If you had minimal tools but metal smithing experience its not hard to make one, far easier than an AR.
I suppose you have seen this where a guy made an AK receiver out of a shovel (the shovel handle used for the stock) and most of the rest out of random chunks of metal and a barrel blank.
“If you had minimal tools but metal smithing experience its not hard to make one, far easier than an AR.”
I try to explain this to anti gunners with no luck. I used to do metal R&D, prototyping, fixturing, and manufacturing process. I had a half million $ in machines in my shop. Water jet cutter, CNC mill and lathe, welders..... I’d show them a picture of a Sten and ask them if they thoughts and I couldn’t crank them out by the ton. Aks and Uzis would take only slightly more effort.
