What happens if you use an M16 BCG and your disconnector fails. I think you will be FK'ed. |
Actually, this is the kind of comment I was looking for. I have heard all sorts of "spooky" stories of the sneaky BATF using sensitive ammo primers to make even the most factory ARs slam fire, but I think that these are just urban legends.

Stop over at the Fal Files sometime and read what the ATF did to 'Moses.' Now, the weapon was not an AR and the issue was not a bolt carrier, but he did have a full-auto selector in a non-sear-cut receiver (meaning it could not have been a machine gun) so, IIRC, what they did was use different types of ammo in their 'test' to see if it was a machine gun until they got the results they wanted - which was a slam fire type malfunction, but ATF yelled 'machine gun!' Moses prevailed, but not after spending thousands of dollars on attorney's fees. This is the case that led to congress passing a law making the ATF standardize and video-tape their tests.
It's just too bad that the malfunction didn't happen when the bolt was out-of-battery while it was being 'tested'
ps- I'm not trying to dissuade you from using an M16 carrier.
