AR-15 Made from a plastic cutting board, and works well

Can't see how in the world this is legal though.

Notice he didn't show the switch side?

If he's gonna go to the trouble to make a lower out of anything, I bet he made it full auto as well!

Oddly enough, I think building your own gun is one of the least paperwork intensive things you can do (as opposed to getting an SBR, AOW, full-auto, or buying and selling firearms on more than an occasional basis). As I recall, if you build your own gun, with no intention to sell, no license is necessary, nor does it have to be registered in any fashion or even have a serial number.

Lots of people build AKs from kits, a kit being all the parts from a full-auto version minus the receiver. They buy an 80%-finished "receiver" (which does not count as a firearm receiver yet, because it is only 80% finished), do the final 20% on the "receiver," put all the parts together, and voila! A fully functioning (if you did it right) AK. Again, this has to be for you own use -- you can sell it later (and maybe then it has to have a S/N, not sure about that), but as long as you did not build it with the intention to sell, you're supposed to be good.

IANAL and all that -- you wanna go build a gun, research it yourself, but if you google on AK kits and AK builds, you will find several sites devoted to it, as well as instructions in AR-15/AK-47.com, and other places...

Nah...ingenious if you ask me!

You can make your own gun...get a flat for an AK...and bend it and put it all together...you just CANNOT sell it...its illegal to make it full auto though, so making a ar lower using some polycarbonate cutting board materials, some templates (that are free on the internet) and a CNC machine..pow...a fully functional AR lower..but you can MAKE a gun all day long legally in TX (you can just never sell it)

Cavalry arms makes a SUPERB polymer AR-15 lower...some say they are tougher than aluminum recievers! (they are serialized because they registered to SELL them)
