A pistol? Nope, no bag of worms at all as long as you don't put a
shoulder stock on them. If you're building your own custom short pistol
buffer that makes it pretty clear a standard shoulder stock isn't going
on it. No vertical grips on the front either, so ideally use a style of
handguard that doesn't lend itself to that, like a basic round one vs. a
quad rail.
Not a bag of worms but certainly a flame thrower.

Careful not to cross the alphabet boys here. You can't convert a rifle
into a pistol. You have to start with areceiver that was never on a
rifle. Don't know if the rule is activiely enforced, but it is there.

FWIW, I think the AK makes a better pistol, no large buffer tube
sticking back. real cheap build too.

They WOULD be fairly easy to build dies and stamp out the parts for.
How many k should I make per run?


BTDT. The laser malfunctioned at my son's job and a huge pile of flats
fell out. I bought the bending die from AKbuilder.com

if you're serous, I have the .dxf of the flat.

I have to go hunt up some steel and make a few flats to have on hand.
Getting hard to find the good stuff locally with the mafia don in Albany....

I can say that if you could stamp them out you could likely sell
everything you can stamp. I know a bunch of folks looking right now.
