Well that didn't take long.

Full auto?  Sounds like a feature, not a bug...

Until the po-po comes calling

Wonder if Bushmaster'll send a hat back with it.  'Cause that makes everything alllll better.

How about just two of their normal AR's instead?
FQ13 sorry Kilo, couldn't help it

FN's FS 2000's with June and July 2006 dates on the box did that too.

My M&P 15 decided to double and triple fire in the middle of a run and gun rifle stage at our local club. Folks were coming up and telling me how quickly I was engaging targets.

The  pin holding the trigger assembly worked loose  and when things got out of square the gun would continue to fire if you just caught the link. Fixed it about 10 seconds.

Not fun when it happens by accident.

I would apply a juduious amount of super glue to hold that sucker in place. then call S&W about a fix before  the wrong people (were here to help) find out about it.

The pin needs to come out if you want to clean the trigger assembly. But your point is valid now that we live in the nanny state.

Either the pin or the hole (or both) are probably out of spec. I'd send it back to S&W or invest in some KNS anti-walk pins or buy oversized pins and fit them.

A good friends HBAR was damaged in a house fire, all but the lower had to be replaced,; long and short, it was sent to a smith for complete rebuild. The range test was quite exciting as it went into "burst" mode.

Nice at a private range, but wanted to go "full" auto as it heated up. ......

It went back to the smith to "cool" the thing off and keep it civilian.

As KPR posted,...our nanny state makes us go through hoops for rifles with a "happy switch", but if we buy one that does it on its own, .....time to send it back.
