"P.S. -- I'm a fan of makeshift slambangs"Umm, see you in lockup, or face behind glass at Post Office wall... Making of firearms is not unlawful, nor illegal. What you fo with such firearms is where people find trouble with John Law and his Boys O'Many. *EOM* Do you find this valuable? |

as far as rifles go, assuming they meet the legal criteria for rifles, i don't think you even need pull permits to construct one, i'm probably wrong though, the ATF probably wants a piece of pie.

"Skip, is there anywhere else to get that file besides rapidshare? My computer hates it for some reason."I can try megaupload, or send it directly. Use Rapidshare as it works for most of the folks that try it... It is an eight meg file, not too large for e.mail systems like google.mail PM me, let me know. SnC Do you find this valuable? |

accurate compared to a factory made, computer designed model. i doubt some guy in his garage could top a team of engineers with million dollar manufacturing plants

"accurate compared to a factory made, computer designed model. i doubt some guy in his garage could top a team of engineers with million dollar manufacturing plants"Unless the guy in the garage was copying someone elses work. Think of all of the weapons designed and built before computers. Do you find this valuable? |

Most guns were designed WITHOUT a computer, like the:M1 Garand Rifle Mosin-Nagant Rifle Kar98k Rifle AK-47 Assault Rifle M-16 Assault Rifle M1911A1 pistol P-38 pistol MP-40 SMG MG-42 light machine gun TT-50 pistol Sten SMG Thompson SMG Bizon SMG Gyurza pistol The list could go on and on! 2 out of 2 found this valuable.

agreeing with Green and byatesthere are these things called tolerances that are drawn into schematics, basically tolerances tell the machinist whats acceptable and whats not, while in some situations tolerances can be a good thing, in most cases they should be as tight as practical (i'd say within .005, but never having machined guns i wouldn't know what tolerances would be at the high end) when you mass produce things, tolerances can suffer, when they are hand made to quality standards, then you can have one damn fine rifle. Hence the extra money for custom built rifles. so as byates pointed out, the gun is as accurate as the person made it to be. Do you find this valuable? |

well, i suppose you could make your own gun, but it would still require a few very good machining tools. i would prefer to maintain the weapons i already have though. seriously? the m1 garand was built by hand? then i guess there is hope.

yeah and the fact that will really shock you is that alot of them were built by.... gasp WOMEN!!!!you'll also appreciate that the british sten gun was made in an old bicycle shop. Do you find this valuable? |

sten cost roughly $5 a piece during war timeThe above mentioned weapons are not only very common and reliable, but the base of many weapons systems. The Mauser bolt in the Model 1898 rifle is widely used in many rifles to this day for sturdy and simple design. The P38 operating system is copied in the Beretta 92 and Gyurza I don't think the AK, M16 and 1911 really need any explanations. A solid design doesn't need a digital medium to become great : ) Does anybody know if the sig 210 was built with a computer? Do you find this valuable? |
