Can you use an M16 bolt carrier in an AR-15?

Can you make an AR-15 full auto sear?

One of the first methods of converting an AR to fire full auto is to install a part known as a Drop-In Auto Sear, or DIAS. The DIAS requires an M-16 hammer, selector, and bolt installed in the rifle. As it moves forward again, the carrier catches the top of the sear in the DIAS assembly and releases the hammer.
