Every time I see something like this, I become ever more proud to be an American.
And it’s perfectly legal.
Now go there and see how it works, and if you don’t feel the stirrings of at least a teeny chubby, we can’t be friends.

With a decent template, or proper shop drawings, that thing could be fabricated in a home workshop with common hand tools.
It’s most likely illegal, right?
In my best Yoda voice….”it will be….it will be….” >:-[
Someone at ATF wrote out a detailed technical definition of the difference between semi-automatic and fully automatic operation of a firearm and someone else figured out a loophole. Now the ball in back in the ATF court to re-write the definition and then go out and shoot this guy’s dog.
Indeed.
Back in another life, I was an FFL in Kalifornia. This mirrors the dance we had back there, then, with the “Bullet Button”. At the time, California law banned “detachable” magazines, but was silent about attaching them. Yes, there is more to it, but I’m too lazy to type out a detailed explanation.
The definition is statutory; ATF cannot rewrite it. That’s how FRT’s (I might have a super safety) work. The definition is one round fired per operation of the trigger. And this, like any other FRT, is one round fired for every operation of the trigger. The trigger is going through an operation cycle for every round fired; the person simply pulls the trigger. You can feel (lightly) the trigger moving under your finger when it works (or so I’ve been told – hypothetically.
The problem with all of these FRTs is that the cyclic rate is too fast. They need to find a way to slow it down.
Oh, baby indeed!
I don’t even have an AR and I want one!
Thanks for the explanation, Kim
I thought you accidentally posted a pic of your well worn prostate stimulator
Wait… it has ANOTHER use?
Didn’t watch the video at the link because it requires me to sign in, which I refuse to do. Went to the Hoffman website and watched the installation video.
Brief bona fides: I graduated the U.S. Army Small Arms Repair School at Aberdeen Proving Grounds (yeah, long time ago).
This thing is in essence a “revamp” of the original M-16 auto sear. As described in the video, it engages with the same surface on a mil-spec bolt carrier as the original auto sear does. My guess is that Hoffman is headed for a legal minefield.
