A gun nut properly secures their weapon. Trekkies, on the other hand, have ba'THleth (or however they are spelled), which are the most dangerous, unwieldy, and useless pieces of armament ever devised. A broadsword is safer and a stick is more effective.
The part that was leagally a gun was wood. Who cares if the parts that matter to an ordinary person were metal. In the eyes of the law that was a wooden gun. I think it was a cool project.
If he makes a place for the buffer spring to go, and he uses a properly manufactured upper, it should work fine. At least for a few mags. The manufactured upper would support the chamber and bolt.
Neat project, though I'd retire it before it inevitably fails in a (potentially) spectacular manner.
Check out the second page. It did work, he did get it to fire, repeatedly. The wood eventually broke, after several shots. Not full mags, single shots.

I beg to differ.
