Oops...

The kicker about this is that if you got one, you are in violation of the NFA even though you did not do it intentionally and you did not even know about it.

You'd be in violation of ATF's opinion about the NFA, at any rate. From what I read elsewhere, the other receiver features that would actually allow an auto sear to be installed and operate are not present.

In other news, online instructions on how to alter the sear pin hole to full auto have gone viral. :lol:

If ATF were serious about this they'd arrest the ATF agent that approved these as accessory to the crime, and conspiracy to commit it too.
