Don't believe everything you read on the net but is this article true about the ban? http://bearingarms.com/bob-o/2016/09/15/breaking-mp-1522s-banned-appleseed-events-battery-run-away-discharges/

Silver lining here... assuming it is true, it looks like I'm in the market for another rifle!

Don't go shopping just yet.  Breathe through your nose; there may or may not be issues with this rifle. 

There were reports of OOBs, to include one injury, on the lines recently.  Out of an overabundance of caution, the AOC deemed their use is temporarily suspended after reports of issues from the lines.

Senior AS leadership is working directly with S&W to adjudicate possible issues.

Clear as mud?  ;)  That's what we know right now...
"5 minutes for this stage - that's like a week in people years!"

"Responsibility is a unique concept... You may share it with others, but your portion is not diminished. You may delegate it, but it is still with you... If responsibility is rightfully yours, no evasion, or ignorance or passing the blame can shift the burden to someone else. Unless you can point your finger at the man who is responsible when something goes wrong, then you have never had anyone really responsible.�
― Hyman G. Rickover

"Scoring is a function of great execution, and winning Is the result, but thinking about winning can pull your focus off of proper execution in a competition. Thinking about process is the answer."- Lanny Bassham

Ahahha yah but it all makes sense. I support AS decision to take said action, just wasn't sure if what i was reading was true or click bait. Today's media is... not the greatest source of intel.

I might just do more reloading for my .223 and use that.
