LOL! The rifle had a 3 posiiton selector switch. Olofson told the "student" not to use that position, because 3 rnds might go off. When the feds tested it, position 3 was full auto, and three 20 rnd mags were emptied full auto.
Got any links for that info?

That is not what it sounds like from the article. They mention the ATF switching to soft primers to get it to slam fire.
Actually, no it didn't. The first report on it was that it wouldn't fully engage in the Full auto position. It was only on subsequent abuse by the BATFE that they finally broke it the rest of the way and got it to go into a "wild fire" mode where the sear catch was completely broken off.
I have been following this one over on ARFCOM. The government is up to no good on this one.
I reaed the same thing. To those who are questioning this, do a search to find the charges and the newspaper reports of the trial. If this was a railroading, there were a whole bunch of people in on it, not just the BATF. This article looks like it was written by the person who was charged. It tells nothing of the tests where it fired automatically when the selector was put in the “unmarked third position”.
