gubsmithing .22 v .223

You know, the replacing the trigger upgrade on the 10/22 was harder than doing the whole lower assembly for an AR...

Of course, I had MBtGE telling me his pitfalls when he monkeyed with HIS AR.  I did the 10/22 solo. It makes all the difference.   Didn't even have an instruction book.

My lower has a 3-position safety marked.  In case I ever want to make it a machine gun.  "Safe - Semi - Engage!"  One thing I noticed, there are only 2 detents on the safety switch.  If I had a full-auto sear I'd need to upgrade the safety, too.  One with that detent for a third position.  It's always something.

    And machine out the lower to fit the new sear, and drill a new hole in JUST the right spot... ;)

    Through the NFA magic, the safety becomes a selector!

    You can demill auto selectors if you really want to have the third position. Just grind off the cam that would depress the leg on an auto disconnect and even ATF is happy. You get SAFE-SEMI-SEMI for function.

    the key to all gunsmithing tasks is to find the youtube video first. It's how I reassembled the ruger mark 2

You can always offend hippies in the comment section. Chances are, those will be held up as a proper example...
