The article you linked offered very little useful information.
While I'm typing, I'll offer a WAG as to what those parts aren't. I don't think they are lowers because actual (or Chi-Com manufactured) M16 lower would require far to much effort for our inner-city folk to turn into a working select fire rifle.
I mean, what respectable, crack-smoking thug would possess the working knowledge of the AR15/M16 platform, much less have access to auto sears, springs, roll pins?
I'd guess the parts could be DIASs, but then what good are they if one can't mill an AR15 lower?
Can't mill a lower? Then use a Lightning Link, or even a Swift Link. But, again, using these devices will require a fair bit of mechanical and gun smithing know-how, along with armorer's tools, neither of which are generally found in your average urban environment.
Since I'm a complete dumbass when it comes to firearms, what is your expert opinion on what parts were actually shipped?
You misinterpreted me. I'm saying this isn't a nothing burger.
They look like DIAS shapes and sizes to me.
You are also caught up thinking that only cracked out gangbangers want these things. Not sure why. It fundamentally altered your take on the matter and you excluded how easy lowers are to customize.
Open the tweet, look at the photo and the size and shape are pretty informative. I'm countering the claim this is a nothing burger. Ignorance of what these parts are explains the attitude.
I thought we trusted the Border Patrol around here. At least I do.
“Assault weapons”? These are gun parts.
The fact that they don’t say which parts tells me it’s a nothing burger with a side of BS.
I'd say that's a fair assessment.
So... cheap Chinese knock off shit like usual.
If it isn't a full auto mod part, it is nothing.
We have an embargo on Chinese gun parts, so it's still a violation of that even if it's just a bunch of knockoff magpull grips.
what if they are airsoft parts?
Yep, these were probably just upper receivers, cheap chinese knockoffs, which is a violation of the arms embargo
Did you read the article though?

I suggest looking up how to turn an AR 15 full auto.
Y'all don't know weapons. Keep acting fresh while communists commit acts of war...
