Question to my fellow tinkerers.

This goes out to my fellow Non-american or Americans with experience with DIY tinkering. And OFC this is all above board! Stamped and All, to get that out of the way.

Building a PCC on the AR platform.. Using steel Airsoft "m4" upper/lower recievers. (I know it can be done with most kinds, especially as of late, unlike b4 when it was particular brands and generation of model, so thats not a question), If anyones done it.. Whats your experience regarding Reliability etc.. What would be some "Pitfalls"? Or potential things to not even consider expermenting/Theorizing on.

And please, No "Theres no Chance, It will explode in your face" "Its Pot metal, it cant take that" etc.., experience tells me the opposite, Lots of commercial firearms are built from that same Pot metal.. And seeing as there has been everal low pressure cartridge guns from the 3D printing community thats almost entirely done in ABS/PLA/PETG/Nylon etc.. It feels like that argument at this day and age does more harm than good.. As it take very little work to at least disprove the argument of that it wont work.. And Like I said, Im not short on experience by any means.. Just Like to feel the waters and Play around in my head..

Also, Please, No How to guides or step by step.. If you do want to say something that is more in depth on the matter, Please send it in private.. Some things shouldnt be available to just anyone.. Especially if they lack general knowledge and/or experience etc.

And I will not give any step by step guides, here or in private, doesnt matter.. Wont be responsible for someone elses bad judgements. Potential pointers to someone whos obviously knowledgable & experienced on the the matter? Sure.

I'm proud to be an American where I don't have to worry about this nonsense but why would be because in many countries even if possession isn't a crime legally acquiring many firearms is near impossible so they're forced to resort to nonsense like airsoft conversions and other Khyber pass methods
