Better stock up before the BATFE bans wire coat hangers!

All that is proof of is the 86 ban should be done away with.

Love an honest warning.

DO NOT TRY THIS IN YOUR HOME

Unless you are an FFL/07 or you want ATF to come to your house and shoot your dog.

Great way to waste ammo and loose your freedom and liberty.

Does my local cleaner need to register as a dealer? 4473 required for picking up a pair of starched Wranglers?

Not interested in experimenting with that.

When I was young and dumber I did some Mac 10 mods and had suppressor parts. The ATF were not the evil Busturds portrayed by some. They were quite forgiving considering they had me by the short hairs and I was up for $100,000 fine and 10 years in prison. I did have to surrender the Mac 10. I won’t get into how the suppressor parts were dealt with.

I hope no one here will make a DIAS, it’s just not worth it.

As a student of "how things work" that is very interesting.

But I do like my dog and wife so there's that.

Care to mention what caused them to actually contact you?

From punji stake pits to IED's, to those who've fought with, or against an indigenous population on their turf, this type of human ingenuity is no surprise.

Long live the concept ...

I'm making one

Using one of those is a really good way to blow up your gun. Due to the lack of precision in making the part it could fire when it is out of battery.

A word to the wise; don't do it.

How could this part bypass the safety system built into the rifle? It is independent of the firing system.

It could release the hammer before the bolt rotates fully into the locked position. I suspect that the guy in the video knows this and that is why he was using blanks.

I am assuming that the 'safety system' that you refer to is the disconnector holding the hammer. This device pushes on the disconnector causing it to release the hammer and thus firing the rifle.

It is not independent of the firing system, it would become part of the firing system. If it weren't it would not cause the rifle to fire automatically.

Not true. It the bolt doesn't fully rotate then the firing pin won't reach the primer.

The hammer disconnect has nothing to do with firing before the bolt is locked.

I have had a trigger wear out and go full auto on me. The gun either fires in battery or doesn't fire at all depending on the speed of the hammer release among other things. Usually you get a two or three shot burst before the hammer falls too fast and stops firing with the hammer down on the firing pin.

I am definitely not saying an AR won't fire out of battery but it isn't because the hammer is falling too fast. Sorry, that's just the way it works.

Even build up of fouling in the chamber keeps the bolt open thousandths of an inch and is enough to keep it from firing.

 

[Younggun]

Yep. Bolt rotates in to the carrier about 1/8” as it locks. If it’s not locked the firing pin will be about 1/8” too short.

Yeah, you guys are right this is perfectly safe, no way for an AR to fire out of battery.
