Introducing the m/45SA Swedish K SBR

[GreaseGunner]

I’ve been working on this off and on for a little while and finally got it finished. Machined the receiver tube from scratch (no template) and using an Indy Ord semi auto bolt assembly as well as lower rails, I created a very nice semi auto Swedish K. I’m looking at making these as a build offering for my company next year once I proof those one out more (already 500 rds in and running great)

I plan to take it out and do a 1,000 round test day soon. As you can see, Gordon the company “spokes-kitten” is produced the offering.

Great work. That is a very clean looking build! Cheers!

 

[Strangeranger]

It's the cat's meow.

 

[StenAtopia]

Awesome job as always John. Happy turkey day bud!

 

[pa123guns]

Nice work! Perfect gun to do a semi version!

 

[atfsux]

And OF COURSE you are also developing an FRT for it, yes?

 

[GreaseGunner]

Not planning on an FRT and no real way to put one in.

Honestly I know no one is going to like my opinion on them, but here it is as I’m sick and tired of everyone under the sun wanting to make a machine gun that’s “not a machine gun”-this entire FRT/SS fad is going to blow up in everyone’s faces at some point and it’s going to cause more drama/headache than it’s worth. It’s only a matter of time before each state passes its own regulations with regards to them.

Looks awesome!

Not everyone is going to dislike your opinion. Well said and I think you are spot on. At my last count there are 15 states that already ban them. Congress can just update/change the definition of a "Machine Gun". As far as I am concerned they DO use a "single pull of the trigger" to fire more than one round. One does not remove finger pressure when firing multiple rounds, release pressure and it stops. FAFO! I am not against machine guns, I own several.

I can hand you an M16 (5.56 or 9mm) and hand you a matching SBR (5.56 or 9mm) that I put FRT’s units into for my own testing and you can NOT tell the difference. My concern is when (not if) the definition is updated, that they “forget” or “neglect” to add in an existing NFA clause.

I made this Swedish K SBR as a semi and only intended to be a semi with plans to bring them to market next year as a build service….not something for someone to stick a gimmick inside and then complain when it doesn’t work as it was intended to.

 

[skoda]

Nice work. Are you using a parts kit or self made parts beyond the receiver?

 

[Hey]

My concern is when (not if) the definition is updated, that they “forget” or “neglect” to add in an existing NFA clause.

100% my thought, that they make a blanket rate of fire description (or similar) with no carve out for transferables already on the books. Wrong people in power that know exactly what they’re doing after the filibuster is discarded. FAFO.

Not hating against people that enjoy it while it lasts… I just know it’s not going to last as we know it, hopefully the revised rules are made during a time we have an advantage.

 

[GreaseGunner]

Using a combination of original and new made parts.

 

[GreaseGunner]

I have a transferable Fleming HK sear and it’s with that thought in mind, the failure to exclude, has me thinking about offing mine to get something else.

Wouldn't they just rule that an FRT is a machine gun and must be registered as such (post sample) which would not effect currently registered MGs? I know we are dealing with idiots in government with agendas but this seems most logical to me.

 

[Hey]

^Hopefully that’s all. Simple and clean. Life goes on as it was. Nobody loses their legit MG collection.

 

[The Dude]

Sorry we Hijacked your thread for a bit Greasgunner but you started it!

 

[Strangeranger]

The NFA allows individual States to ban MGs so having Congress redefine them would do no good

 

[Hey]

If the feds banned them then it wouldn’t matter what the states do, the blanket 50-ban is the worry. We already know some individual states infringe, just worried about the larger picture.

 

[slimshady]

Not to get too far off topic, but the only reason the NFA has not been struck down is because it is a Tax, not a ban. The actual machine gun ban of 86 as far as I know has not been tested in court since the heller decision said it was an individual right, the ban being upheld prior because the courts went with all the second amendment guarantees is the states a right to have their own military force. Certainly with bruen it would not pass muster since none of the firearms were regulated until 1934, well after the eras the government has to show a similar law to be considered constitutional.

And of course we come to the famous dangerous and unusual exception. How many million FRTs are out there now? If that isn't common use I don't know what is, especially since the supreme Court has already said a lesser number of stun guns possessed by the public was enough to become common use.

And the kicker, the phrase dangerous and unusual used in the original Heller decision was quoting an English law back in the day that prohibited the carrying of such weapons. Basically a disturbing the peace charge. As someone recently pointed out in a brief from one of the current cases, all that does is allow the government to keep you from carrying your belt fed machine gun down the street, it doesn't prevent you from keeping it at home.

Now getting back on topic, that's a great looking Swedish K. Got a ballpark on the price?
