"I've got 4 full magazines through mine, works just fine"

Works flawlessly every time never had an issue great reliability would trust my life to this in combat

'I shoot a lot (over 500 rounds a year) and this gun has taken the abuse in stride'

<:gt:558150117262360586>

imagine thinking 500 is alot

It's a lot to shoot in 5 minutes

Oh I gotcha. Well, I'm hoping to put a few hundred rounds through it each month, so hopefully it adds up. I need find find a good source of cheap practice ammo though. And I know there's a big difference between a few mags a month and endless use and abuse in combat. I'd love to see whether what I built could handle that or not, but it's never going to experience that unless the igloo goes off. Maybe when I'm making more money I'll be able to buy enough ammo to really put it through it's places but for now, I'm happy with what I made.

If you're not melting your barrel out, then you're wrong

Imagine thinking that you “made” a firearm

Even if the boogaloo kicked off it wouldnt experience that because you’d be shot on the first day and it’d be thrown into a smelter

Well, as close to making one as most people get. You know what I mean though. I would love to make a 3d printed gun or a hardware store gun some day, just to see if I could (and to flip off the feds).

I have more respect for wuggy butchering an AK than I do for you thinking you’re special for putting together an AR and fucking half of one up

There are plenty of firearms out there that you can make yourself

An ar is not one of them

Any modern, properly engineered firearms? Or are we talking abortion-tier hardware store builds? Both are useful, but I'd love it if modern firearms could be built at home.

You couldnt even find a "properly" engineered lower

Of course, that's without considering stuff like the Deterence Dispenced FGC9.

Any gun can be made if you have tools

@Cataclysmoi know good 80%s are out there. I just got burned by a single company.

Well yeah but I mean without a big ass CNC rig that runs on 3 phase power.

You can make an 80% with a file

Ok that might actually make me kill myself.

Then you dont deserve to own guns

ez

🤔

You gotta want it

You have shown that you clearly dont

Protip most base model haas mills will run off single phase 220, perfect for the garage

Bro. How are you supposed to survived in the boog if youre stuck in your garage?

If you want a gun bad enough you can make one that is totally functional with shit you find at a hardware store and a single pistol magazine

Steel pipe and a hammer if you're really desperate enough.

were talking about making ARs with hand tools

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.
