Taken its rather sketchy condition into considertion, I think .223mm would be a suitable caliber - I mean, you don't need a whole lot of powder to move such a microscopic projectile, so chances are you'd actually survive firing it.

Back in the UK before the pistol ban. My local gunsmith received a brand new S&W revolver from the factory. The barrel was solid, it missed an entire process. The barrel had never been bored.
@@neonman54 5.56 is the measurement in millimeters. .223 is the measurement in inches. You're right about the higher pressure loads, but the point we were making is that the labelling of ".223mm" would have the bullets be thinner than lead for a mechanical pencil.

Remember, it comes from a man who reviewed Khyber Pass guns, and Chinese Mystery Guns.
And this says a lot!
And the North Vietnamese and Pusan Works M1911s
And Zimbabwe hand-made poachers' guns.
And the Catalan Anarchist pistol: the Isard.

I love your description man. The whole way through. I work on anything with a spark plug basically. Of course fixing the issues is a pain and all the good spirits go away while doing the work (you end up hating whoever butchered it in the first place) but to see how hard someone worked to just do it so wrong lol it never gets old to me. I got a delta drill press with some harbor freight bits and a rotary air tool with a set of cheap amazon burrs, not one clear workbench in sight and i bet i couldve done a better job hahaha
I can silently hear the Martini-Henry pistol cheering in the background.
That looks like a presentation piece compared to this fiasco!
dont you hear an ziploc .22 ? xD

Lest we forget all the Colt 1911 copies!
Whoever bodged this...thing...together managed to out-Khyber the Khyber Pass artisans. And not in a good way...they don't have access to parts kits. I'm surprised no airsoft parts ended up on this thing. Better check the grip for a motor housing.

I imagine it would consist of a bunch of middle east cave built guns, literally anything from cobray, and the colt double eagle...
There is no concept about small armd gun smithing in middle east with some exception in the west Bank with home made sub machine guns out of necessity and it called "Carlo guns"
I follow another UA-camr that basically bought an AK factory and does 'Cursed Gun Memes'. He owuld agree that this is a weapon best forgotten.

i love how ian generously assumes a dremel where i am imagining an angle grinder
Disc diameters are way different. Not going to watch the vid again but I am sure I saw marks from a 4" cut off wheel and some smaller 1/2" marks made by something small. Idk
Best I can do is vice and a hand file.
The cut on the barrel looks like they made it with the edge of a hard stone
thinking the same thing too.
I've done enough terrible angle grinder metal work myself (though smart enough not to go anywhere near my guns with it!) and those really look like angle grinder marks to me. If it was just a dremel that did all that damage it must have had a damn fat cutting wheel and a damn drunk operator
That gas block ejection is a special tactical feature. For when you run out of ammunition you can just shoot the front end of your gun at the threat.

How though? You're out of ammunition.
It can also launch even more projectiles if a bullet fires before its seated properly in the receiver

Holy cow, imagine being the "gunsmith" who built this. Now imagine one of the most respected firearms researchers of our time, who has seen literally thousands of firearms, makes a video just to shit all over your craftsmanship. This whole video had me laughing my head off, but particularly, "It's like someone started this project badly, and someone else finished it worse." And the part where he was literally at a loss for words.. lmao. By God, that man had a family!!
It’s a resto-mod of a de-activation, popular in the 90’s, kits were punted around in soldier of fortune / Guns ‘n Ammo magazine for a couple of bucks
The best part was near the end
"...If you built this gun, just please stop, pl-please stop. Don-don't do this to anyone else..."
the "gunsmith" who patched this up is probably using stones as hammers. it feels unfair for said golden boy to discredit this tool. whom maker perhaps defended his village from the Taliban...

Hey now to be fair, Joe-Bob didn't do it by himself. His aunt-sister-wife Methany helped him.
Gas block shoulder to muzzle were turned down with a 1" belt sander. I've seen this move several times with home builds.
Dremel discs are to expensive to the master gunsmith who created this thing
"And the entire gas block assembly went downrange." Okay we're off to a good start.
"Shot missed but the gas block hit the bad guy in the nuts and incapacitated him - success!"
The fact that they didn't check out the gun before going to the range shocked me.
My theory, is that it’s from a hometown “make a gun” competition and speed happened to be key
My theory is it was someone who wanted a .223 AK, but didn't have any gunsmithing experience, but did have a bunch of tools, so he slapped that together with the mindset of "It's an AK, so it'll be fine".
Damnit, son, I told you to pick two of {good, fast, or cheap}, and fast 'n' cheap was the wrong choice.
@@TheLichruler If you don't know how to build a .223 AK, why not just buy a factory model rather than ruining your existing gun? There are several nice options on the market... 😕
I'm all for teaching children gun safety, gun use, and gun smithing skills and bringing them into the 2nd Amendment community, but children should be SUPERVISED when handling firearms! I think that was the missing step here! 😨
@The Infidel most civilized countries allow children to hunt and compete with firearms if properly licensed and supervised. 16 for hunting and 14 for sports shooting here in Portugal. The cause for the mass shootings are not the guns, it's education and mentality. Plenty of high gun ownership countries without mass shootings every fortnight.

@@spikespa5208 actually, needles are about 0.5-1 mm...
.223 is the same diameter as 5.56. I believe that the powder loads are different though
@@neonman54 5.56 is the measurement in millimeters. .223 is the measurement in inches. You're right about the higher pressure loads, but the point we were making is that the labelling of ".223mm" would have the bullets be thinner than lead for a mechanical pencil.
