DIY: Shovel AK - photo tsunami warning!

[W.E.C]

He who lays down his sword and turns it into plow shares, will plow for those who don't.

Good job man !!!!!!

spartan quote:When asked why they put their fields in the hands of the helots rather than taking care of them themselves, Anaxandridas explained, "It was not by taking care of the fields, but of ourselves, that we acquired those fields

and Boris, I too am in total awe, can you share the barrel blank part / did you line bore and rifle it,and what did it take to mill the chamber?

one last thing ,how is Natasha doing?

Looks like Boris won the internet.

Yes he did and he earned it:

I bow to his resourcefulness. I have been one-upped, and I can think of no way to top that.
The Redneck Engineer is no longer the lowest common denominator when it comes to scrap yard gun building. I now hang my head in shame, and walk away salaaming to the builder's awesomeness.

This man will now live a life of dancing and song while having various women thrown at him, all the while living in Massachusetts.

I still can't believe ign a video game site linked this. I've been getting texts from random friends asking me if I new about it.

[Dench]

So that DU thread has one guy saying "this is why you cant ban guns" and the solution is "more gun control."

Um, whats "more gun control" going to do to stop home depot AK's? The guy went in a complete circle.

Barrel blanks come rifled. He had to form the chamber, crown, and profile it to get it into the front trunnion.
