![]() ![]() It's worth noting that on the "pre-ban" open-bolt semi-auto (non-machinegun) M11's, inserting something as simple as a pencil stub behind the trigger prevented the trigger from "resetting", and thus effectively converted it to full-auto. So if you cock the bolt and pull the trigger, and HOLD the trigger ALL THE WAY BACK, a machinegun will allow you to pull the bolt back and forth, but it won't "catch" in the open position until you release the trigger. If it's a machinegun, it will almost certainly be open-bolt. Since you may just inherited the thing and you may not know much about it, it may be worthwhile to check to see if it is a machinegun. If the bolt did NOT stay back when you cocked it in step 2, then pulling the trigger (again making sure the safety is off) should result in an audible "click" as the firing pin strikes forward. This will also be evidenced by a fixed firing pin protruding from the bolt face, even with the bolt cocked back.ģ. If the bolt then slams forward, you have an open-bolt gun. If it stays "open", then make sure the safety is off and pull the trigger hard. Pull the bolt as far back as it will go, and release it. This is *especially* important when dealing with an open-bolt gun.Ģ. Remove the magazine and make sure the gun is completely unloaded. ![]()
