Compliance mod alternative: Semi-Semi Auto

[BT JUSTICE]

Since I couldn't figure out a way to profit from my idea, I figure I'll share it with you all for feedback.

Since it appears we can keep our standard capacity mags (for now), I cringe at hearing folks discuss how they can permanently attach their 10 round magazines in the well of their AR type rifles.

Wouldn't it be better to keep your quick release mags and go non-semi auto? And since a standard AR upper isn't the most convenient to operate as a "bolt action" with the gas tube removed or otherwise deactivated, why not leave it all in place and let it move the bolt back after each round? The bolt catch could be configured to work after each round, so that after each shot, the shooter could simply push the bolt release and shoot again. This would work well with the extended bolt releases like the Magpul BAD lever, but I think it would be best for the support hand to operate the lever, so the trigger finger could stay in place.

What if we drilled a small, vertical hole (1/8" deep by approx. 1/8" diameter) in the right side of the bolt latch groove, and put the bolt latch spring there, where it would cause the bolt latch to stay up unless pressed by the support hand?

I think it would be very efficient to shoot, with minimal adjustment to shooting technique. It would also be easily switched back to standard configuration for a trip to a free state. I'm sure someone could even create a remote lever or cable actuator so the support hand could release the bolt from the forend.

Thoughts?

Give it to the Brit Cousins to find a way around their semi ban, sorta

Very interesting....

Its sad that we have to copy English subjects with their compliance techniques, but this looks better than registration or fixed magazine.

Good Idea!

Looks a heck of a lot better than the MR2 thingy.

I had an upper that had a lip where it met the lower, and it was causing the bolt to lock back after every round (it was putting pressure on the bolt release). I have a BAD lever on that AR, and I used it for the rest of the day just like that. I would not want to have an AR configured like that, but after a while I got used to pushing the BAD lever after each round. You can actually cycle the weapon fairly quickly. I have since changed the upper, but basically it turned my AR into exactly what you described.

The only problem I see is if you can hold the gun in a way that allows you to hold the lever down. Kalifornia will undoubtedly say that it is semi-auto.

ETA: I'm going to keep emailing and faxing the gov in hopes this crap doesn't pass. I like the UK vid though. Something like that might start slow and eventually gain acceptance just like all of our BB's.

blows my mind how semi auto is trying to become the new demonized automatic. bolt action is 100% next.
