I Built an AR-15 in My Kitchen
BTTT
Then explain the raid on Ares Armor in San Diego last year. ATF does what it wants, the same as Obama.
Big deal.
Let us know when you build one in your bathroom.
How about building some SS109/M855 5.56 bullets in you kitchen? Without those, you built a nice paper weight.
"No, honey, I like my potato pancakes on the al dente side. The rawer the better. Yum. Heh, heh. Heh."
The guy keeps an accurate mill/drill in the kitchen? The holes in the lower receiver have to be measured to within .003” from a reference point in a coordinate system that is quite accurately registered with the receiver body. The holes need to be perpendicular to the body. A hand drill won’t do that job. I smell a hit piece.

It’s not as easy as getting a drill and a jig.
this looks like a better option:

“I Built an AR-15 in My Kitchen”
And you decided to tell the world...
“you didn’t build that.”
Easily done with the jig he bought.
I've never seen one of those before. That is pretty neat.
Still, all of that is a far cry from actually building a weapon from scratch. My long-term objective is to scratch build everything, including the barrel. It won't be an AR15 since that is actually way beyond a scratch build in a manual shop.
Not goin' there.
Yeah, someone just pointed that out to me. Yet, that is still not building a weapon from scratch. It makes a weak argument against, gasp, how easy it is to build weapons in the home. Take away all of the manufactured parts and those folks would have nothing at all. Technically, it is still a factory made weapon.
AR’s are cheep now. He doesn’t say how much he paid for all the parts but I would imagine it was a lot more than a stock Bushmaster, Delton, Core, S&W or whatever.
And that’s not including his time and the cost of correcting mistakes.
Why not let people who use CNC machinery and know what they’re doing do it? So he can say he built an AR in his kitchen?
What are you talking about? I've put 5,000 rounds through my AR and not one was an 855 round. Just plain, old, buy it by the ton at Wal-Mart, .223/5.56 ball ammo.
I’ll give you the ATF logic, but do not agree with the ATF policy.
Ares Armor was selling “two tone” resin lower unfinished receivers (80% blanks). The black parts were be left and the colored parts were to be milled out. This showed the citizen who was going to finish the lower receiver EXACTLY what needed to be removed. Apparently, the ATF thought that was too much help to the end user and pushed the receiver beyond the 80%.
Again, their logic, not mine.
You are going to build a barrel? Well we know you can grow some good weed for sure. You should do a Youtube on why you should not smoke dope.
