BTW, just curious, are you a regular on any of the three groups this
thread is crossposted to, or did you do a global search for gun
arguments?

Since it looks like you would be an expert source on the subject, do
you think that someone could make nearly all of an AK-47 using only a
handsaw and files?

I don't know about expert source, but it would seem to me to be quite
difficult to drill the barrel with only a handsaw and files.

Is the barrell the only item that would be a problem? What about
springs? Would the tight fit tolerances among the various parts be
difficult to achieve?
