No-Papers Carbine

The no-papers carbine is assembled from a mining rifle receiver, a cut-down patrol barrel, and furniture printed in somebody’s galley. Serial-bearing surfaces have been replaced or ground blank. The result is compact, front-heavy, and louder than its size suggests. It feeds common rifle magazines if slapped firmly after insertion. The folding stock locks with a shim made from an old transit token. Remove that shim and the stock develops opinions. At corridor distance the weapon is ugly but effective. Beyond a hundred meters, the mismatched barrel and sights begin arguing. There is no legal story for owning it, only degrees of implausible surprise.
