Looks like you're missing some roll pins, otherwise, that's it. As far as owning them, eh, that's up to the local ATF agent on whether they want to cost you lots of money in court, technically, it should be OK, but ....
There is a guy who used to make a unit that attached to your stock so it looked like you had all the parts, but it was completely non-functional.
Of course, if you have a legal M14/M1a with the proper paperwork its no problem at all!
With the dummies, some individuals have reported that some individuals experienced peace officers checking up on the guns when they saw them in use on a range. i understand the desire to be "authentic" but why bring attention to yourself?

It's completely legal. Even with all these parts, there's no way to convert an M14-clone to auto (unless you have the skill to add a lug to the bottom of the receiver). I don't know anyone skilled enough to do the job who is stupid enough to do so.
The fellas with the bulges in the cheap suits have made specific rulings on the M2 carbine parts kit, as well as certain FCG parts for M16-clones. But, there has never been a problem with the M14 parts.
Having said that, I'm with the guys who believe we should avoid even the appearance of something illegal.
I was stupid enough back in '84- but we got the paperwork first! Can't do it now, of course. I had never done one before, but a friend wanted a select fire M14 thing, so.... Still works after all these years, from what I heard last.
The proper approval took less time then than transfers do now. (????)
I'd agree that it might be unwise to install a dummy kit on a bedded match rifle since one doesn't want to disturb the bedding, etc. if asked by an LEO to show it isn't a select-fire rifle but otherwise it only takes about 5 seconds to show that the kit is attached to the stock, not the receiver. Law enforcement folks aren't our enemies, many of them are as like-minded as any of us and appreciate a nicely-done M14 clone. If you show up at most ranges with one you're going to attract attention anyway. If you're a collector of USGI arms you might like your M1A to look as historically accurate as possible in an original, nicely cartouched USGI stock. JMOQuote:
