The Bushmaster ACR has been recalled because it can go full-auto under some circumstances. If you own one, make sure you send it in to be fixed. Not only is it a safety hazard but a legal one. The BATFE are not fond of firearms firing more than one shot when the trigger is pulled

Frustratingly, Bushmaster only sent out this recall noticed in the form of a scanned image converted to PDF. I had to use OCR software to convert it to text. If you own an ACR I suggest reading the original recall notice.

The notice …
