I Made an Untraceable AR-15 ‘Ghost Gun’ In My Office
You can all the parts but the receiver online. And computers do the rest:
Ghost gun still cracks me up. Also, did he say Bay Area? I think that might be illegal.

That looked like a 30-round magazine he was using. Just saying…

I saw a “bullet button”.
Also I bet it was a 10/30 mag.

Probably a David Gregory type moment set up piece. Forgot to tell the gunsmith what he was doing but the fact he was allowed to film San Francisco police officers while turning in his three fished receivers seems to suggest he obtained permits and permission. He also said he was going back to NY so why even travel to San Fran to do the piece? No where in fly over country suitable?

“…but before I put actual explosive rounds through anything I’d made…”
Dang. I’ve been missing out on those explosive 5.56mm rounds. Where can I get me some of those? Same gun stores that sell grenades?

Oooh a ghost gun. What a smuck. Where did he get his 30 cal magazine clip, and did he fire it at 2500 rpm?

4 larry: They’re at the gun show, over behind the machine guns and rocket launchers. Next to the beef jerky stand.

6. Matt, Oh do they have the California condor jerky?

Right next to the spicy spotted own and pickled eagle eggs.

I get my explosive 5.56 rounds from the ATF agents pretending to be a nazi’s at my gun show.
June 4th, 2015 at 2:41 pm
Larry: If the explosive charge is under an ounce it’s not a destructive device and not really regulated!
Go for it, if you can find a way to package it…

Writer also mentioned Chris Cheng. Was he (chris) aware of the legal issues involved?

There’s nothing new here, really. The fifteen hundred for the little CMC mill could get you a used, conventional milling machine, of the Bridgeport / J2 style, and Bob’s your uncle. That can be used to make any millable receiver or frame out of good steel as well as aluminum.
Since people have been able to make, and have been making, their own guns since the invention of firearms around five hundred years ago, nothing has changed significantly, other than the ability to communicate and thus trade plans more rapidly.
So whereas it may have taken you several days to a week or so to obtain blueprints, now it takes minutes. Big deal. And if you understand the simple operation of a firearm, you don’t really need blueprints to make one, unless you care a lot about its having parts interchangeable with other pre-existing firearms. Even then though; buy the parts and build the gun to fit them. No need, really, for exact blueprints in that case.
It’s still far easier and faster to buy one that’s already made, I bet, even without papers, so big woof.
The guy’s obviously and anti, and a bit of a sensationalizer, and a schmuck, so what’s new? If the point is that we’re surrounded by schmucks, well, consider it made.

Lyle, I’m more optimistic than you. The point is not that we are surrounded by schmucks, but that even a schmuck recognizes that the gun control regime of the Bay Area is a fabric of lies and even a schmuck can work around gun control easily and cheaply.

Mikee; good point. Thanks.

Am i the only one that sees the ghost gunner CNC machine as a potential business plan? Since you can’t have a CNC shop that rents out equipment to people, why not a portable CNC machine that can be taken to the house of a friend, so he can rent the machine from you at his house? Granted it would prolly require talking to a lawyer before renting one out, if you charge say $200 with a security deposit of $1500, you could even call it a purchase, and then buy it back from them after they are done, or if they keep it buy another one.

Lyle, what you failed to notice were the other two receivers turned out useless. The author was entirely too unskilled to craft those two correctly.
The CNC was “bolt down blank, press start” level of skills you need to bring to the table. That’s the innovation.
