It is just unbelievable that these products are leaving the Factory. It doesn't matter whose factory. Obviously this gun was NEVER test fired. Slam fire when closing the bolt. Leaving the trigger still in the cocked position. Holy smoke.
Could not be a better example of the importance of safe gun handling.

It happens. I had a Mini-14 that would do that. It had a HUGE burr on the firing pin opening on the bolt. I bought it new, as well.

He brings up a good point: when you have a gun that's new or new to you it very well might be a good idea not to load it in the house. If he did with that gun, he'd have a hole in wall.... if he was lucky.
