You can make them for yourself but not for others. Legal, I believe so, dangerous yes. Why not just build a AK?
Because walking into a bar with half my fingers blown off one hand makes a funny story.
Acquired a few AR parts recently: Colt A2 upper and 20" 1/7 twist barrel, Noveske 14.5" barrel with vortex flash hider, stripped AR lower.
Plans for the Noveske barrel: I'll remove the Sabre Defence 18" fluted barrel from my Noveske upper, and replace it with the Noveske barrel, turning the rifle into a "true Noveske" carbine.
Plans for the A2 upper/barrel: Once I've acquired A2 handguards and a rifle-length gas tube, I'll use it as a quick-swap option for my Rock River AR with the 20" Bushmaster Hbar barrel. Eventually, I'll probably get another lower receiver (hopefully a Colt) and A2 buttstock to make it a complete rifle similar to what I carried during my years of military service (minus, of course, the 3-rd. burst option.).
As far as the lower goes, I really don't have any definite plans at this time. Maybe do an SBR, or just keep it for when Obama (or Romney) wins in November, and these types of things may become unavailable. Another idea might be to match it to a Stag Arms left-handed upper, for my son when he's older.
Hey fellas, long timey no talkie. Hope everybody's doing well. I have a mega highspeed Sears M200. It's a real SPECOPS piece. It has a five round max, one in the pipe and four in the tube. I've been looking for a mag extension for it without much luck. Does anyone know if there is one available for it?
Thanks
Doc, IIRC the Sear M200 is a Winchester 1200 version. You're gonna find several differences
Trigger housing is imcompatible as well as stock, forend

Hey, thanks for the response and the info LineDoggie. I thought the 1200 was the same basically, but it's 20 gage? I think? I knew Winchester made it for Sears and it looks like the 7 round mag tube might work. I guess I'll have to do some more homework to be sure though.
Well, I finished one of the two book reviews that I have to do this weekend, had a Cuba Libre, and then got happy for an hour. Lower complete. Nootch.

Hey i'm wondering if I can get some help from you guys, because something i'm working on is a revolver, but i'm designing it from starch then once I finalize the design i'll get parts manufactured.
But I have a problem being, the sizing what i mean is i've never own a revolver before and I don't have a gun shop close to me i can go to and get some measurements. The reason this is a problem for me is if the sizing it wrong i'll get an off sized revolver which i don't want also a few other things.
So what i'm asking if for a picture that shows general dimensions like handle size, total length, height, and width. Thats really all i need because for some reason I'm having trouble finding that and i'm sure someone here has a revolver they can get measure for me. Also if possible measurements for a .357 would be preferred.
As for how i'm doing the internals for the trigger and hammer, i'm just going to base it roughly off of revolvers from early 1900's, because they are a bit more simple.
Also ya i'm crazy for doing this but I figure why not, because if it works then i have the coolest firearm you can own, one you make yourself.
Each person is different. The easiest thing to do is to try them on for size. Also helps if you have friends that shoot and will let you try theirs. Ergonomics is probably propriety information. I don't know if we have any members who work designing firearms.
Ya I know but like I said not many gun shops near me since i'm in down town Chicago and don't have a car. Thou the best i can do is make a simple wood model, which i really don't want to do since that can take forever or very little time, you just never know when going into something like that.
But at least with a general size i can form a good design then get it modeled it wood to check the shaping and size, thou that different from the simple model of the handle I don't want to do, since this one would be done with precision and cost money.
where can i find more information on this?
Try BATF. They have a site. Also the AR sites and AK site have information on building kits.
