How to build a cut rifling machine?

I can get a mill/lathe fairly easily

 No.41

No lathe/mill required

Arguably the hardest part of making barrels is the rifle drilling process, that is what will determine the quality of the barrel. I would make sure you can drill decent barrels before you start trying to rifle cut them.

Are you allowed to make your own guns in NZ?
don't worry I won't tell

 No.95

>>94
As far as I am aware yes, provided that you are only making them for yourself and the firearms you make are legal (we have somewhat strict laws regarding semi-autos with pistol grips and/or detachable mags which hold more than 5 rounds). Obviously I will get absolute clarification before I make any just to be safe.

Its also legal to make moonshine here, but only for personal consumption (you can give it away but just not sell it).

>legal to make moonshine
I wish I knew that feel. At least I have my guns.

Also you need to have a firearms license.

A potato gun is considered a firearm in NZ and actually requires a firearms license.

That was a post from about 6 months ago you replied to. I'm sure he's long gone.

Just keep your mouth shut and it'll be as legal as you want

Nice triple, /handyman/

Anyway, I wasn't saying I can't make it. It's not that hard to make a still. I just wish it was legal to make it for personal use. I just don't want to fuck up and end up drinking the bad shit at the beginning of the batch that can kill you. I need to do some more research on it.

Making moonshine isn't illegal in most states, and it's not even hard to do, here in the next few days I'll try to make a still thread.


 No.235

>>234

Feel free. I'm pretty sure you're wrong though. I know beer production for personal use is completely legal, though liquor is a completely different game. I could be wrong, but maybe it's just illegal to sell homemade liquor because it isn't taxed. It could be perfectly legal to make, but it only becomes illegal when you sell it because it's untaxed liquor.

Even if it's technically "illegal" just make sure you put the disclaimer "for informational purposes only. If you kill yourself making liquor, I assume no liability, as I'm just giving you the information. What you do with it is your choice"

I'm not a lawyer, but that may or may not be a good start.

I guess if they can have pedo threads on /b/, we can talk about shine on /handyman/, right?

Hell, even if you posted a quart jar of what you "made" that still isn't "proof". There's no way they could prove what's in the jar isn't water.

Even if you poured a bit on the lid and lit it up, they still couldn't prove you didn't just pour a bit of isopropyl alcohol and lit that.

Well, you've got a point, I am probably wrong, modern America after all. I know in at least a few (mostly southern) states it's legal to make, and in a few like Tennessee, if I remember my law, you can legally and sell up to 100 gallons. But it's been so long the laws could of changed


 No.238

>>237

No disrespect meant at all, fellow handyman. I just know it's a tricky business, and if you're not a lawyer, the laws are hard to interpret.

Post your guide anyway, assuming it wasn't the one linked in >>236. That looks like a good start, but I wouldn't start making shine based on a infographic.

As far as I'm aware, all you need to do is make the alcohol via whatever method, boil it off below the boiling point of water, and then condense it, usually best down by running it through lots of cooled copper piping.

You'll have to run it through the still something like ten times before you get 190 proof though, and you'll top out at about 193 proof.

I had no idea you could even get a proof past 190. I wouldn't want to drink it, but that's some high test shit there.

New Zealand, please hurry up and annex us.
