It's very interesting to see him fabricate his own weapon accessories, and I would enjoy reading more. At the least, ask him if he could email you a weekly posting.

I say DID because they went out of business a couple of years ago. The local dealer got burned, having part-paid up front for an order that never arrived.

I'm not thrilled about the laws in Nigeria and I think it's fundamentally wrong to deprive people of the means to defend themselves. Regardless, Emmanuel found a way to work the system and take care of his needs. This kind of things just goes to demonstrate the inherent futility of regulating tools to control behavior. A reasonably competent, reasonably coordinated person can walk into any of the giant chain home-improvement stores in the US, Canada, Mexico or the equivalent anywhere else and walk out an hour later with everything they need to build their very own full-auto shotgun as well as all the ammo it can eat. To Emmanuel, you sir, absolutely rock. You used simple math, simple tools and used your common sense to solve the problem with the stock. Times like this that I almost have hope for our species. Seriously, you made my day. Okey Dokey… this thoroughly made my day. (Doing a serious happy dance here…)

Emmanuel if you don't mind helping with the following question. Your response is appreciated. I'm a nigerian currently residing state side but planning on coming home in a few months. I was wondering if you know anything about how I can import my gun(s) into Nigeria. I have a Jericho 941, a smith & wesson 646P and a 12 gauge shotgun. Any pointers or redirects to relevant information would be helpful. Thanks. Hi,

Thanks to Steve and Emmanuel for this post. I always like hearing from gun owners in other countries. It's amazing what some folks have to deal with in terms of registration. That build info is worth filing for reference -- nicely done and well-thought out. Neat! Thanks to Steve and Emmanuel for this post. I always like hearing from gun owners in other countries.

Two things: 1. It obviously looks like an assault rifle: not legal. 2. .410 ammo is not common here. (Never seen any...) Lovely firearm, but untouchable... Thanks!
