Outstanding account of how to build a gun in a hurry., May 6, 2005
Full marks to Mr Luty for this excellent book. He succeeds entirely in describing how to build a simple machine gun using basic and commonly available tools and materials, and this makes for a great academic source for understanding the realities of what a "firearm" really is & how counterproductive extreme firearms laws can be. Would this book exist if the UK laws weren't so ridiculously excessive? Not according to the author.

The project is clearly minimalist & therefore won't entirely satisfy those who want a paint-by-numbers approach to a beautifully finished weapon, but that's nothing that a little imagination, Gun-Kote finish & some wood or resin grips wouldn't resolve.

My sympathies to the author for the harsh price he is paying for completing this book. He was jailed for being in possession of the gun that he built, & after his release he published the www.thehomegunsmith.com (http://www.thehomegunsmith.com/) website (presently offline) for which he is currently being charged with "conspiracy to supply firearms" by the police (as of Feb 2005; see http://www.ncc-1776.com/tle2005/tle3...50403-02.html) (http://www.ncc-1776.com/tle2005/tle313-20050403-02.html%29).

I'm sure we used to have the right to free speech over here in England because I read it somewhere. Or was that banned as well?
