(33,982 posts)I am EXTREMELY skeptical of your story, or details are missing that would have made such a transaction legal or even likely to have occurred. I'm a firearm enthusiast. A Washington Arms Collectors member (the main Gun Show in Washington State). Guns have been prolific in my family all my life. Not once in any setting has anyone offered to show me, sell me, claimed to have purchased, or made, an auto sear or any other components that might potentially allow a firearm to fire more than once per pull of the trigger. Not once. Not people who sorta knew me. Not people who enjoyed the loose tongue of anonymity. Not people who explicitly trust me with their lives.
As has been pointed out to you, an Auto Sear is no use in any AR pattern rifle made after 1986. It either won't fit/work, or if you force it, the whole damn thing will jam, with damage, or worse, explode in your hands/face.
So those 'auto sears floating around' are as far as I can tell, a myth. If they exist at all, they are a felony, just to have one in your hand, carrying a $10,000 fine and up to 10 years in federal prison. Per sear.
In many states like WA, even being a dealer would be no defense if caught in possession of an auto sear for any reason.
