Now, I'm not too familiar with the AR-15, but with the old Nato 762 SLR, I could fix that with 5 seconds and a matchstick.* I wouldn't be surprised if the AR was not much different.
* It took a little longer, and more than a matchstick, to get the damn thing to stop firing when you took your finger off the trigger.

You have to drill another hole in the receiver and use a different sear. A matchstick won't do it.

Americans and their guns... 
Anyway, condolences.
Now raise your American flag, sing The Star-Spangled Banner, and shoot that gun*!

What a very odd view of people you have. One can be an admirer of the craftsmanship involved in armaments without being required to think they should be freely available to any idiot to leave around the house or wave in the face of anyone who spills a bit of coffee on their shoes just because.
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

Awesome weapon, definitely a keep sake.
I saw on another site it was chambered 30-30...

Just got home from the store with 100 rounds (in Texas, you can buy ammo at the local grocery store).

Hadn't bought 45s in many years and had to buy some a few months back...sticker shock!

Where do you order?
Got a feeling may need to stock up.

He with the most ammo wins right?

Actually, it's "he that can use the most ammo wins"

I stocked up before everyone went crazy and started hoarding ammo. I got most of mine 100-200 rounds at a time at walmart.

I guess I better bite the bullet and stock up before Hillary gets elected and does her crazy sh*t.

Hey, man - don't be so negative. The Trump may get elected, and then you'll get 200 rounds free every week, AND time off work to practice. Worked for the English, when we kicked some French butt at Crecy and Agincourt - mandatory longbow training every Sunday, subsidized by the squire.
Actually, I sometimes wonder if that English law had some input to the Second Amendment - it was damned effective.

I am equally deadly with a bow and slingshot (and I do pretty well at casting stones, too). I mention this just in case any of the liberal serfs here dare suggest we go back to medieval weapons.

Unfortunately we can't post pics here, no matter how high our rep points might be. :/

JSOP you are so refreshingly non PC it makes for pleasant reading.
Don't think us non gun people cannot appreciate a fine piece of engineering that has been preserved so well. Do use it if the value to you is higher than the monetary value is not important. Personally I'd preserve it but then I'm not interested in firing weapons.
I hope your dad left on good terms...

What would be the first thing you do at the office when back from a 2 week vacation?
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Fill in a new vacation request form.
