serbu gb-22 plans. $12

Mark Serbu is one of those outside-the-box designers that only materialize from time-to-time. After receiving his BA in Mechanical Engineering, he launched Serbu Firearms as a Class-2 manufacturer in 1995 and has been innovating ever since. In the early 2000's he built his first Super Shorty Shotguns on the Mossberg and Remington 870 actions - they were greatly sought after and commissioned by the military, SWAT and LEO departments - the success of these was what undoubtedly inspired Mossberg and Remington to make their own iterations. Due to a three year backlog of orders the company now primarily focus on their three 50BMG designs (the RN-50 break action, the BFG-50A semi-auto and the BFG-50 single-shot) so I can only imagine the frustration for a compulsive inventor to be shackled to a CNC machine cranking out duplicates. Anyway, the GB-22 pictured above was whimsically released by Mark on Youtube amid the gun buyback scheme in 2016 and instantly went viral with over a million views. All-in-all over 1,000 copies of the plans have been bought by folks (with various degrees of metal-shop skills) from all over the world - though I doubt there'd be anything illegal in buying the plans, I'd encourage any purchaser to check local laws before actually assembling a homemade pistol - there are an increasing number of places where this will land you in the clink. That aside it's an incredibly clever, ultra simple, 4-part, single-shot firearm that can be gussied up according to your proclivities, available tools and metalwork proficiency.
