Re: Homemade Guns
I might be able to find pictures of some of the stuff my dad and I have built, but if they exist, they're on a hard drive in a computer that's in a storage unit... here's the list of scratch built stuff that we've done.
Using existing receivers:
9x19 mauser k98
7.62x39 K98, interestinly Wolf ammo shoots about 1.5-2 MOA...
22-250 on a MN 91/30
30-30 on a 91/30
45-70 on a 91/30
30-06, 308, 44mag, 357, 6.5-06 on k98's
Using scratch materials
several AR15 and AR10 lowers, a lefty 10/22 that uses a scratch built bolt, flipped charging handle, and new stock. It's trick to feed though, we had a lot of trouble with the mags. I tore it down for parts on a regular match 10/22, Marlin 25M receiver for a 22 mag parts kit that I got, AR15 and AR10 combination that's made to shoot our proprietary wildcat based from 30-06 cases and is a cheap ballistic twin to the 458 SOCOM, works the same as a 450 Bushy, and was done in 2001.
One of the Bill Holmes home shop pistols, a Bill Holmes 50, and I started a falling block from scratch when I was in college but ran out of money for parts/pieces when I was about 90% done with the primary part of the receiver.
Guns are somewhat simple to build, I started building race cars and race gearboxes about 3/4 way through college and I'm just getting back into building rifles now, I just don't have the time or patience to build AL gearcases from scratch so that some ham fisted rich boy can smash it against a guardrail and then tell me it was the car's fault.
Now I go racing with a couple close friends and enjoy the time around the cars and the smell of high octane, leaded fuels.
