Pinellas sheriff yanks 309 rifles over ‘serious manufacturing’ issues
The first batch of AR-15s ordered from the Odessa-based manufacturer by the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office had some trigger problems, Sheriff Bob Gualtieri said. Then, in later batches, a few rifles switched on their own from semi-automatic to fully automatic fire.
The sheriff warned the company: Give us a refund or inspect every rifle and put it in writing that they’re functional.
Then came the final straw. A deputy went to shoot one of the rifles at the range and when she pulled the trigger, nothing happened.

He compared Adams Arms to nine other brands, including giants such as Bushmaster and Ruger. In his comparison, he cited the manufacturer’s websites, online gun forums and Wikipedia.
Gun forums and wikipedia, the two most reliable ways to research how to spend $300k of taxpayer money.

I would normally check a rifle for functionality before buying it. I would certainly do that if I was buying 309 rifles.

The sheriff couldn’t get the DoD to give him weapons?
