Bren uncommanded automatic fire event.

[#1oilman]

Years ago I purchased an AR 10 Explorer .22 cal survival rifle from SIR in Manitoba. The day I picked it up at the post office I went out to try it out and to my suprise it fired full auto right out of the box and not just once, 2 out of 3 times it would empty the mag.

Like you I had problems in the past with my Mk2 when I took to it with bearing grease and gave all the working parts a light coating scrubbed on with a tooth brush. Took it out to the range when it was 22f or -6c and it was sluggish and would not run. I pulled it down and cleaned the grease off and it ran good. I now use engine oil for lube now and keep an oil can and brush in my range kit and a spray can of WD40.

That would be very cool for an AR7...a different type of survival rifle... (I don't think you mean an AR10 explorer...) It went into the buttstock, right?
