5 out of 5 stars Beautiful buzz gun that works...   June 7, 2007
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Being a licensed manufacturer+SOT, naturally, I took on building one of these fine pieces, the MP22 (I also built an MP9, covered in another book)... and they both runs flawlessly. There are a couple of lightly covered details, but in a deep, careful, read, plus me speaking with the author, I was able to get my piece built and running. Bill clearly describes how, with some bare tools (and he showed me, personally, a couple of neat techniques mentioned in yet other of his books), that raw metal can, in fact, be turned into something really useful... as to the so-called missing extractor, it's there, on the bolt face in its slot. Bill also was kind enough to show me how to blue my new receiver in his own bluing tank.

Two differing actions are covered in this book... closed bolt, and open bolt. In the open bolt, there are a couple of variations in how the disconnector can be arranged... In one setup, a light trigger pull provides semiauto action, and a full pull provides full auto action.




3 out of 5 stars Great hobby machinist project.   March 14, 2007
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I purchased this book (and another book with similar themes and content)as a challenge to teach myself some fundamental engineering and lathe techniques. This was because I had found it difficult to find any general purpose project related plans and schematics on the internet which seemed relevant and instructive.

While I never had an intention of building a final working model, I'd say that an average person wouldn't be able to do so anyway. To create the auto pistol from the enclosed plans would require a person with considerable technical knowledge and experience, coupled with an impressive home workshop, with milling and lathe machinery.

For the hobbyist wanting a challenging project - at least to experiment with some of the techniques, this is quite an informative book. I was impressed enough to consider purchasing other titles and videao by the author to see what they have to offer.



3 out of 5 stars Good book for general knowledge.   January 4, 2007
I like the book. There is not quite enough info in the book to produce a working weapon, but almost. The author refers to earlier books in the series to explain severial details during the building process. Overall, however, this is a good book.


3 out of 5 stars infomative book   April 9, 2000
 20 out of 26 found this review helpful

This book while giving all the information nessary to build the gun is still a little patchy in its information and you realy need to know about firearms in the first place to fully understand it.If you have a basic knolage of the insides of firearms you should find this book infomative and enjoyable to read.
