www.gunbroker.com/item/893729759Has anyone assembled one of these? I am guessing but there seems to be a lot more than 20% work to do. If I build one I am going to use 35 Whelen as the cartridge. Gunstores seem to always have some on the shelf. I can't find blueprints either. Or the other parts. 17-4 is a joy to machine too.

I'm hardly an expert but I thought the only way to legally own a minigun was to purchase one that was manufactured before 1986 and go through a very extensive background check.

I'm going out on a limb here, but I'm guessing that the link is wrong.

It somehow came up on a search on Gunbroker. I don't have access to the machines that would be able to run this anymore. I see it has been taken down now. 17-4 is a real bear to machine. My experience with it is a tool will be cutting fine then without warning it is bad.

That is specifically for a 7.62x51 cartridge - can't use a 35 Whelen, and can you afford to feed it? I sure can't. It shoots 2,000-6,000 rounds a minute..... Even an armload of boxes of ammo on the shelves won't last very long.
