Just got out to the range after getting my rifle back from S&W. No failures to feed/fire/eject/extract (went through about 250 rounds) but every once in a while it'll fire a 2 round burst. Anyone have any ideas? Doesn't really bother me as long as it's not another OOB.

I'd call Smith and Wesson and get authorization to send it back. For my information, what are the first 4 digits of your serial number?

My suggestion..... send it back to the factory, say no more about it, here or elsewhere. :)
 
Mine was having the same problem, probably due to the Bill Springfield trigger job. It's at s&w now being repaired.
 
My DTUxxxx is doing the same thing, called Smith today and the are sending me a UPS return label. I only have about 500 rounds of CCI thru it Ron
 
Got my labels two days ago and have sent it back yesterday for this problem along with failure to eject and OOB's Must have gotten the lemon of the bunch. Mine is a DTX3xxx series
 
Glad I found this thread.
Thought it was my mind playing tricks on me or a twitch on an unfamiliar trigger.


DTUXXXX flash hider model - bone stock, no trigger or other modifications at all.
Will be obtaining a return label immediately.

I can appreciate the protective sentiment here, but strongly disagree with people not posting about this condition.

The internet and specifically forums are a very valuable informational resource, and IMO it's important to voice up if a firearm has a defect which exhibits a significant and very dangerous condition.

This is especially important since this firearm is a 'trainer' type rifle and light enough that many young shooters will be introduced to it early on. Imagine a youngster in your family being maimed because nobody wanted to go on record as saying their rifle was defective.

If one wants a Class III weapon, he should do so legally, and more importantly built on a platform that is designed for that rate of fire.
