I’m freaking out right now. I bought an AR off Armslist and the guy only had one review. He seemed really shady in our telegram messages and has since deleted the account / blocked me on there. It was a decent price for being brand new and I just really wanted a semi-auto rifle without much hassle, so I went with it. Anyways I met him in a Lowes parking lot for the transfer, pretty standard stuff, and everything checked out. I handed him the money and he transferred possession of the rifle to me.
I brought it home and then a few days passed before I had free time again. This afternoon, I brought it to my local outdoor range. Loaded mag, inserted it, and fired. And fired again. And again. With one trigger pull.
Before I could process anything, my heart started pounding and adrenaline was pumping through my veins. Everyone at the range was looking at me exactly the way you would expect. I packed up my shit and bolted out of there immediately, because I wasn’t about to get questioned about a license or reported to the cops. The whole ride home I was sweating.
WTF. Did this motherfricker sell me a machine gun? Was this a weapon used in a crime, hence the low price? I’m fricking terrified right now and I don’t know if I have to call a LE agency. I’m about to open the rifle up and see what the hell is going on.
show pics of the trigger assembly or how the frick are we supposed to tell? I'm guessing someone bubba'd the trigger. in that case replace the trigger parts.
what this guy said
take a picture of the receiver and post it
if you have a 3rd hole, you're pretty fricked
if it has a forced reset trigger, that's fully legal
Probably has an FRT trigger in it
Okay this is the inside. Is this normal?
Timestamp
Here
photoshopped af
also it's missing a piece on the rear that sticks up
That's a LL. It's probably stolen or the guy just dosen't know what it is since that's something that someone bought when LLs were still sold commercially.
If it was a honeypot they'd make it clear it was an MG and arrest him at the point of sale
Put me in the screencap.
take that part out and hide it in your butt.
godspeed anon, may the ATF shoot your dog
shooped. proportions don't add up.
>shops in timestamp
>people are falling for it
newbies get the FRICK off my board
good effort
good effort, nice bait 9/10 almost had me
Report it to the ATF and surrender the gun, the cost of losing the money you spent on the rifle is nothing compared to spending the next 10 years in federal prison and being fined $250,000
As well as losing your gun rights for life.
>coomply
Why is the picture of the AR blurry and pixelated when your time stamp is clear. Fake af
timestamp or bait

>nothing found
oh shit. That is a DIAS (Drop in autosear)
>oh shit. That is a DIAS (Drop in autosear)
No, it's a Lightning Link.
DIAS looks like pic rel.
doh.
I hold my head in shame
That's a Lightning Link baby!
Say goodbye to your dog kiddo.
You honey trapped. Get a good lawyer...
Looking good
That's missing the vertical piece so that would literally do nothing
Just remove the lightning link and you’re good to go legally.
If a gun goes full auto as the result of a mechanical malfunction that's not illegal. It is something where you should stop shooting and fix it but you aren't going to prison for that.
That's a lightning link or at least part of one (the tail seems to have broken off). It is a device that is designed to drop in to an AR-15 to convert it to full auto. Those are quite illegal.
Good news is that as far as anyone at the range knows your gun was having a mechanical malfunction. Could have been a trigger problem or a broken firing pin slamfiring. You weren't there changing magazines and magdumping but rather just had the one or two double-ups and then left right? As mentioned above, that can be chalked up as a malfunction so it's not illegal in and of itself.
The link is drop in but equally easy to remove. Just pull it out and stash it somewhere or dispose of it. Best to delete those pictures too just to be safe.
As far as a setup or entrapment goes,
Is correct. If the seller was a fed and they were attempting to catch you in a crime he would have had to tell you up front in person or ideally some email/text communication that this gun had been modified this way. They would have to prove that you knowingly bought an illegally modified weapon.
That means probably nobody who cares or enforces these laws currently knows you have this thing. If you remove the link it'll be a regular AR-15 and so far you haven't committed any crimes. You have stumbled on somebody (the seller) who has, although I wouldn't recommend reporting him because then the feds might smell blood in the water and come frick with you anyway. Anonymity and discretion are the best way to go with situations like this.
>(the tail seems to have broken off)
It's not broken off, it's 2 pieces that clip together
It's simply missing in that pic, nothing is broken
Cool dude, you won, don't be a b***h now and stash that sucker.
My AR-10 went full auto when the trigger disconnector pin broke. Basically was allowing the hammer to follow the BCG home. Usually would jam after 4 or 5 rounds or just fail to fire.
Everyone in this thread (including me) has been baited

Not even a master. I’d call it a journeyman baiter at best

Furiously pounding away.
