Raylan Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 This is a thread I had found years ago (made in 2012 I believe) about the making of an AK47 out of a shovel. I found it very funny with some slightly salty language. In my head the words play out in a bad russian accent. But it is a rather remarkable achievement with basic tools. Also love the cat. https://www.northeastshooters.com/xen/threads/diy-shovel-ak-photo-tsunami-warning.179192/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailrider #896 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Years ago, I read an article about a man who had escaped from a mental institution. He was finally caught and hadn't hurt anybody, but the police found that he had made two longarms. One was a bolt action that he made from a bicycle handle, which could shoot .30-30 or .30-06 ammo interchangeably! The second was a blowback operated semi (?) auto that would also handle .30-30's.

Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Not too surprisingly, it is fairly common for people denied firearms, to make their own. I understand Australia is starting to find this out and what a number of other countries already know. Here's some examples, of home made firearms. (And to gun banners everywhere: By all means continue with your delusions that you can ban firearms. You are playing into the hands of criminals, but don't let that stop you.) Sorry, but we are facing bans here in Canada. Rant off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 I understand the majority were full auto, blow back, design and function. They were the easiest to produce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
