... I am not current with the gun laws concerning manufacturers. Of course that's a good thing, however, one has to take into consideration the number of older, used AR-15 type weapons that are available through private sellers, pawn shops, gun shows, and those weapons on the illegal market. Lots of SKS assault rifles available out there, affectionately known as the Norinco Sport Rifle. The crude instruction sheet to make the sear pin with a 2 in x 1 in by 1/8 inch thick piece of metal was specifically designated in lettering "FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY". 🥴 Not much anyone can do about those at this time.

As for the magazines, the fully enclosed limited receiver for ammunition it's something that was based on whimsy more than anything else.
