Hey, if it’s going to be a felony to have an 80% lower, it’s time to just roll with a few things from the hardware store and some simple plans from Professor Parabellum to make your own Sten

Good to inow. ?

Did you know that if you have a 14.5″ Transferrable M16, it’s only one tax stamp?
You don’t have to have a stamp for the machinegun plus a stamp for the short barrel. The stamp adds it to the NFRTR, and that’s all that’s required.
So…literally….there’s no difference in having an unregistered semi-auto SBR and an unregistered full-auto SBR. It’s not even extra charges. It’s exactly one crime you’ve committed.

I keep wondering how much harder it is to complete a 0% lower (a.k.a., a block of metal) vs. an 80% lower. And also whether the former could be done on a Ghost Gunner machine. Or a Sherline — which has the added advantage of being clearly marketed as a hobbyist metalworking machine, not a “gun nut” machine.
It obviously takes quite a lot longer. It is bound to require additional tools, but things like end mills aren’t all that expensive. The key question is whether any required cuts can’t be made on a CNC milling machine such as these machines are.
I remember Arne Boberg mentioning that he built some of the prototypes of his XR9 compact handgun on a milling machine. Not a CNC machine, a classic manually operated one. I wonder how long it would take me to learn the skills to copy that trick.
