Like what wikipedia says, "The quality of such rifles varies widely, ranging from "as good as a factory-produced example" to "dangerously unsafe"." Guess it would be the same for these, "North Burma copies". compare with the so-called “khyber pass copies”.

It can't be stop because firearms are simple technology. They are simple mechanical device. I have seen kids as young as eight assembling weapons. Nothing wrong with that, it builds characters and good working habits. The whole illegal small arms trade has blown out of portion by Hollywood and the UN. The problem isn’t guns the problem is the lack of leadership in those third world countries. Most deaths came from blade and blunt weapons. Heavy weapons on the other hand are a different matter.
