1/2 scale AR15...

I sure hope so!

Next time I need an oddball replacement part I'm going to see if this guy is ready for his next project.

 

[T.Lex]

While the actual project is REALLY cool and this guy is REALLY good at what he does... I can't help but think he has WAY too much time on his hands.

 

[Bigtanker]

This is amazing. No CNC machine either. Wow.

 

[THE BIG SITT]

Interested in hearing what the ATF responds to his pistol clarification. [STRIKE]Did I miss where he said what rounds it would use?[/STRIKE]

Never mind, he said it will be chambered in .17 HM2. Can't wait to see a finished product.

I think that of a few folks here :-)

If I had those types of skills (and the machine tools to do it) I'd love to do something like that. Closest I have been contemplating as a woodworker is doing a wood-laminate lower.

A laminated wood lower would be wonderfully unique.

As for me, once I saw the Turnbull TAR-15, I decided I needed to make my own custom wood AR furniture....but it hasn't happened yet. Something like this, only I will probably do it with an A1 configuration:

I thought the same thing... I have the tools... and if I really wanted to put in the time I could do that too... but seriously... that guys has to be a retired guy with NOTHING to do for him to be doing that...

I'm young, full-time job, homeowner with lots of projects to accomplish... it would take me well over a year to do that and that's if I prioritized it at the top of my "would like to do" list...

 

[Jeepsandguns]

That is so cool. Can't wait to see the finished gun!

 

[Tanfodude]

Damn....

 

[GunSlinger]

Amazing skills. Thanks for sharing!

 

[Squib]

I can zip up my fly!

CNC machines really wouldn't help him unless he had a pre-written program! It would take much longer to write a program than to machine one part. CNC's shine when there are multiple (same) parts to be made.

Neat project and nice writeup. Seems like he is really a pretty skilled toolmaker!

While he is busy being amazing and making an epic contribution to gun culture, lets all re-hash the 9mm Vs. 45 debate.

A true craftsman in action. Thanks for the link.

Don't forget the Glock's suck and 1911's rule debate!

I am working on my machining skills but I doubt I will get ever get to his level. He is just flat out impressive!

I was blessed today as I got to hold a Glock 18.
You all know I am no Glock Fanboy but an 18..........

 

[1911ly]

You did wash your hands afterword right?? I have a Glock 30 I keep around just to remind me how cool my 1911 really is.

 

[Hookeye]

The patience of Job.

 

[Khill]

really cool project. Thanks for sharing the link. It seems like he should have just made it a pistol and used a buffer tube with no stock. Then the barrel would be 1/2 scale. Really cool regardless.
