Soda Cans Prohib Next?

[8x68]

This is exactly what the RCMP lab is talking about. Soooo many guns can be modified by anyone with a couple of tools in your back yard.

Hello RCMP...I'd like to register my 80% can of coke please!

With those tools, why bother melting the cans? Just machine the lower out of aluminum bar stock.

 

[DVX]

Easily yes if you have the tools and skills !

Same with guns that can be made "automatic"... Need the tools and skills, but according to the lab, can be "easily converted to full auto"..

To prove a point, that's why.

Yup "easily convertible".

Now I really feel bad about giving my empties to the Scouts. I had no idea I was being so reckless with my Restricteds.

I hope nobody got hurt.

By the same token, 2x6 pine lumber and nails would be restricted too. Just saying.

I'm going to start saving up my empty beer cans. My serial number will be Molson00001

You don't even need skills!

If this was done in canada, it is worth a few years in jail....

Couldn't stop laughing the whole time while watching it.
Good on him; because he 'CAN'.

A few hundred aluminum cans, $50k+ worth of equipment and time on your hands.

Take a piece of styrofoam and cut it to the shape of the AR lower. Place the styrofoam in a bucket of sand. Dump molten aluminum cans on the sand. The styrofoam will melt way but a raw forging to smooth out with a drill and router will fill in the area the styrofoam was. Poor mans sand casting. The film industry does the same thing to make a fake gun.

You can but Ghost Gunner and if you got a lower close enough you can finish the rest.

Let's put this guy head to head with the "AK-47 from a shovel" guy.... OR! Team them up!

When casting in sand you want to fill from the bottom.

The man has some expensive machining toys but as we all know... a bit of time, a basic mill and some creativity and you can build anything.

Files and time is all you need. Look at the stuff coming from the Kyber pass, or the forests of the Philippines. Some of that is made with practically nothing.

This is why the UK system makes way more sense to me. Lowers are considered the "gun" part of the gun here, and are controlled, while you can just buy an upper. In the UK, it's the other way around. Reason being, you can make a lower with some tools and mechanical knowledge, but it's much harder to home-make any pressure bearing parts without a proper machine shop and materials.
