Your Bushmaster ACR could be a machine gun?
« on: October 15, 2010, 11:14:49 AM »
Bushmaster put out a recall notice today on all ACR rifles. Doesn't this mean that all ACRs could possibly be machine guns?

I am petty pissed about this because I bought  a used one while I was taking a shooting class in Texas last month.  So much for Asymmetric Guns! Dang it, should have waited a couple of years instead of listening to my inner voice.  Oh well!  Free CLASS III rifle if you ask me.  Just my opinion.

It takes a standard AR FCG doesnt it?  If so swap out with a LMT or CMT trigger kit, or pony up for Geissele SSA.

After reading more floating around the intarwebs, most people are reporting third-hand reports of two or three shots coming in conjunction with softer commercial primers. Not that great and hard to predict :P
