This is not a clever way to get a machine gun (although I&#8217;m sure plenty of fools will see it as such); it is a serious safety problem because it can often cause out of battery detonation of cartridges, seriously damaging the rifle and injuring the shooter or bystanders. Potentially worse, an unexpected 30-round mag dump at 1000 rpm can easily cause a shooter to lose control of the rifle and put bullets in dangerous directions. It will also, of course, cause damage to the receiver, bolt carrier, and fire control assembly.<\/p>\n<p>The solution is to add a significantly heavier firing pin spring, to prevent the increased bolt velocity of the LC from allowing the firing pin to slamfire. The problem stems from a combination of design changes to the LC model specifically, and poor quality springs originally made for the rifles.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/ForgottenWeapons\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/ForgottenWeapons<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>See my blog post for the full details:http:\/\/www.forgottenweapons.com\/cetme-lc-the-short-one-safety-psa\/ In brief, the problem is that the guns will often run away if steps are not taken to prevent it.
