dont change the subject
@Trolly that's.... good to know. If only they weren't 10s of thousands of dollars. I'll bet a desktop CNC could handle a crude AR in 6061.
I mean there are definitely people who have made AR lowers with only hand tools
@Red Korvo stop being poor
Fadals can run single phase too, and you can get one of them for like 6k
If all you’re making is ARs and you’re a retard you might as well just get a ghost gunner
I've got a 3d printer so I'm not worried about making the lower tbh. The uppers and BCGs would be tricky. Thanks to IvanTheTroll barrels are pretty doable now.
Yes
A real cnc mill
But it's totally illogical for basic bitch ARs which are cheap and easy to buy complete or as 80s. Build some 240s
I'm thinking some 240s....... and some M203s.
Just learn to shoot a .22 correctly first
Accuracy through volume
No reason you can't work on both. Lots of good mechanics that aren't great drivers.
I used to think that was me, until I got behind the wheel of a racecar
And realized specialization is for insects
That's why I said there's no reason you can't work on both. I think that's ideal.
Used to do top fuel drag racing n true its less about your skill and more about the size of your balls
>drag
Sounds kinda gay fam
For you
i paid 60 bucks to have my upper assembled lmao no one cares that youre smart enough to use a vise
@Red Korvo You did use a vise right?
@Red Korvo bruh I hope you don't mean .223 / 5.56 barrels being doable
There's not any appropriately sized hydraulic tubing that would withstand those pressures
And all Ivan did was find a cheap and effective way to rifle already suitable sections of tubing
Gundrilling is a massive rabbit hole that requires either very short barrels or purpose built machinery
Bro just 3d print the barrel extension 😂
nah itll work, im gonna cast it out of bronze
Anything that's not a 9mm 3D gat should not have a barrel ECM'd. You have to get special tools if you plan to rifle your own barrels because you're too retarded to machine a blank.
Clearly youre all stupid because @Red Korvo is an engineering mastermind
I'd set my lathe up for gun drilling and rifling but green mountain barrels are dirt cheap
didnt they get busted for having illegals make their shit?
That's bear creek
Green mountain is just a mid/low end barrel and blank maker
while barrels and bcgs are so cheap its not a terrible idea to have a few extra "okay" grade ones laying around as insurance for a panic
the only reason to machine a blank while barrels are almost a dime-a-dozen is if you're making something with a nonstandard extension
I wouldn't build an AR Barrel
