Kurdish Gunsmithing

This is kinda neat. He works with what he has access to and he gets the job done.

$4,000-$6,000 for a M4!

Sounds like I need to get to Kurdistan to start gunsmithing.

Hell, guys in the Kyber pass have been turning out weapons in mud huts with nothing but hand tools for a long time now. People were building guns long before modern manufacturing methods became available. It may take a lot longer but one off hand fitting can get the job done just like CNC machining....

And that M-16 pictured would probably still run. Make sure there's no internal burrs and lube it up good. The location of the holes is probably seeing very little stress.
