Here is an interesting 7-min video on a guy who sold etched on a piece of metal plate the outlines of a
Lightening Link. In essence it acts alike a DIAS (Drop in Auto Sear) but of course any made post 1986 are illegal. The ATF arrested him for selling machine gun parts. Keep in mind, these were etchings. Could a person cut the parts out sure. A person could also go to the interwize and download free of charge, a pattern which you can etch onto a metal plate. Also, if you owned a high end 3-d printer, just think of what you could do.
