If it's steel it can be welded together. I built a semi Uzi using a flat spot Uzi unit. Worked great. As does the Uzi. The guy makes a good product. A lot of the guys at the real weapons building sites have built AR's using flat spot receiver pieces. Don't knock it until you've tried it.
But this is GD where a lot of know nothings think they know something. |

I want to buy one and reverse engineer it. I can have it laser cut 100% out of stainless steel at work. Pre etch any design I want into the magwell.

Quote HistoryQuoted: That's what they claim. Fuzor huh? I'll check it out . Thanks. Would probably be nice to keep some around . Might get you out of a bind sometime. 3M panel adhesive is a genuine substitute for welding. To use it "right" you need the gun, but for a repair where you're going to use the whole tube anyway you can mix it up like jb weld and go to town. I have 13 year old repairs that are holding just fine, on a truck that sits outside every day. Also the best way to bond fiberglass or any polymer to steel. |

I don't know but seems like a good thing to check on and maybe have in the garage. Back when 3M Panelbond first came out I witnessed a demo from a rep where they took two 1/4 thick lifting lugs, glued them together overlapped about 2”, and then tore them apart using a frame bench. It tore the steel and the part that was bonded together was fine. I have no idea if gorilla glue would hold up, but there are definitely other products that are more than suitable for glueing together a kit like that. |

Woo-hoo!! I was hoping he’d do some more of these. Time for some improvised type builds. There were some really neat ones done here in years past. I really like those kinds of builds. I guess I find it inspirational to see what sorts of improvised parts people come up with. In light of the latest round of bullshit, it seems appropriate.
Also, using a MIG welder isn’t that hard. Having even a limited welding capability opens a lot of doors to homebuilding. |

You paid money for something you have now and you don't want to throw it away? You will be forced to get rid of it for the common good, or you will be prosecuted if you don't. That would require new legislation. The current change being proposed makes new production of 80% (and probably even 0% forgings) regulated firearms. People who currently own 80%/home made firearms aren't forced to do anything. But if a dealer touches your gun, they're required to serialize it and use their FFL# as part of the serial so ATF knows immediately where to start tracing it. |
