Full Auto for Any AR: How a Lightning Link Works -

Commonly known as the “Lightning Link” the S.W.D., Inc. Auto Connector is a rarity to see these days. With fewer than 900 manufactured and registered in the NFA registry, the Lightning Links are a novel way to convert a semi-automatic AR-15 into a fully-automatic firearm. While the conversion is...

"The kit requires the use of a true AR-15 semi-auto bolt carrier group. Installed, it hooks around the disconnector and the rear portion fits behind the lug of the upper receiver using the lug as a lever point. As the bolt carrier returns to battery, the rear portion of the bolt carrier group catches the vertical portion of the link, causing it to pitch forward pulling the link to the rear which in turns pulls the disconnector to the rear releasing the hammer for the follow-on ignition."
 
…and had the ammo in his lunchbox.

Hmmm, 15 yrs old….maybe he learn’t how to mill that lower in his vocational high skool machine shop class, you know usually sixth or seventh period, afternoons after CRT and economics.

Probably more to the story and thievery likely involved.

Yeah, that’s serous offense but as they say in Chicago - Let’s Not Demonize the Kids™️.

Bit more on the incident;

I'd have to say nothing good since he was stupid enough to bring it there. My but how times have changed from the good ole days. my shop instructor used to bring his new guns and show us. when i first started teaching shop back in 75 i used to bring mine to show the other shop teachers and vice versa. later when i retired in 2013 i would'nt even think of bringing one to school

So I guess these are being produced illegally just like the "Glock switch". Of course the auto connector and perhaps the AR could have been legally registered NFA items that had been stolen.

By 2013 I couldn't tell any of the other staff members I even had a gun much less a collection. It's probably even worse by now.
 
Junior high school, 1957. Small town in eastern Colorado. Science teacher had several .22 rifles in a locked cabinet in the classroom. With a note from your parents, you could check one out for the weekend. He sold .22 Standard Velocity cartridges, box of 50 for fifty cents. Just couldn't take it home on the bus.

No one got shot.
 
Interesting that there is no mention of the "Lightning Link" in the second story. I'd think MSM would be all over that.
And since the gun wasn't fired, how did anybody know such a device was in the gun without taking it apart?
Something doesn't smell right here. :poop:
 
Just like the Glock switches there are probably shops in China and Mexico turning them out by the thousands. Some might even be available on Amazon as I type. And if that is the case, I'm afraid we will hear they're are showing up all over the country.
