Something to take note of

That is totally cool! Thanks for the link. (We should all be careful not to order anything blatantly "non-kosher" through that site, though. Some work is better done in total privacy.)

Sweeeeet.
But, it looks like the starting price is $50 for the simplist of items. That's expensive for small items, but maybe the price isn't too progressive.

Thank you for posting this. I need the services on this site time to time. The cost is not that much, compaired to the intown shops here.

I thought you all might this. I got an ad in the mail from them, with a nice ruler in it with url on it. It looks like a graet place to replace old parts or have parts made for that new machine you have built from the ground up. I do know how price are, but I fear it might be hard to do any better.
Yes Angler is right don't order parts for that. . .

Exelsis_Deo,
Kindly read the first post in this forum regarding the guidelines about posts here. I'm going to leave your post up for now as an example of what not to do, but any further discussion of illegal manufacture of automatic weapons is gonna be quashed. Sorry if you don't like it, but that's the way it is.
Besides, you're either really stupid or a troll if you're broadcasting on a public forum that you're going to be violating a law that will easily bring a ten-year jail sentence. Think it over.
Oh, and you misspelled "Uzi."

Exelsis_Deo,
MadScienceType is right. On the hand I do think one should know how such things work. Remember that non NFA guns can be made into NFA gun in less than hour. I see no reason to build an NFA gun. That MAK-90 is less than hours work from being full auto, so why break the law? There are a lot of books on such subjects, yes read; study, but don't build. (not yet)
I will also add the full automatic weapon is some what over-rated. Often all it does is waste ammo. You should get a good shotgun, at close range it is often as good or better than SMG.
Also see this thread it has good ideas:

All,
I have Downloaded the Free CAD and price Software. I looks great. One of sample file parts the price was about $2.00 if you got 100 of them. The cost of getting one part is high. It looks a great program. And I don't think you could do any better on custom parts else where. A great place if you can not make it or want to do a small production run of something.

All,
I agree with Faust that there's no harm in knowing how such things work, after all, that's what that "for academic study only" stuff is all about. But I draw the line at advertising on the forum that you're planning to violate a law about which the FedGov has no sense of humor (ask the Branch Davidians or Randy Weaver 'bout that). You can take all the personal risks you like, but don't bring heat down on the forum or its operator. We're bound to draw enough unwelcome attention as it is without adding another alpahabet soup agency to the mix. Capiche?

The shotgun is the ne plus ultra of manstoppers. No other weapon will put a man down as reliably as a shotgun, and no other weapon is as likely to hit your opponent as a shotgun filled with buckshot. No doubt you have heard a lot of nonsense about the lethality of "assault rifles" and "Uzi sub-machine guns" and the like. The fact is that the shotgun is by far the deadliest and most effective firearm for short-range personal defense. For example: an Uzi or Heckler & Koch sub-machine gun has about 340 ft-lbs. of impact energy - a 12 gauge shotgun has 2500 to 3100 ft-lbs. of impact energy, and it is a heck of a lot easier to hit your target with a shotgun than a sub-machine gun.
...
If you have a 12 gauge shotgun you own the most effective and devastating short-range firearm ever created. If you simply want to know the best defense load, go out and buy: 12 gauge 2 3/4" shell 00 buckshot. You shall live happily ever after, as this is the most effective man-stopping firearm cartridge yet devised by man. I recommend the Federal "Classic" (F127-00), Winchester Super-X (X12RB5) or Remington Buckshot (SP12BK-5PK00) as the best double-ought buckshot defense rounds. One of these rounds is virtually equal to a nine-round burst from a submachine gun, with every round hitting.

When it comes to using lightweight, shoulder-fired weapons at ranges greater than maybe 10 yards or so, I think semi-auto fire is more effective than full-auto fire. Having your magazine go dry unexpectedly before all your enemies are dead is bad news, and that's FAR more likely to happen if you're using full-auto fire (or shooting rapid, unaimed semi-auto from the hip). The fewer magazine changes made at unexpected moments, the better. That's particularly true if you're all by yourself or in a very small group.

Angler,
Great Post!
All,
The Emachineshop.com CAD software is worth downing to play with.
