GB-22 Plan Update REDO

This video, hosted by firearm expert Brandon Herrera, delves into the world of improvised and 'cursed' firearms. Herrera, known for his technical analysis and manufacturing background, examines various homemade weapons from around the globe, highlighting the ingenuity and dangers associated with their creation. The content showcases conversions of common tools into firearms, designs inspired by iconic military weapons, and the crude yet functional construction methods employed by individuals circumventing gun laws.

This video demonstrates a straightforward cylinder swap on a Freedom Arms Model 97 revolver, allowing conversion from .45 Colt to .45 ACP. The process is shown to be quick and simple, requiring minimal tools. The presenter also shares chronograph data for Black Hills Honeybadger .45 ACP ammunition fired from the converted cylinder, highlighting the accuracy potential of the firearm in this caliber.

This video showcases a 5.56 hand-crank Gatling gun constructed using 3D printed parts and off-the-shelf AR-15 components. The creator highlights the affordability, costing approximately $1,200, with the majority of the cost attributed to AR-15 parts like barrels and bolt carrier groups. Plans for the 3D printed chassis are available for free online, with a few inexpensive proprietary components required from nopelyzero.com.

This guide details the process of replacing a standard AR-15 forward assist with a Forward Controls Design low snag model. The process involves removing the old roll pin and forward assist, then installing the new components using a roll pin punch. This modification enhances ergonomics and aesthetics.

This video demonstrates a gunsmithing technique for improving the surface finish of a Ruger Wrangler hammer using a surface grinder. The process involves flattening the MIM (Metal Injection Molding) hammer's surface to remove waviness and achieve a crisp, flat appearance. It highlights the necessity of both machine grinding and subsequent handwork with sandpaper to achieve a uniform, polished finish that enhances the firearm's overall character.

This guide details the installation of the Law Tactical Wrap, a 1913 rail adapter plate designed for use with the Law Tactical E.R.C. The process involves disassembling the wrap, preparing the lower receiver, attaching the wrap and its nut, and carefully installing the E.R.C. bolt carrier group. Proper torque and tension screw adjustment are critical to avoid jamming the E.R.C. flange.

This guide details the complex process of converting a lathe into a 12-barrel blank-firing gun, as demonstrated by Mark Serbu. It highlights the critical engineering challenges, including precise alignment, CNC control, and the application of PID theory to overcome firing inconsistencies. The project emphasizes safety and legal considerations, focusing on blank ammunition to avoid machine gun manufacturing regulations.

This video demonstrates how to rifle a barrel in a home shop using basic tools, bypassing expensive CNC equipment. It covers material preparation, precise drilling and reaming, and the critical process of pushing a rifling button. While a DIY approach is shown to be possible, the video highlights the significant difference in quality and precision achievable with professional CNC machining.

This video provides an expert-level analysis of a catastrophic failure of the Serbu RN-50 rifle, presented by the firearm's designer, Mark Serbu. The examination focuses on the severe damage to the receiver, breech cap, and barrel assembly, offering insights into potential failure points and the effects of extreme forces. The analysis also touches upon the ammunition used, specifically SLAP rounds, and their potential role in the incident.

Mark Serbu, a gun designer, addresses the RN-50 blow-up incident involving Scott from Kentucky Ballistics. Serbu reassures customers that the RN-50 is a safe design, attributing the incident to a counterfeit and faulty ammunition round. He emphasizes the importance of sourcing ammunition carefully and highlights the rifle's extensive safe operational history.
