It is possible to manufacture at home a submachinegun with parts purchased from the local hardware store. of course to do this is illegal, nevertheless, observe the .45 cal M2 " grease gun". The entire gun is made of stamped sheet metal with the exception of the barrel/ reciever and the bolt. The barrel/ reciever is just steel tubing, sized to accept the .45 acp round, simple enough to make with a drill press and taper reamer. The bolt has a fixed firing pin, simplicity itself , can be made from a finishing nail. The bolt can be laid up from fender washers secured on a 1/4 20 bolt, drilled to accept the firing pin. The recoil spring can be purchased, or made from .20 ga piano wire. The upper amd lower recievers can be cut with a jigsaw and metal blade from 20 ga steel rectangular tubing. Any fairly competent home handy man could make one in .45 or 9mm in just a few evenings... will they now outlaw hand tools?? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The above are the opinions of myself and not those of my employer or anyone else " SIC SEMPER TYRANIS " -John Wilkes Booth
