Ammo Is The Choke Point and expect that to be exploited further (see CA and ammo background check upheld).

The DIY gun community has begun to look at surrogate ammo and will likely come up with solutions; eventually.

There was even one for blackpowder, .314 Atlas and look at the immediate media shit fit -

https://www.wired.com/2014/11/atlas-314-3-d-printed-guns-bullets/

In the interim though -

Pick your caliber(s) and stock it as deep as you can, make sure .22LR is one of them (easy to fabricate quick DIY gun for). Consider reloading so you can replenish your centerfire supply (you need to add primers, powder & shot). Cases for low pressure loads like .38SPL can be reloaded up to 10X w/o annealling and if you anneal them, many more times. So if you have 100 cases reloaded 10 or more times -

1 lb. powder = 1,200-1500 rounds .38SPL (easy to store)

1200-1500 primers (easy to store)

1200-1500 projectiles (heavy but easy to store)

(.38SPL revolver keeps the cases inside gun until you eject them, easy to retain them after firing.)

All of the above fits it a 10" x 6" x 4" box!

Oh, and those .22LR? They can be reloaded too -

Interesting times kids, let's keep that DIY gun horse out of the barn.

So in essence, still in effect.

CA is the prototype for the rest of the country regarding guns.

(was a lurker, decided to hop in) This is a good summary man, there should also be a guide that lists some of the jigs, drill presses, and mini-mills available for cutting and drilling. Tooling can get expensive.

Nice man. I've finished an 80% before for a pistol build, used a jig. I tried using a drill press with a milling jig one time and did plunge cuts. But the floor turned out a little gross in the receiver's main cavity. I'm debating investing in a mini-mill for doing it again and might try to do a form 1 supressor build.

Well done clammy. Add this one for inspiration on what can be done with a little motivation and simple tools -

https://homemadeguns.wordpress.com/

Also, recall the original Liberator and its reason for being -

It was originally intended as an insurgency weapon to be mass dropped behind enemy lines to resistance fighters in occupied territory. A resistance fighter was to recover the gun, sneak up on an Axis occupier, kill or incapacitate him, and retrieve his weapons.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FP-45_Liberator

Other forums of note -

www.weaponsguild.com (excellent forum, Mark Serbu is a regular poster there)

www.homegunsmith.com (spurts of activity but pages & pages of completed projects)

http://www.hi-vel.com/Catalog_Index/catalog_index.html (fun stuff everyone should know about if you have a flare gun)

I'll think of more...

edit, more: https://www.chaszel.com
