A stack of dimes behind the trigger would be illegal.
Accidentally placing the tip of your off-hand pointer finger behind the trigger is not illegal, but the gun will shoot multiple rds per pull in this manner. Half of a pink rubber eraser is actually the one I saw in a late 1980s show about "The Deadly Ingram Loophole." I have searched for the show online with zero luck. I wanna say it was Inside Edition or some such shock news, but no manner of google-fu seems to find it.
An extra buffer or two, light reloads, etc., have all been used to create the same effect.
I won't argue it. It's not really a big deal to me. If I wanna run FA, I run a gun with a tax stamp.
Last yr at Dixie Gun Show, there was a 9mm SAP open bolt, and upon inspection, it had a notched bolt, with a hex screw in place to trip the semi auto sear. I imagine a few twists of the screw would have made it FA, but I set that bitch down TOOT SUITE, and even wiped my prints off. Lol
Still can’t figure out how this would somehow stop the bolt from hitting the trip and initiating the Disconnect, seems like it’s just another old fudd urban legend.. and yes I’ve tried it and No, it doesn’t do anything at all and you cannot even get a stack of dimes to hold in place behind the trigger.. I had to try using other objects… The gap between the trigger and the magwell on these guns is like 7/8 of an inch… you would need to use a dozen dimes. (I also don’t think it’s “illegal” to stuff dimes behind your trigger, especially when it doesn’t do a damn thing at all, aren’t you the same guy who told that story about your fudd FFL sawing machine guns in half also?)
Totally different situation than under powdered ammo not sending the bolt back far enough for the bolt’s sear notch to catch the sear.. not sure how a stack of dimes behind the trigger would cause the bolt not to travel as far back when the round goes off either, or affect the bolt travel at all for that matter... the trigger either drops the bolt or it doesn’t, there’s no in between, once the trigger engages the sear, the bolt slams forward and it either hits the trip or it doesn’t, the only way to get these guns to go full auto is to either prevent that sear from catching the bolt (under powered ammo) prevent the bolt from hitting the trip (grinding bottom front left off the bolt off by about a 1/4 inch or grinding/removing the trip) or prevent the trip from engaging the disconnect (every single other method).
I have the old “FULL AUTO” conversion manual, it touches on basically every possible way to create a situation where the trip no longer functions to engage the disconnect, like 6 or 7 different techniques, including underpowered ammo, grinding down the bottom front left side of the bolt so it no longer engages the trip (best way, doesn’t require any modification to the receiver, and can be quickly swapped out for a normal bolt) snapping the disconnector stem off so it no longer interacts with the trip, cutting the trip so it no longer interacts with the disconnect, removing the FCG entirely and drilling the frame out for a selector switch (pain in the ass but the most “legitimate” conversion method), and even a patented auto sear that attached to the trigger to lock the disconnector in place, preventing it from functioning and dropping off the sear… no mention of the bullshit dimes/eraser nonsense. I am yet to have someone explain exactly what the dimes (or eraser) supposedly does to somehow prevent the bolt from causing the trip to engage the disconnect.
What are you even talking about a “notched bolt with a hex screw in place to trip the semi auto sear”??? 🙄 do you understand how the FCG of an open bolt MAC functions??? they do not have any kind of “semi auto sear”… it is the easiest gun on earth to covert to full auto and doesn’t involve anything pertaining to “notched bolts with hex screws” or non existent “semi auto Sears”… it’s literally a matter of 25 seconds with a file…. tell me you know nothing about how an open bolt semi auto MAC functions without telling me you know nothing about how an open bolt semi auto MAC functions…
Ok back to LAGE 22 kits not working…
