Pay attention to post #5. This sheds a new light on this case and is nothing like what we have been told. I seems that the reports that I got when it first broke are true and Mr. Olofson was guilty as charged of manufacturing an automatic weapon.

Most of post #5 is garbage. It does shed new light, but when most of the 'evidence' that was presented was 'paid for', and half of the items aren't crimes in the first place, I fail to see how it changes much...
If ownership of a spreadsheet with parts, the willingness to help people put together weapons that they purchased, having several thousand rounds of ammo, not having an FFL, and owning a file, screwdrivers, pliers and a hammer make us machine gun manufacturers, then I'm in trouble.
If you continue reading the thread that you posted here, there are many people who dispute the affidavit.
I'm not saying this guy was completely innocent of wrong-doing, but this is from the BATFE, who has no written policy of testing and conducts those tests in secrecy.
I'm also interested in how the alleged 3-round burst ability turned into firing all 20 rounds 'automatically'.
