Re: Ghost gun.
Interesting, but cheaper and quicker to build a 'ghost' AK from a flat receiver blank and a parts kit.....

Give a man a gun and he can rob a bank.....give a man a bank and he can rob the world!.
More than a vested interest in 7.62x54r!

But would it need as much hand fitting as the usual PoS shoved out from a factory?
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

The response to "control", circumvention! Love it!

Not hard to guess the 'tards at Defense Distributed were going to be involved before reading the article

In my head this is what I thought this thread was going to be about 
The above post probably contains sarcasm or some other form of attempted wit, please don't take it to heart.

Re: Ghost gun.
I don't get how it's even newsworthy ( I don't mean on this website - but rather why the media are interested)?
In the US a firearm can be self manufactured (tho not sold|transferred) and has been permissable since like forever - so all we're talking about is the method of manufacture - so, why the interest?
I can only presume because the barrier to entry is now really really minimal, though you need a 1500 mill to do it (in this specific example)
But then, an 80% lower is available to anyone already and can be finished without a mill.
I guess one thing it shows is that just like the UK, US gun law is at time's stupid.

Re: Ghost gun.
In America AR15 uppers have no serial numbers but the lowers have to have seriall numbers put on by the manufacturer. You can buy an upper ie barrel and bolt group put it on a home made unserialised lower and you have a ghost gun
