Can you machine a handgun from scratch? How dangerous is it?

You can, if you are a skilled machinist with blueprints it's safe. I wouldn't recommend it otherwise. I was a MR in the seabees, only one in my battalion, and got solid machining experience there. I worked for salient arms until the Vegas move as well.

maybe if youre a gunsmith. and you forgot to name this QTDDTOT

on a side note this is probably in the top 10 dumbest questions ive ever heard

REEEEEEE

>>27925201
Never said I was a smith, just a Shit hot machinist with tolerances given to me to make Glocks overpriced. Seriously, 2000 bucks for a coated kkm barrel some frame cuts, and polishing a factory trigger bar. I'm glad I'm putting in for my ffl.

>>27925177

No matter how much of a special needs child I am, if I test fire it remotely, what's the real risk?

>>27925202

this looks legit...

>>27925211
>garbage
>nagant

you're being redundant

>>27925235
what's the counter cost to learning the skills and access to tools?

>>27925292
Not much, but just because it fired a few times that way doesn't mean you won't have a catastrophic failure later after a few dozen rounds. Honestly just hit up gunbroker or armslist, a lot of 92fs just got auctioned by Italy and Mag release aside are pretty OK for price and can be modded. There is also Bersa or Star, if you have some money 80% 1911 kits or just a RIA 1911. If you just want it for shots and giggles search for zipgun blue prints

>>27924385
>Can you machine a handgun from scratch?
No. It's impossible. Handguns were never machined. Small children are sacrificed to the blood gods and handguns simply materialize from nothing. The cuter the kid, the better quality the gun. That's why Taurus handguns suck.

>>27925375
You can find a used mill for the same price as one of their pistols. I really didn't learn Shit at that shop, just kept from getting rusty. A mill, some calipers, a height gauge, rotary tool, punches, and chambering reamer is all
I used to make them. Stippling wise, just a soldering iron. So like $2,250 for all the tooling to make them, roughly under 400 for the pistol parts to mod a glock to be exactly the same minus gay logo and pimp (TiN) coating.

Kek, H&K has a surplus of Taurus owners children to oil their machines.

Greetings. My name is Patrick Bateman™, and I have contacted you for important matters.

I have taken notice to your post. It is of high quality™, but it's not the contents of the post that I'm interested by, it's the post-number.

Your post-number is unlike any other that I've ever seen. It is unique, as no other will ever obtain your distinct strand of numbers, but that is not the only unique thing about it.

Look at the numbers at the very end. Take a close look at them, and you might even realize it, too. Your post-number has ended in repeating digits, that is why I am contacting you.

I don't want to seem like a bother, as I understand that you're very busy crafting hundreds of quality™ posts such as the one I am replying to, but this is a matter more important than posts. It's a matter of life and death.

Here on /k/, it is the most important rule of all that repeating digits much be checked and kek'd, that is why I am contacting you. I am here to check and kek your repeating digits, for it is a matter of religious importance.

So, after all this patience and discussion, I will now check your repeating digits. Here I go: #Checked

Now that your repeating digits have been checked by me, it is now time for me to leave. I cannot spend all day checking your repeating digits, no matter how much I love them. The reason? More digits must be checked.

>>27925452
OH YEAH?! WELL AT LEAST I DON'T SPEND MY TIME SUCKING DICKS IN THE BATHROOM AT OLIVE GARDEN, YOU DIRTY ROTTEN LOWDOWN SLIMY FILTHY DISGUSTING GLUTTONOUS HOGLIKE MOTHER FUCKING COCK SUCKING SON OF AN INCESTUOUS PEDOPHILE SHEMALE RAPIST PROSTITUTE. GET YOUR MOM'S DICK OUT OF YOUR MOUTH. DO YOU KNOW WHAT I'M GONNA DO? I'M GONNA SHIT UP YOUR ASS. STOP FOR A MOMENT AND REALLY GRASP THAT STATEMENT. I AM LITERALLY GOING TO SHIT UP YOUR ASS. I WILL TAKE MY PANTS OFF, RIP YOUR PANTS OFF, OUR SPHINCTERS WILL TOUCH, AND I WILL SHIT. YOU WILL TRY TO COUNTERSHIT, BUT MY SPHINCTER WILL OVERCOME, AND I WILL PUSH A LOG OF SHIT FROM MY ASS UP AND INTO YOUR BODY. THIS IS WHAT SHALL OCCUR. YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE? I WILL PISS IN A POT. I WILL ADD CORNSTARCH TO THE PISS AND BOIL IT UNTIL IT GETS REALLY THICK, LIKE SAUCE. I WILL POUR THE THICKENED PISS INTO A PLASTIC CONTAINER AND PUT IT IN THE FRIDGE UNTIL IT HARDENS INTO A FIRM JELLO. I WILL THEN CUT IT INTO RECTANGLES, BATTER IT IN A MIX OF MILK, FLOUR, AND EGGS, AND DEEP FRY IT AT 375 UNTIL GOLDEN BROWN, FLIPPING ONCE SINCE THEY FLOAT. AND I WILL SERVE YOU MY DEEP FRIED PISS.

>>27924385
>Can you machine a handgun from scratch?
It is possible, yes.
>How dangerous is it?
Less dangerous than building a car from scratch. More dangerous than deep frying a turkey.

>>27925401
You fool. Around here they're forged in a mighty crucible fueled and heated by the undying rage of gun grabbing liberals being forced to read page after page of /k/.

Afterwards, an owner comes to choose the pistol that will be his for life.

Some say it's not the owner that chooses, but rather the pistol that chooses it's owner. After a short blood pact in which the owner must shoot himself in the hand, and drip the blood down the barrel, the eternal pact between weapon and wielder is complete. Rumor has if you're a true operator, you'll go through this part unscathed. There are many unworthy, hence why Taurus is so common.

There are major cottage industries of clandestine firearms productions in the Philippines and Pakistan. It's absolutely possible, yes.

Depends how good you want it to be. Just get a very thick pipe, strap it to a block of wood and drill a fuse hole. Bam. Nigger hand cannon. Don't be an idiot though. You could of course blow yourself up

>>27924385
the filipinos have gotten pretty good at making backyard 1911s

>>27924385
Yes.

If you have the knowledge to actually MACHINE one and not simply screw a couple pipes together and tape that to a board, perfectly safe.

How hard is it to make a rifle stock? I want to get one of those bolt action Rugers that are chamber in .357 or .44 magnum, but I don't like the synthetic stocks.

>>27929558
Harder than you would think. You need to use a hard wood for starters, also get yourself some expensive specific tools.

I don't think so, deep frying a turkey is way more fucking dangerous then machining a simple pistol.
At least with the pistol you get to safely test it from a distance as long as your not retarded,
with a turkey people think they can do it and fuck it up because they read online how to do it.
At least people assume guns are dangerous.

I don't know. Hard to say without a good sampling of data.

Okay guys, lissen, this year,instead of frying turkey for Thanksgiving, we should try to machine a handgun. We'll compare and contrast how many /k/ommandos manage to burn their homes and shops down in the process.

http://thehomegunsmith.com/pdf/Expedient-Homemade-Firearms-Vol-II-PA-Luty.pdf
Nobody on /k/ is going to tell you how to do something like this. The new owner is literally a gookike who datamines for money.

If you try this build, you'll want 3x as much raw material off the bat. You will mess up, it's ok, And remember, it's illegal to do this so only build it in a real life simulator.
Just wing it and go very slowly.

Wellp... looks like i'll never be an operator. My hands can't stop bullets.

This is something I am interested as well. There's a place nearby that sells memberships and gives access to lathes and cnc machines and such. Knowing that I was thinking of making a simple single (maybe double) action revolver as a project to keep me occupied. You think this would be possible for an amateur or would I just be making an expensive and time consuming hand grenade/ paper weight?
