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.

Gun Jesus is the best Guntuber because he can instantly identify anything made to sling bullets, refuses to get in Twitter beef, absolutely annihilates bullshit products at SHOT Show and refuses to elaborate while taking zero sponsorship due to his affiliation with Finnish Fish Peepee Merchants and the fact that he actually helped make and sell a gun that was indeed good unlike every other "expert"

Yeah he got pseudo-negged on for breaking away from Comanche Karl on their inRange channel and he literally ignored 99% of the grief from him until KKKarl went off the deep end and started lying about Ian, so he finally clarified with one and only response to it which shut everyone tfu. The irony is Ians a leftoid too but literally takes massive frickin pains not to contaminate the content with any political shit except for the ATF being r-slurred.
literally infinite patience imo

Tbh the invasion of Ukraine was the best thing to happen to Ian after that Azov book debacle. Sure, Azov attracts.... Unsavory.... People, but the Russians sure are worse.

For sure, imo he's about as close as you can possibly be on his level to politically/ideologically agnostic/true neutral etc.
I was kinda pissed he even had to make that unlisted explanation video because it's beyond clear he's operating from the same angle since ever.
Thankfully like you're saying he was completely vindicated for it because of the unprecedented r-sluration of z'eds

Really, just don't look too closely at Eastern European politics because eventually you'll find half Jewish dudes who's grandfather's received a Hero of The Soviet Union award for getting their legs blown off at Kursk, and half a family tree that disappeared between Stalin's Purges and the Holocaust... And they'll have a black sun tattoo and lightening bolt runes as a back piece

I remember hearing the Chinese ziggers chimping about Azov endlessly in the early days of the war. They were pretending the West did a complete 180 on Azov from Nazi to heroes for protecting their country for no reason at all. I had to remind them that it was Russia's invasion that made the Azov Battalion heroes by fighting against the Russians.

The Azov book was actually interesting and wasn't some big propaganda piece, unlike what the lefty gun strags said. Apparently Azov had a lot of neurodivergents or neurodivergent adjacent people.

Azov is such a strange story overall. They literally started as bunch of Dynamo Kyiv street hooligans, many of whom were also more right-wing Ukrainian nationalists, and they basically did a boys trip to the Donetsk PvP zone (very based) after the Russian-backed separatists seized the area. They basically looted police stations and bought airsoft gear, and were the only Ukrainian force outside of a tiny reaction group of less than 4000 soldiers capable of slugging it out with separatists. Then, despite being composed of right-wingers, got funding from a Jewish billionaire who lost his steel mills and industrial sites, and eventually got folded into the National Guard as an official brigade in the later 2010s.
