He had lots of cool guns on his table but I could not help myself, I just wanted to talk about the GB-22 pistol.<\/p>\n<p>One of the first things I figured out about Mark is he is doing this because he <em>wants<\/em> too. It is just a bonus that people will pay him for his guns. He is truly driven by his passions.<\/p>\n<p>Last fall Mark introduced the world to the Gun Buyback 22 or GB-22, a homemade four-piece .22 rimfire single-shot handgun that can be crafted by virtually anyone.<\/p>\n<p>With only a barrel, frame, slide and recoil spring, the GB-22 can be made at home with steel plate and bar stock with the use of a hacksaw,\u00a0file, and drill. Attaching the barrel to the frame can be done via welding, roll pins, or screws. The overall design concept is to give one a simple, do-it-yourself sidearm.<\/p>\n<h2>Plans<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_70188\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Serbu-G2210000REVA_1024x1024.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"gun-making-serbu-gb-22-shot-show-2017\" title=\"Do-It-Yourself Gunmaking with the Serbu GB-22 - SHOT Show 2017\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-70188\" title=\"Do-It-Yourself Gunmaking with the Serbu GB-22 - SHOT Show 2017\" class=\"size-large wp-image-70188\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Serbu-G2210000REVA_1024x1024-1024x792.jpg\" alt=\"Do-It-Yourself Gunmaking with the Serbu GB-22 - SHOT Show 2017\" width=\"1024\" height=\"792\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Serbu-G2210000REVA_1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Serbu-G2210000REVA_1024x1024-150x116.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Serbu-G2210000REVA_1024x1024-388x300.jpg 388w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Serbu-G2210000REVA_1024x1024-768x594.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-70188\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pretty simple and straightforward.<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>Impression<\/h2>\n<p>My theory is that Mark was thinking, &#8220;How do I bankrupt those ineffective gun buyback programs?&#8221;

The video went viral and has more than 1.1 million views.<\/p>\n<p>As you might&#8217;ve guessed, this did not sit well with everyone. First South Korea banned the video, then Youtube censored the video with giant blurred blocks. Youtube also prevented him from monetizing the video.
