There is still a Dicks not too far from me in Renton, WA. I will go there to shop whenever I need sporting goods.
Now I wish they would destroy their Nike goods too. Nike stands in support of forced organ harvesting and other insidious practices by the tyrannical government of China.
They will virtue-signal. You know the upper brass of Dick's has protection.
The day they made their announcement was the day I stopped going there. I thought libs and virtue-signalers were all for diversity, inclusiveness, and safety for all.
Liberals are for diversity, inclusiveness, and safety for all. You admitted that you chose to stop going there because you can't handle the diversity of choosing not to sell assault style weapons.
Now at this point we can start defining what exactly a "machine shop" is. I never said you needed a "machine shop".

Unless you use "make from scratch" to mean "assemble from pre-made parts".
Nope. No pre-made parts. See response above. Though obviously pre-made parts would make it as easy as pie.
I saw it done, firsthand, with an oven and "machine tools". I wouldn't have qualified his garage as a machine shop...commercial or otherwise. He made nothing in particular on those machines. He didn't sell anything out of there. A garage with a lawnmower, trimmer, blower, and gas can doesn't necessarily make that garage a "landscaping operation". If you want to call it a machine shop though...go right ahead. The label itself doesn't lend some magical ability to what was done there.
Oh, and I never said one lone man was doing it. There were several folks there.
Start to finish, an oven with machine tools (again, I wouldn't qualify it as a true "machine shop"), and it was done in just under 8 hours.
This was 10 years ago or so.
Are you going to now claim smelting iron ore isn't "scratch enough"?
I sold this car a drunk used to kill a family. Shut down the dealership and ban cars. Alcohol too. We have to save everybody from everything. We want a life of no risk whatsoever

Personal anecdote? I'm going to claim you're no better at bending the truth than at bending metal. Fabricated a chrome-lined barrel in less than 8 hours, in a garage? Milled the chamber? Milled the bolt? No one believes that.
I very strongly suspect TaxPhd called it. I might even go so far as if to suspect you saw the youtube video named "How to build an AK47 from scratch", belatedly realized that it depicts exactly the act of bending a receiver, and are now left high and dry.

Excuse me?
Chrome-lined?
Factory-quality?
Tsk tsk tsk.
We are going in over our heads again.
Care to ask questions to receive answers or are we going to play the assumption game?
Also, I didn't take part. I observed.
