I know this is going to sound a little crazy but I want to build my own gun. Not from parts but from solid steel (with perhaps a few exceptions where it makes sense). I have a friend with machine shop that I am allowed to use as long as it doesnt interfere with his business so equipment is more than likely not to be an issue.
I am looking for advice from similarly insane people who might have done this or something close at some point. Also, any kind of software or books or other resources that would make the design and planning process easier would be more than appreciated.
If it helps at all, the goal of this particular project is a semi-automatic shotgun with a receiver thats a bit shorter than most current production guns. I would also like to make it box fed but one thing at a time for now.
