      Most guns have some simple way to convert to full auto illegally but if the talk is about preventing atrocities with bans, like the general discussion here, they are already banned.

      For AR-15s it’s not a sear though, you’re thinking of glocks which function completely differently.

          Yeah, DIAS aren't $20 or that easy to make and as such aren't as common on the black market. They are doable for someone with machining skills but for an AR a lightning link is the normal illegal conversion.

            It would be trivial to make one on a CNC machine. I would be surprised if you couldn't find the files to do it somewhere on the internet.

              It’s not super complex design but it requires multiple, small and somewhat precise pieces. Someone with enough skill could absolutely do it but there are far easier options than a sear so homemade sears aren’t something that is seen that much among illegally modified ARs.
