      A lot of the problems on the Krink are very common mistakes for first time machine shop students. I know from experience as I have made similar mistakes back when I was in school. For example the guy didn't change out the grinding wheel which caused grinding marks on the part. And the barrel not being completely concentric is caused by not properly holding onto the part on lathe.

You could completely remove the lugs, or just leave the bolt out altogether far easier/much faster, if that were the case. Them grinding/filing the back of the lugs until the bolt would close, tells me they fully intended someone to fire that thing. That *someone* may or may not have been themselves, but they definitely planned for that thing to have real ammunition loaded into it, and the trigger to be pulled. I'm not sure how many times they planned on that to occur, but we know they intended it to happen at least once lol

      Yeah, the Australian gun laws are Next level. I did all my shooting post ban, but my Dad worked for the department of agriculture, and so we had access to a pretty massive arsenal, and a requirement and ammo budget to be proficient in their use. even access to the really restricted stuff like semi-auto rifles and 12 gauges. I quickly became a better shot than him, and so got subcontracted any time he needed to do any shooting. tough gig. I think its pretty sad 99.9% of my peers would have no idea how to butcher anything, let alone cure a skin. meat comes from a polystyrene tray, right? for years we had to hide our afternoon adventures from my mum, because guns are bad. but Ive some excellent memories of sitting by a creek with my Dad, a few bacon wrapped rabbits on a spit. and as time went on, we were allowed to actually use the kitchen, and I got a pretty dab hand at doing rabbit up for the pot. Thai green curry defiantly was the family favourite, the coconut milk really works with the lean meat, but I also got a few good recipes from my Gran, who was delighted that rabbit was on the menu and more than happy to show me how its done. "Better in the pot than in the paddock", wise woman. I've tried to bag Bunnies with a bow, but the little shits are just to twitchy.
