I want to make my own rifle /k/ I have access to a metal shop. I'm not too familiar with the machines or the exact science of fire arms. I just know how to shoot them and take them apart to clean them. I want to make a .50 bmg rifle. Suggestions? Tips?
How many dogs have you shot?

sincere suggestion. Don't
seriously you can hurt yourself something fierce if you make a simple mistake. Start with .22 at least and read up on laws for making your own firearms. I'm pretty sure its legal
Ive been reading this book to help me. Bill Holmes book .50 Caliber Rifle Construction Manual. I'm trying to teach myself AutoCAD(terrible idea) so I can 3d model all the parts first

That's not a bad idea. I want to make an XM 8 like model so it wouldn't be too terrible to make it in .22 first and then go to 7.62x39 then .50bmg. I'm really excited to make something with my own hands

>I want to make a .50 BMG
Don't, make a 9mm or something, machine yourself a sten, but make it all completely legal, we wouldn't want to do anything to upset big brother.

Even 9mm exerts something like 30,000 PSI on the inside of the chamber. Many professionally made firearms from the 1800s would explode if you used modern ammunition in them, and their makers knew significantly more than you do about gunsmithing. I would sincerely recommend you take a class or two before embarking on your elaborate suicide plot.

Then don't

dear jesus, please let that be a real letter love anon

With good quality steel it shouldn't be a problem, if sandniggers in gaza can do it then anyone can

Except people without the ability to rifle barrels, chamber barrels, fit barrels, form sheet metal, and make trunions
They're making it from parts kits, not full guns
Start with shotguns, the chamber pressures are lower, so you'll be less likely to lose a hand. Also, they're not rifled. That takes specialized machines.

That's cool man, I didn't know about those thanks
>>30149791
Hey I really appreciate you telling me this stuff. I had no idea. What kind of classes are available? I'm not gonna be milling or cutting these pieces myself. I'm not even allowed to use the machines at the shop by myself (bc I'm not a member and bc I haven't taken the safety classes which you have to be a member to take)

Protip: Learn the basics of how to use machine tools first. That way you'll see for yourself just how out of your league making guns from scratch is.

Shotguns huh? You wouldn't happen to have a cad file of one with all the working parts would you? And links to some resources to help guide me? I appreciate it anon
>>30152148
Well I've been a big firearms fan for my entire life. Grew up shooting my .22 Remington pump action in the backyard and at snakes. I really want to learn how to make a working firearm. I want to be able to make a functioning one from my own design one day. I'm all about learning how to do this. Any links you can provide to put me in the right direction is much appreciated.

>doesn't even have basic machine safety courses
>is planning to build a gun
This will be interesting.
