As long as it's not a straight copy, similarities in design don't actually breach patent law, especially since many/most modern rifle designs are actually quite old and their patents have expired.

Interesting. So far it's a one-off, as he hasn't found a manufacturer willing to buy the design. And yet... it has an extruded upper receiver. For those of you who don't know, an extrusion is when aluminum or some other soft material is subjected to high pressure until it flows like toothpaste. It flows through a form that gives it shape, not too different from how pasta is extruded through a form to make macaroni and spaghetti. Extrusions make excellent parts for machinery with linear motion, such as air pistons or, in this case, rifles.
But extrusions have high startup costs, just like stamped metal. The costs get alleviated as tens and then hundreds of thousands of receivers are made from an extrusion, but that's an awfully expensive process to make a one-off.
I have so many questions. Is it a standard extrusion that's used by Serbu Firearms LLC, or some other AR15 manufacturer? Did it have to be machined to make room for the op-rod and piston? Is is this a custom extrusion that might be used for a line of Serbu-15 rifles?
Under normal circumstances, I'd probably buy one.

Oh, lovely. They've sent me a mo-ron.
For only 350 bucks print one.
Apparently Gab's Way of Life is making negligent discharge with lethal consequences a family tradition.
Yeah, that boy and the father really should keep their fingers off the trigger. And who gave the dog a gun?
This said, it is close to my ideal society.

Usually isn't much there for me to look at (I'm entirely about the milsurp), and it would be the best chance I've had in the past year to catch the coof.

Which is also the cause of ammunition shortage, apparently there is overall problem with production of chemicals.

Meanwhile in Croatia
Should've kept it hidden or sell to people he knew.

My guess is he talked to people who spread the word further, realised the cops will know soon and decided to preempt the search of his premises. Hardly the only such cache in Croatia. Not to mention BiH, Serbia and Montenegro.
Maybe I should try a trip there one day...
Remind me to get in good with the Croatian police so I can visit the evidence locker. That Degtyaryov would be nice to have, as would the MGs, and I can never say no to another SKS...

This new Czech 7.5mm handgun round, I can't help but think it would be even better in a PCC/Subgun. As long as you don't care about over-penetration...
One should never care about over pen, nor over kill

Unless you live in an apartment complex and are looking for home defense. Actually standard NATO 5.56mm tends to break up on typical residential construction, making m4geries the best.
