Later, police searched a bedroom in Knoth’s home, where they discovered two different machine guns, one of which was loaded; ammunition and loaded magazines, federal officials said. The loaded gun had no visible serial numbers or manufacturer’s stamp, officials said. |

Fucking weird dude, to be sure.
But I can't help but wonder if the "non-serialized machineguns" were AR's without a disconnector installed. It'd be a machinegun in theory, but not in practice. Just my wild, unfounded speculation. |

What's a high schooler doing with a PC? Or better question, how did he make a third pin lower?

Investigators also searched Knoth’s home. During a search of the southwest bedroom, investigators found a loaded machine gun in the closet, an AR-style .223/.556 pistol, containing no visible serial numbers or manufacturer stamp. They found a second machine gun, an UZI-style 9mm firearm (unknown manufacture), in the dresser. Investigators found a receipt from M&A Parts, Inc., which listed various firearm parts, including an M16 LPK part kit with auto sear. (An auto sear is a device used to turn a semi-automatic rifle into a fully automatic rifle.) Investigators also found numerous rounds of ammunition and numerous loaded .223/.556 and 9mm magazines throughout the residence.

That kid was motivated. Glad they got him before he launched his attack.

Me, too. I saw that. They probably moved from storefront to web sales. They're probably selling off parts from guns they " lost".....

This reject can order an auto sear from M&A Parts but I can't order a Repro Colt CAR butt stock from them? I've literally tried 5 times using two different cards a few months ago. Probably an ATF run sight with no inventory...

Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Shit, M&A is selling auto Sears now online? DIAS included? How much do they cost? Some factory semi auto lowers are completely milled to M16 dimensions and just require a single hole to take over the counter M16 parts. Some people seem to think it's difficult, but almost all semi autos can be converted to full auto with a bit of thought and 10 minutes of machine time. |

Went to school wearing a plate carrier with a handgun in his backpack, showing other kids loaded magazines, didn't shoot the place up. Was it show and tell day for the intellectually challenged class or what?

But I was under the impression that auto sears are very expensive registered things. Is that not the case? I honestly don't know. A registered drop in auto sear is an expensive thing, due to the Hughes amendment. It is only expensive due to the fact it is registered (and thusly, legal). |

But I was under the impression that auto sears are very expensive registered things. Is that not the case? I honestly don't know. Standard auto sears arent conversion parts, they are unregulated and you have to drill a hole and normally do some milling to an AR15 lower to make them work. Auto connectors look like a DIAS and drop into AR15 lowers, they work with standard ar15 hammer, trigger and disconnector and make it full auto. They qork by pushing the back of the disconnector down every time the bolt closes. This causes the hammer to drop as long as the trigger is held down. AFAIK, there are no transferrable auto connectors. Lightning links are a thin piece of metal with a paddle that interacts with an SP1 type bolt carrier. When the paddle is pushed forward it pivots the plate to the rear which pulls the disconnector back and allows the hammer to drop. There are transferable lightning links and they are one of the cheapest methods of having a legal full auto AR. |

Thank you, jaq..
I was aware of the need for the third hole but not clear about the distinctions between sears. I have had two different guys open up their rifles and show me their lightning links. Whether they were "legal" or not is none of my business and I didn't ask. Pretty fucking cool though. |

View Quote $10 from brownells http://www.brownells.com/rifle-parts/triggers-parts/sear-parts/sears/auto-sear-assembly-a2-prod22435.aspx That's what a real auto sear looks like, as has been said, requires a few extra parts and a hole but the piece isn't illegal. |

That is not always the case, but in this circumstance, you would have to be crazy to disagree with it. Kid was probably planning something fucky, even if not, he broke several laws and carried a gun to high school. I have to go to school unarmed every day to get my degree. This kind of shit scares me because it's becoming more and more common. |

As I said, wild speculation. That said, anyone who is halfway skilled with machine tools can build a machinegun in just a few hours. It's honestly pretty silly to expect otherwise. |
