Could someone please saw down this rifle barrel for me?
Shot Show, a big firearm manufacturer convention, was this last week in Las Vegas. Some small manufacturing and machine shop by the name of BSD Fabrication & Works showed up promoting that they would be building copies of Russian VSS firearms, which would be a cool item to own.
Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons interviewed them and posted a video yesterday about his conversation with them, in which he expresses skepticism about their ability to do so (for example, Ian finds their comment about how "easy" it is to stamp metal concerning) but genuinely does hope for the best.
He also makes a comment about this in a private Facebook group, informing people that he does not recommend giving them deposits beforehand.
In any case, the owner of the shop starts sperging out on his personal Facebook page.

Most comments are from people supporting him as he continues whining as much as he can.
Although there are instances of people pointing out that these are mild concerns and criticisms.
There's about 70 comments in the facebook post.
Redditors in the /r/nfa sub (dealing with laws and regs created from the National Firearms Act) also learn about this:

BSD is a clown and a C tier machinist. Charged an arm and two legs for simple machine work in the old days of the form 1 community.
For the curious about his history. This guy even used to bead blast his parts to hide chatter on threads
ETA: the HUBRIS of BSD with the stamping question. Lol. Lmao, even.
If memory serves, he got banned from /r/NFA because he was constantly hawking his services.
Link referencing his history is further down.
The guy is a meth head and an absolutely terrible machinist.
The history referenced in that first comment is this link here (bunch of pictures in this post):

Ah the first picture explains his pricing. When I heard what he was charging for those Surefire conversions, I thought he was smoking crack. Turns out it's actually meth.
Anyways yea this r-slurred meth addict reeeing about a mild critique is definitely going to re-engineer a niche firearm and sell it to the masses.

Gunbeardman literally said that he got burned doing deposits for guns and doesn't recommend them (right before the guy asked for deposits lmao)
Sorry but rasputin beard has the upper hand on this one.
