jm951 0 #5 March 14, 2007 Why go to all this trouble when you can get a parts kit and assemble a semi auto version that's totally legal? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1969912 0 #6 March 14, 2007 QuoteSweet...what's the receiver going to look like? First, its a bolt action design, not semi-auto. The extra barrel may end up in a semi-auto design at some point, or maybe just a long version. We took a hell of a lot of metal off the basic barrel for this short bbl. design. Currently, the receiver is designed as a simple cylindrical tube, but we may make some changes when we get closer to making it. It is a shared project, and since my partner has a life, progress is sometimes slow. More pics as the thing progresses.

1969912 0 #7 March 14, 2007 QuoteWhy go to all this trouble when you can get a parts kit and assemble a semi auto version that's totally legal? Because its fun to make shit. Because we can. Legal stuff is also a consideration, because even bolt-action designs are NOT legal everywhere, unless they were owned before certain bans went into effect (no more comment needed).

It's great fun to make stuff, AK, FAL, CTME, 1918, MG42 are all subjects for the DIY types. Every one of those can be done from a pile of parts. That's why the anti's will never completely ban firearms as long as there are home machine shops scattered across the country. Molon Labe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnRich 4 #9 March 14, 2007 Are you required to report to the BATF in order to manufacture a firearm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrewEckhardt 0 #10 March 14, 2007 QuoteAre you required to report to the BATF in order to manufacture a firearm? No as long as it's not an NFA weapon. Making a machine gun is no longer allowed for non-licensed individuals. Registration and payment of the $200 making tax (even if its an AOW which normally has a $5 transfer tax) is required for all other NFA arms. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
