Until the ATF tracks you down
Or the bullets come down.
Had that happen outdoors with a .22 pistpl once. Mag dump. No reports of damage. Diagnosed to excessive clearance over the striker, allowing striker to slip off sear under recoil of each shot. Was a lightweight high-recoil cheap Sterling .22 auto. Unfixable without inordinate effort, destroyed firearm obtained before GCA68 bullshit.
Had that happen with a new RIA 1911 at the range. Would double-tap. Shots were so rapid I didn't realize it until I noticed only four "shots" were fired with four holes in the target. Diagnosed it to burrs on the disconnector parting line, polished it, works fine now.
I suggest test firing any newly-obtained semi, long or handgun, with three rounds only
from the mag. A little reflection will reveal why.
I'm not signing this one so the ATF won't know who posted it or who had a dirty firing pin in an SKS with ten rounds of squishy-soft primers in American 7.62 X 39 ammo nine of whose bullets came down on the backstop which was planet earth.
