Hello,
I need help figuring out what I need to get started. I am not a machinist and have no back ground in it, which is why I came to this community for assistance.
I own a firearms store and am trying to set up a shop to build firearms, and parts (All legally as I have the required licenses). To begin with I would like to make AR-15 lower receivers, 1911 frames, Picatinny rails, and magazines (See Pictures). I would like to have everything as automated as I can, as I would like to hire only one or two operators to begin with. Most items will be made out of Aluminum, though if I could make some out of Titanium as well, I think it would be pretty cool.
I need to know what machines would be the best for this, where to buy them, and where to find the plans for them. Most of the firearm parts with need to be machined, while the mags can probably be stamped. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you for looking
