 Excellent book for full auto theory. March 24, 2008
This is one of the many books I have bought in order to more fully understand the design and function of fully automatic weapons. I read through it, and felt that it did a decent job of explaining how truly easy it is to make a fully automatic gun using the simple blowback method. Once I felt I had extracted all the value and knowledge I could from the book, I actually traded it for some other gun related books at a used book store. After reading through several other books on the different theories of full auto firearms, including Brassey's book on small arms, I felt a need to review the basics that the P.A. book presented.
Although it's illegal for the civilian to make the gun in Luty's book, anyone who desires to understand the simplicity of how some of the full auto's work, or future Class 3 manufacture's who might someday make machine guns for law enforcement or the government, really need to have this book as a reference.
Interesting Reading, Don't Do It January 29, 2007

As this book clearly states: 'This material is presented for academic study only.' It is clearly illegal to build the gun described in the book. And if you have enough money to pay all the taxes, you don't need to build one, you can go buy a real gun. When I say real, I mean that you'd have more confidence it wouldn't blow up.
Having said that, the academic interest in this gun is just to see how simple it is to build a gun, and in turn, how impossible it is to prevent the manufacture of weapons by simply passing a law.
The particular gun described here is the simplest I've ever seen. It's constructed from commonly available steel tubing. (I didn't realize that so many standard tubing sizes were so close to what was needed for gun building.) Strangely enough, you don't even need a lathe or milling machine for this gun. Everything is made using hand tools such as hacksaw and file. Normally accepted things such as rifling in the barrel and sights are simply eliminated.
One final comment. He uses a series of 'steel collars' in his design. I presume that's a British term. If you look up 'steel collars' on Google you get a bunch of bondage sites. Instead look up 'shaft collars.'

A very interesting read, simple step by step instructions.If you can obtain the materials & trust the authors word-in no time at all you would probably have a neat little weapon on your hands.

This is a must have for all gun fans. It shows exactly how to build an automatic gun any size from 22 caliber to 12 gauge. Can be built by anyone from simple easily found materials, it looks great too.
Decent How to December 30, 2005

Great shop drawings for Machining parts.. Historical information about the Metral. In a SHTF scenario this will/would be a useful book to have on the workbench.
I prefer .223 or 7.62x39 for a variety of reasons.. I've built several of each with no machining from kits. Don't think I'll ever built a Mitral unless DOT.GOV decides to try and usurp the constitution and confiscate legally owned firearms from citizens, in that case, more people then myself would "redeclare our independence from tyranny."
