A DIY Submachine gun
Updated: January 9th, 2013
A reader emailed me these photos of a homemade submachine gun built by man in Romania from the plans of Luty’s infamous book. It is chambered in .32 ACP and fires at a rate of 550 – 600 rpm.
Improvements of the original Luty SMG are ergonomic maple knotwood grip, forward grip/extended magwell, ligher bolt, heavier mainspring and a glock-style feed ramp.
On of these days I would like build a legal blank firing submachine gun.
I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

this is not the Luty design from his book, it is from his website actualy. I know due to the trigger, and its in .32, one of his designs is in .32/.380. The designs on his website are free-acess. He wrote the book to show the Brit Goverment they cannot ban guns completely. I will put his website up due to how I belive in information should be presentable to everyone. It is a simple design. I should warn you, if you live in the U.K. and download one of his designs the police will likly raid you home, like in the past. http://thehomegunsmith.com/...
Just for all of you'rs information, guns aren't "completely banned" in the UK. You can own Semi-auto rimfires, bolt action centerfires and just about any type of shotgun. Pistols are more difficult to get and you need a very good reason to be given a license.
