lever from rotating to the full-auto position. These are the M16s and the department does NOT want officers to move the selector to the full-auto position. The last one I saw was a plate that (IIRC) was attached to the rifle between the grip and the lower receiver with a dog-leg that blocked the selector lever movement. Some company made thousands of these but I can't even find a photo of one now.

PS - I said I couldn't find a photo and then I found this one.
