You can learn many new tricks on youtube
A trip to onlinemetals in seattle for some scrap aluminum and steel to practice on is the first thing needed before you start machining on anything you want to keep. We need pictures or specs of your machine so we can decide how you will you use it

Talk to Randy at Benchmark Barrels in Arlington, he's getting busy and may need an apprentice. He makes some of the finest button pulled barrels available. Tell him Patrick at Questech sent you.

You can build a firearm without a permit. Just has to be your own design and you cant sell it. ATF says so.

Quoted:

Please learn more before posting a statement. I suggest starting with Title 18 Sec 922(r) which states (r) It shall be unlawful for any person to assemble from imported parts any semiautomatic rifle or any shotgun which is identical to any rifle or shotgun prohibited from importation under section 925 (d)(3) of this chapter as not being particularly suitable for or readily adaptable to sporting purposes except that this subsection shall not apply to (1) the assembly of any such rifle or shotgun for sale or distribution by a licensed manufacturer to the United States or any department or agency thereof or to any State or any department, agency, or political subdivision thereof; or (2) the assembly of any such rifle or shotgun for the purposes of testing or experimentation authorized by the Attorney General. Basically this states that non importable rifles cannot be built with imported parts which the ATF classifies as more than 10 imported parts per weapon. In the case of a total build from the ground up you are looking at not manufacturing for sale any legal weapon in the US. The law specifically states that as long as it complies with the 68 GCA and the 34 NFA you can build it as long as it is not for sale. |

Thats what I meant.
From scratch... That better? I'll make all the false comments I want thank you very much.  ETA: And obviously, if one is using parts from an imported or otherwise kit than it wouldn't be of their own design now would it, genius? |

I have italicized them just to be perfectly clear why you are fucking up #1 It Does NOT have to be "your own design" #2 You CAN sell it. You cannot manufacture it with intent to sell. Notice the distinction? #3 THe ATF does not motherfucking say so. You are making shit up and running with it. F U C K I N G S T O P I T ! Clear enough....genius? |

Since when did a post require complete legal accuracy??
Doesn't matter what me or anyone else says its up to the individual to know the law. But i'm glad I gave you the opportunity to flaunt your obviously vast superior intellect and understanding of the law(as your title suggests). You obviously enjoy it.

A Dremel comes in pretty handy, especially for fluting a barrel.

I just hate seeing bullshit spread as the truth. Let me go over a few here that would probably be closer to making you say wtf. The original bullet for the m16 was designed to tumble in flight, making it more deadly. Racking a shotgun will scare away bad guys. Bird shot is perfectly fine for home defense. The bullet from an m16 rises as it leaves the barrel and that is why the zero is the same at 25 meters as it at 300. I could go on and on. When people pass this stuff off someone who does not know might believe it and then pass on that bullshit since they learned from someone who made a statement and therefore knew what the fuck he was talking about. When it deals with the law making a statement as the gospel truth can get someone in trouble for believing you.

Allow me to digress! Go to Harbor freight and get some lathe bits, 3/8ths style. Then get a feeler gauge set, one with a screw that you can disassemble.
Go to Cal Bag metals in Tacoma down off exit 137 and get some round aluminum or brass scrap. Center up your cutting tools on the round stock using the feeler gauges and start playing around at a low speed. Wear short sleeved shirts, remove rings, watches and wristbands. Read the manual and learn how to set the gears to thread, learn how to part watching youtube videos. Once you can make cuts and threads on brass/aluminum stock, move on to steel. The HF bits are cheap and you can blow through a lot of them on the learning curve. I have that same model and that is how I taught myself. |

It is falling, due to sight offset you are aiming up to compensate but you knew that already. That doesn't just make your blood boil when you have an entire platoon of impressionable joes who are going to hold on to that little tidbit of knowledge and pass it on when they are teaching new joes? Fight the power of stupid! |

Yeah, I knew why. Just like at basic I also tried to tell my DS that my rifle kept FTEing and subsequently double feeding every other round because the extractor spring was worn out, asked to swap it out with one from a backup rifle at the range to only get lectured on how one cannot interchange bolt parts on the M16, even just a spring. To which I replied whilst being an annoyed smart ass "well you have no idea what you are talking about, drill sergeant." As you can imagine that went over well and after 30 minutes of the low crawl across the gravel road I proceeded to "swapping" the spring with someone who was cleaning their rifle and already qualified and tada, it worked like a charm.

Would a local com college or tech school have decently priced courses. I've always wanted to take an advanced welding course to play with all the different equipment.

Decent prices are in the eye of the beholder.
Usually, the welding or machining classes are full of folks going for certificates for completing the program. I don't know if there will be "advanced" stuff at your local CC, but find out who teaches there (easy enough to find on the Clark College website, don't know about local to you) and send them an email. Worst thing that could happen is they ignore you. |
