabricated and taped to their magazines to allow for easier removal from magazine pouches. The original magpul fit over STANAG magazines, and allowed for operators to easily grasp and draw magazines from pouches and webbing under stress. * Enhanced Self Leveling Follower – an improved magazine follower * PMAG magazine – an enhanced magazine specifically designed for the M4/M16/AR15 platform, featuring an all polymer, high strength body and anti-tilt follower. As it is designed for the AR platform they will not fit properly in most other STANAG type rifles (ex. FN SCAR, IMI TAVOR, BAF SA80). * EMAG magazine – a modified version of the PMAG designed to fit all STANAG type magazine wells.

First introduced to the public at the 2007 SHOT Show, the Magpul Masada began as an evolutionary upgrade to the AR-15/M16 rifle, but the only parts that retain commonality with the standard AR-15 and M16 rifle is the barrel, fire control group (trigger pack), and front sight post.[1][2] In January 2008, the design of the Magpul Masada was licensed to Bushmaster Firearms International and the production version of the Masada is known as the Bushmaster ACR.[3] [edit] Magpul Massoud Currently in development, the Magpul Massoud is a 7.62mm caliber semi-automatic rifle. The prototype has been test fired, and strongly resembles the Magpul Masada[4]. However, there are few details concerning the operating system and magazines the Massoud will be using. [edit] Magpul PDR Main article: Magpul PDR The Magpul PDR is a conceptual 5.56mm caliber personal defense weapon which utilizes a bullpup design principle. The weapon uses STANAG magazines and fire the same type of ammunition as the M16. The purpose of the Magpul PDR is to better arm support personnel who would normally carry M9 pistols without adding any strain to current armed forces logistics with proprietary ammunition. [edit] Magpul FMG-9 Main article: Magpul FMG-9 Magpul designed a folding 9mm submachine gun similar to the ARES FMG which was first publicly unveiled at the 2008 SHOT Show. The prototype unveiled by Magpul utilized a Glock pistol as the core of the weapon.[5]
