“It had no auto sear and contained a semi-auto FCG”
Weird.
Surplussed out to the PD, I guess, and converted?
Did Colt ever make something marked M-16 with a S/S/A marked lower but only a semi FCG?

Let’s see here, what did I do with that blasted rifle? I can never seem to find the thing.

Sure it does.

If a retrohead had found it, they’d have only found a stripped lower laying on the road.

It has the pin for the auto sear. Wonder what it looks like ok the inside?

Never put anything on the roof of the car.
Put it on the hood. You will see it before you drive away.
And two chocolate milkshakes make a nasty mess when they fall off the roof across the windshield, wipers, and the hood

While patrolling a freeway in the San Jose area, I found an empty plastic handgun case on the shoulder. Didn’t even have a liner inside. Nothing else turned up during my search of the area, so no idea if it fell off with any contents.
Missed another one, due to no safe place to stop by the time I saw it under an overpass. I drove around the cloverleaf and parked, but someone ahead of me ran up and grabbed it, returned to his car and left. No idea if he was the droppee.
A beat partner found another plastic handgun case on a multi-turn on-ramp, which contained a Beretta 92. The case had a tire track across it. IIRC, it was owned by an officer of some sort. No idea if it was damaged.
The most common item left on a vehicle was a cell phone. I stopped a couple vehicles when I saw that, including one of my beat partners. Picked up a lot of them from the shoulders, and usually dropped them at the appropriate brand phone store.
I think the second most common was wallets. Unless it had a zippered money pocket, most all paper would end up blowing down the shoulder, due to the constant breeze generated by vehicle movement. Only found blown cash maybe twice.
Credit/ID cards would be distributed a short distance downwind from the wallet. The reflection from a hologram on a card is what I would first notice, usually. I would flip around to find the wallet for a starting point, and then walk the shoulder to pick up all the cards.
Wallets were mostly found along on-ramps, or shortly after they merged to the freeway.
One planner had a smashed electronic unit and $500 in a zippered pocket. His DL and other cards were still in their slip-in slots.

I thought the BATFE mantra was : once an NFA item , always an NFA item , which is why none of the surplus’d M-14s can be made semi-auto and sold to the public ?
