You just need to know people who can legally have guns like that in their possession. I know people from different states who travel around the states for gun shows. Depending on the state, and your dealer licensing you can own certain guns.

I gotta say I LOVE THIS SHOW!! I dont care about the scripting\editing I just like watching them build them. I'm a machinist and want to start building some guns while I have the epuipment at hand to do it. Just wish I could legally build some fully auto's.

This show makes me want to build "The Big 50" I found drawings for, but might start out small with a 10/22, but like I said wish I could build it full auto.

Make whatever you make have detachable recievers. A cop told me once its perfectly legal to own a full auto receiver as long as its not attached to a gun smile

I think i would have had some choice words with the boss when he shot an arrow out of the .410 - Thats about as smart as hitting a bullet with a hammer. eek

You must have not seen the episode where they made some ammo for a Japanese rifle? They had to fire the ammo into a 4x4 using a hammer type device. wink

I watched it, but they went to commercial in mid swing...and i missed it. I thought that hammer thing is to pull out the bullet without firing the round, but with older shells the impact can cause the shell to go off? They said there was a risk of the shell going off prior to the commercial and i just cringed when there was a guy's face right next to the 4x4 watching intently with only safety glasses on. eek

Not something i'd do for a measly paycheck. 2c

I thought the ak conversion was pretty interesting but I didn't see the point. There are already semi auto sniper rifles that can do what it could do. I thought they would want to be able to have the full auto capability of the AK for non sniper situations but that was not really addressed. I thought the point was or at least should have been to be able to convert between the typical AK role and long range accuracy shooting. Still it was pretty interesting. Good show for sure.

Does the bullet puller still fire the round? I don't think it's as dangerous as one might think to fire a round when it's not chambered in a weapon. Not that you will catch me doing it. Still seems scary.

Oh and exploding arrows. Pretty awesome! Reminds me of Rambo. Didn't he take out a Russian helicopter with one of those.

OK I just googled bullet pullers and no they don't fire the round. As stated above (sorry). I think they would

have you believe they do in that episode.

I think that the concept behind the AK sniper was to combine the accuracy of a sniper rifle with the durability of the AK, which is not known for it's accuracy whatsoever but is extremely dependable.

The arrow thing was neat but kind of a joke. Reminded me of the Dukes of Hazzard. Looked like a contrived challenge put on by the producers just like a lot of their little "projects" in the show. I guess there has to be some sort of story or watching them build regular ol' guns wouldn't be much worth watching. smile

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
