i think some of it might have been just to see how i would react
maybe they had a local list maybe not.
But what you must understand
in that area
there is tons of dope growers meth cooks
and alot of crime for the small area
so they keep the eyes out for anything
Just north of where i was is aDEA 5 state task force for drugs

Your "park ranger" knew about as much about ARs as you do about spelling and grammar. Most people, ESPECIALLY LEO's and park rangers wouldn't know the difference between an M16 part or an AR15 part unless it was engraved in bold, capital letters on the part.
And, just how did he "check" it to see where it came from. Unless there was a local list of stolen guns, which is reasonable,there is no way on earth he could have been able to run a check on any system to "see where it came from". Unless in KY they have a "master gun list" that has every owner of every weapon and its source on computer!! Not.
Like has been said before, M16 parts in ARs are quite normal, and very legal, to a point.
