because thats very precisely heat treated steel

so youd need machines that can accurately cut steel, and an accurate annealing furnace

so your talking minimum of a couple million in tooling tbh

I thought so too... until I saw our Russian friend making a half decent barrel at home with a few hundred dollars in parts.

those barrels arent the hard part dingus

stainless barrels etc are ez

button rifling is ex

*ez

the bcg though

thats heat treated steel for it even to have a chance of lasting

cam track profile in an ar bolt carriwer

the actual bolt of an ar

how you plan to make an ar bolt

look at how square them corners are

those internal ones

its a fucking nightmare

how you gonna do the magwell on the lowers

those get broached or wire edm'd in industry

how you gonna cut a magwell

and the other bigbrain regulatory move is to restrict ammo

you cant make an ar from scratch at home with no real parts

you can make all the shitty smgs you want though

once you run out of fired brass or primers or powder what do you do then

making ars at home is not the answer to government tyranny

it doesnt solve it

guns in general dont

Gonna have to step it up a notch

guns arent the be all end all tool against tyranny

Make tanks at home

exactly

na but weapons entirely aside, those arent really important

having organized dissent is what does it

governments arent toppled by small arms

theyre toppled by groups organized against them

waiting till its the point where you have to use weapons is a bad point

which is why the ancient point of friends are the most powerful gear you can have is so fuckin true

friends are literally more valuable gear than a gun

so form strong social connections

regionally

because if the internet down your internet friends are non factors

"maybe the real gear was the friends we made along the way" 🤔
