I used to have some stuff but what wasn’t sold at the local gunshow for cash was lost to the lady of the lake . She traded me a cool sword that glows a strange gold color when I hold it .

Wait till it passes then go out of state and buy what you want. Flaunt it in their fucking faces and tell them go fuck off.

The only thing you have to do is fit the bullet guide correctly and headspace the bolt. The bolt fitting is the only difficult part of the build. I ran the bolt by hand for an hour or so using valve lapping compound on the bolt lugs and a tad on the rails and it was finished. That thing runs slicker than owl shit now. If you have a press and can make rivet setting tools for the mag catch and bullet guide you can do a galil fairly easily. Parts condition can sometimes be problematic but if you are mechanically inclined you should be able to sort it out.

YMMV, but US made products are highly hit or miss when it comes to AKs and foreign rifle patterns. Companies that could put out a consistent quality product like 74ullc are the exception not the norm. |

Cetme/g3 flats are easy to bend, kits are fairly cheap, and the jigs are able to be printed at home. Add a welder, hydraulic press, and a drill press and you can knock some rifles out fairly easy.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By KILLERB6: Concur. Haven’t read CO’s law, but the original AWB had a “nor create a weapon that would otherwise be prohibited” clause (like 922(r)) which prevented one from legally building a banned weapon after the ban.

I think the lawmakers are smart enough to include similar wording in any new AWB.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By weaponoutfitters: Atlantic Firearms seems to have cost efficient roller lack stuff. My advice is that you just get the guns you can afford, even if they are budget and suck. Get em in before the deadline, and you can improve/pimp out the gun at your leisure later typically. With MP-5s, the Turkshit clones seem to be 90% as good as the premium guns that cost 2-3X as much, and need just a little work to keep running. Tinkering is half the fun with guns that aren't "duty" guns like the Glock and AR. But yeah, after a dozen Glocks and a dozen ARs you may want to have weird stuff in your safe too. Dangerous attitude, since the laws will always be used to persecute the enemies of the ruling regime. The ruling regime will throw the book at you if you are a middle class or higher gun owner that pays his taxes. Whereas in Seattle, a teenager who literally shot a dude in the face in a carjacking (dude survived) was released to his parents custody LMAO I guess I must be getting old. I’m done living by Fiat and just want to live out my remaining decades in peace and quiet, living as I want to, and doing as I please. I don’t care what laws they pass anymore, you can’t rule over honest men. |

Unless you got mad skillz & angry toolz I'd take everyones advice about avoiding parts kits per say.
There really are not any good cheap ones out there anymore. Sten MK3 300 and up Sterling 700 and up. Bren lmg 1200 and up 1919 2500 and up You can get cheap pps43 and 43/52 kits again if you know how to do the semi conversion Same with a, UZI kit is expensive now 400 + and unless you can convert the bolt yourself it's gonna be anothe 300 with out a barrel striker mags and repair section. Get parts for what you have and buy complete what you want. Maybe buy a 3d printer lathe and mill and learn a bit. Most rewelds or receiver bend builds are hampered by lack of tooling/knowledge/competence. best of luck to you. PA has it's own ban on homebuilds passed the house hoping it dies in the senate. |

Some amazing homebuilt parts kits out there. Kit prices now suck and tooling has never been cheap. Affordable yes cheap no. There's no shame in getting a professional to do it, instead of potentially winding up with a bunch of mangled parts or a grenade shaped like a rifle. For rare kits or difficult builds this makes sense, or simply if you want a high quality build, especially getting things like a blued finish or cloning original proof marks/crests/markings. In fact in some collectors communities, it is more difficult selling a conversion or build that wasn't performed by a reputable gunsmith (i.e HK/MP5 communities). For anyone who has the skill and equipment, sure they can stick to home building. But for each one of those guys, there are 10 who can't be trusted with anything more complex than a punch and mallet, let alone a mill, welder or press. |

If you shop around and don't mind haggling, you can get M5 lowers pretty cheap. I picked up two off Tacswap for $140 each delivered from an FFL out of Alaska and one from a private seller here on the EE for $135 delivered to the FFL. Then I get the privilege of paying another $20-40 in transfer costs per receiver. While I can still buy them of course |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Scott_S: Personally I’d lean toward FFL. At the very least I’d want a factory-looking receiver in case it got LE attention. I imagine most officers are unfamiliar with laws regarding home-built guns, much less stuff like 922(R). Not a bad idea Are you an AK guy? Any suggestions? Receivers that may be easier to buy parts/kits for in the future? @scott_s |

I have 5 AK mags. Nib. I don't own an ak. But they were banning magazines, so

If you haven't owned a FAL for the past 10 years, you probably can't afford one now.
