Hug a Thug. Nothing a Liberal loves more even on here is feeling sorry for a gang banger.

Looks awesome. Does it come with a moa guarantee

I am sure that it will be accurate to "MILE of angle" right out of the box..

[LowbanksArcher]

Publishing those welds for all to see is punishment enough

Let's let them finish putting it together and let Darwin sort it out. We'll see how many fingers get blown off all at once.

[Fox]

Because the jails aren’t big enough !!!

You keep your AR and they will make room for you I am sure.

Right out of the hood, no box required

Would someone, a little more versed on the technical aspect of a "firearm", please enlighten me? I'm not defending the guys who were obviously up to no good trying to build this, but I don't see a receiver that will make a bullet go BANG? Would a good lawyer, well versed on the technicalities of just what constitutes a firearm, not have this thrown out of court? What am I missing?

It must fire a projectile over 500ft/s. Not sure that would meet the criteria

To meet the definition of a firearm, it does not have to exceed 500 FPS. Muzzle velocity only dictates whether the firearm must be registered, and a firearm licence is required. A 400 FPS pellet gun is still a firearm, for purposes of the criminal code, such as dangerous use, point firearm, etc....it is exempt from the regulatory sections of the Firearms Act...From the CCC....
firearm means a barrelled weapon from which any shot, bullet or other projectile can be discharged and that is capable of causing serious bodily injury or death to a person, and includes any frame or receiver of such a barrelled weapon and anything that can be adapted for use as a firearm; (arme à feu)

They were only in the process of building it and probably are not good at following instructions.

You can find several in depth Youtubes that will go into fine detail.
Instructions on slam fire shotguns etc. I'm not going to post the Youtubes as I might get in trouble on here for that.
