Homemade AR lower forged from aluminum cans

[68Charger]

I've got a mill capable of this, but doesn't have DRO like that yet... need a lathe, band saw and shop space right now.

Currently doing demolition on 3rd house on my property here... anyone want to do a remodel job on a house in Canton? I was drafting an ad for the wanted section, but not finished...

Thank god for that.

Watched the whole thing. How cool. I like his safety gear while working with the Al.

BPTactical needs to see this! Assuming he hasn't...

Really taking it to another level there.

For that matter, why even mess with casting, when a raw forging is on sale?

Never done business with them, was just a quick web search

I think the point of the video is just to show that it can be done. If we're talking about the easiest way to get it done, why not just go buy a lower?

My thoughts exactly. The dude is a doctor & this obviously a hobby of his. He did it because he can basically. It would be cool to say I made an AR15 from beer cans that I even drank just like it would've cool to say I made this AK47 out of an old shovel.

This reminds me of the video where the guy turns a shovel into an AK receiver.

Makes a person appreciate the work involved.
Way beyond my shop's capability

Looks like he had fun doing this. I would have.
