I have seen what I’m pretty sure was a handmade Lee-Enfield rifle in a TX pawnshop, but these must have been stopped from import to the US by the 1986 National Firearms Act, right?
And my neighbor from the 1960s whose kids claimed to have made an entirely functional full auto Uzi in his backyard machine shop – they were lying, right?
