I think very few gun owners know the difference between a FRT and a machine gun. Especially when you just hear BRRRT one lane over.
The RSO probably didn't care to know either did the fudd thing.
I'm guessing the ATF/Met Police raided him cause someone reported a machine gun at the range.
Our lawyer friend crying wolf only posted the first page of the charging document. The last thing that page says is they got a warrant for his electronic devices.
Who knows maybe he was printing Glock switches and other actual machine guns. Until we get that whole document, and see what they are charging him with, it's kind up in the air.
I think the ATF is trying to fuck over a nobody to set court precedent on FRTs being machine guns. They went up against Rare Breed's lawyers - and that proved difficult.
And since they appealed the N.D. Texas case but went to settlement, that N.D. Texas ruling only stands in that district.
The big thing in question is whether he's getting charged under the VA "Trigger Activators" Law:
None of this changes that The TURD, the SuperSafety, The TX22 FRT, and the FRT15 all comply with federal statute to the letter. The trigger is forced back, and requires a user input to fire again. Only one bullet per trigger pull.
Yeah so it definitely seems like it's "wiggling" out of spec. Is your upper trimmed properly? Nothing preventing the lever from forcing back enough?
If you try a fresh trigger, I'd trim it with a little bit more left than usual. So that you have more area for the cam to push on earlier in the rotation.
My guess would be that the trip isn't moving the lever far enough.
You can rotate the cam by hand. And the slack range would change based on the initial position. The big question is if it's in a functional position when you install the upper, does it fully return to that functional position after cycling.
If not you'd only get a round or two off before it shifts.
