Good grief.

One problem is the quality of the steel these guys are using, much of it is old railway tracks. At best, rapid wear at worse, catastrophic failure.

Yup, railway steel is normally soft steel. Not an ideal material for a firearm! You might as well use pig iron.

If I ever forget, please remind me to never buy any Pakistani 7.62 x 39 ammo.
