Just thought I'd share one the projects I'm working on off and on.

She is made from two 91/30 receivers which were torch cut, ground to dimension and then re assembled with the use of a tig welder and a jig.

Her barrel is around 4.5 inches (less than 2 inches of riffling) and is threaded to AK specification.

Still quite a ways to go before she has her broomhandle grip etc. but she is to the point where we can use her to make some rather beautiful fireballs.

Are you assuming that the receiver(s) having been torch-cut gets past the issue of a <26" "firearm made from a rifle" problem?
 
For the sake of this concept, let's just not spoil this thread by turning it into a legal paperwork discussion. Assume that unless the OP specifically states otherwise that he has already completed whatever requirements there are. Perhaps move it to the NFA section and add a disclaimer at the bottom?

I just want to see where this thing goes and what it looks like when the OP gets it finished. :evil:
 
The receivers were de-milled Per BATFE spec, with 1/4 inch of material being removed with each pass of the oxy acetylene torch.

the remnants (now no longer a firearm) were cleaned up with grinder, and the overlapping segments of two receivers were welded back together on a jig.

Its 100% legal. same as any re-weld which conforms to the BATFE regulations on receiver destruction.
 
I think its a small company in china, I ordered mine off ebay
 
O'Brez; is that like an Irish thing? ;)

Looks sick. Lemme know if you need a good plastic surgeon after touching the first round off :D

It'd be cool if there was a way to get a "Thompson Contender" (for lack of a better term) pistol grip to help with the ergos. You could still have a foregrip, too. But I guess it wouldn't quite be an Obrez at that point...:(

It actually has zero recoil... Just massive concussion from the muzzleblast

I don't manufacture firearms for sale or do any custom gunsmithing.

the only 07FFL I know of that has a set of jigs to reweld mosins into pistols and the licencing nececary for comercial sale is PRKarms in Fresno. (their operations manager and I have a friendly rivalry with regard to sawed off mosin's)
 
Ajax do you live in the central valley? I would be happy to offer my services to test the recoil claims for our fellow highroaders.

I'm down in Los Angeles actually,

I make it up to fresno every once in a while though.
 
I believe that firearm....

.........could be the end-all of all the (YAWN) " which handgun is best for bear?" threads.:neener:

Never realized how many marauding bears there were until I started reading gun threads.:rolleyes:
 
That's some sick stuff right there. The muzzle blast fills the entire frame and moves the target in the next lane! LOL Sick stuff alright but cool...
 
Now make a hip-holster for it and make a set with a full size Mosin.


... that is so .... that i actually love it!

:eek:
 
Amazing

I shoot a M/N shorty and I am amazed at the total lack of recoil compared to my carbine.

I have to ask,are you shooting full house loads ?.
