Homemade AK 47

Putting the gas tube on top like the STG44, the AK47 and the AR15 gives you a huge parallax problem which makes it useless for varminting and suspect for precision.

In addition to which Stoner forgot to design an operating rod handle for his AR's. Anytime these jam you need a flathead screwdriver and a hammer to unjam the bolt.

You are infinitely better off with an M-1 Carbine design like the Ruger Mini's.

No you don't! I have fired m-16 and m-4 rifles in the military for about 7 years, they do not jam very easy unless they are never cleaned or the wrong or excess oil is used, and the ar is identical to an m-16 functionally, only differing in the lower reciever, and only slight differences. The only way a screwdriver would be needed for an ar for a jammed bolt would be a double feed, which again usually happens to rifles that go thousands of shots without cleaning or with magazines improperly loaded or user error.

An ar or m-16 will function beautifully for many rounds if they are cleaned after firing, and the user uses rem oil which is dry and does not trap carbon and dust, or use a decent clp, and coat it good to let is soak into the metal then wipe it off until it is almost dry, as too much oil attracts carbon and dust, which is bad in any gas operated rifle.

They jam.

And when they jam you are a dead man.

I have personally never had one jam, unless you count from worn out military issue green 30 round magazines, which were supposed to be phased out a long time ago in favor of orange and black magazines. They were not only worn out after firing hundreds of thousands of rounds, but were poorly designed vs their replacements.

If you experience jamming issues, either your magazine is cheaply made junk or worn out, you did not clean your rifle properly which is essential on most gas fed rifles, excluding the ak which is tolerant to being dirty, or you just had a very poorly made ar that was a defect.

Yawn. Its amazing that the USAMU and the US marine team manages to win all those matches with M16 platforms.

So you are prepared to support a proposition that a certain magical gun will never jam?

Sounds like something your Faerie Godmother told you in a dream.
 
Here is a hint for all of you wanna be G/I Joes --

If IT does not have an operating rod handle on it, DONT buy or make it.

No it sounds more like 7 years of experience operating and firing the weapon, and decades of proven military use of that weapon, excluding the a1, that was actually junk, the military uses the a-2 through the a-4, and civilian ar's are based off at minimum a-2 design or later.

If i had to choose military weapons prone to failure, it would be open bolt designs like the m249, m240 and m60, which with magazine option jam terribly, and only work well when belt fed. They also have issues with bent links jamming the weapon, and the stop breaking causing them to run-away fire unless the links are broken or the bolt is stopped.

Verbosity.

You cannot logically maintain that there is a magical gun that will never jam.

Yet having a carbine without an operating rod handle depends on your Faerie Godmother making sure yours never does.

But the m-16 and ar-15 do not jam under proper use, there is no such thing as a jam proof firearm, but you are making claims about weapons you know little about to people who have spent years using them and even had to rely on them during a military deployment.
 
I saw this piece on CNBC about this guy shows people how to assemble an AK 47 using akit a you can buy over the internet. there would be no serial number, so it's untraceable. also there are apparently no laws governing making you own gun. Anybody else see this?

Didn't see it, but that's pretty awesome. The government doesn't need to know what guns I own.

It is illegal to possess an unregistered machine gun even if you make it. Yes, that makes no sense but FDR's remaining infection has corrupted our jurisprudential fabric and some Banoid Judge has held merely possessing a MG you made "affects interstate commerce"

plus most states parrot the federal law saying you can only own one that is registered pursuant to the 1934 NFA

for firearms that do not require NFA registration-such as a semi auto version of the AK, its most likely legal

Correct.

As long as it is legal to buy in the US, you can build it legally, but only for personal use. In other words you can't sell it or give it to anyone ever. TD pretty much covered the rest.

Correct!
 
Next someone will be telling us that some private citizen learned how to draw brass, make primers and powder.

Personally, I wouldn't care if the receiver had serial numbers or not. Now an untraceable barrel and the ability to make more....hmmm....

All barrels are untraceable or can be made so. You have to find a barrel intact to test it. Did Maryland after 9 years of stupidity not just toss out this silly idea of "bullet finger printing". Gee I wish that was better known.

Do you ever get tired of posting absolute nonsense. It would seem not.

Oops my bad I see it was 15 years
