The RN-45!

In case you can't guess by the "RN" in the name, this is yet another Royal Nonesuch creation. I make fun of him a lot in this video, as usual, but this is actually a pretty decent gun. And one really interesting thing is that I saw something on high-speed video that I've never noticed before! That alone will make watching this video worthwhile for my fellow gun-building nerds. Enjoy! If you want to see this gun firing, check out the other video here: / @markserbusotherguncha...

For the most part he got a 45acp gun to work continuously with the aftermarket glock 21 extended magazine, something that most 45acp AR type guns won't do...give him an A for that...

[@DestroyER82]

RN is one of my amazing memories from times of free internet with no censorship. Really enjoyed all his videos, creations and ability to survive all that. Gotta find his new stuff. And honestly.. This dude looks better (and maybe even works better :) ) than many other actual professional designs. All the best!

[@kcgunesq]

I'm just glad to hear that RN is still active. His videos dropped off my feed yeas ago.

[@magicschoolbuscarlos]

You can get at the guy for whatever but the fact that he built this and it works reliably is pretty darn impressive, especially given that it uses a lot of off the shelf parts, which is actually really cool.

You know, as a professional welder and LNG welding superintendent, it's great to see people having a go and doing just fine. What I really think is pathetic is someone (especially a self-taught welder) laughing at someone else's work. Someone having a go at an actual job, instead of stroking an ego.

[@brandiwynter]

Man I REALLY wish there was an affordable commercial version of the grease gun. Unfortunately it would have to be a semi auto 16" barrel. Although if there was a retro looking braced version it would be awesome. Basically I just want a grease gun without all the NFA BS...no biggie lol. I think he did alright on this build all things considered. I like it.

[@hellboygrim666]

The design really doesn't look bad I think Richard passed the smelling test 😂

[@mattpence5655]

Watching this video and reading through the comments and for some reason I realized that I am here because of Kentucky ballistics being a mechanic with a son about his age I have an attachment to them. I kinda hope that he and I can get along as well as Scott and his father, but like they say god closing a door opens a window sometimes, ehhh it’s all good 👍🏻 but funny how a horrible accident can turn into something good when it’s all said and done but it was great seeing the gun tube community for the most part come together and be the kind of people that make this country better than the rest of world alright enough with the sissy feelings and what not get back to work fellas 👍🏻👍🏻

[@matthewexline6589]

It's beautiful! An idea from me: Replace that barrel locking nut with one that doubles as a large kinda-almost-integral suppressor that goes over and past the barrel.

[@georgelstuart]

Jokes aside, RN has accomplished more gun design than almost everybody that has ever lived at the same age

[@levilopez9264]

The mag release is in a perfect spot. Shoulder the firearm then grab the magazine and hit the release with your index finger. That allows your finger to open a mag bag or pouch and drop without looking.

[@frank03s]

Ya, I'm watching to many gun channels. My first thought was "really light recoil spring" Thanks Mark

[@edwardwood6532]

It looks like a modern Sten. It isn't high art but these things are not meant to be finished as European shotguns. The only confusion is someone with these resources had the right legal paperwork to show this off on the internet? I am very impressed.

[@allen_steel1236]

Making a TIG weld look like a stick well, is the sign of a truly talented welder, because no one could screw up a TIG weld that bad without doing it intentionally😂😂😂

[@buckinthetree1233]

Needs a stopper on the bolt face to stop the case head from sliding too far up on the bolt face, and a recess in the breach face for it to nest into in order to stop the wiggle effect. I suppose that the recessed place in the breach face could then foul up and prevent the bolt from closing completely, causing light or non primer strikes. Some thought would need to be put into the design of it.

[@craighansen7594]

It's been a long time since Richard appeared in one of your videos.

[@ronlane4311]

While the vast majority of grease guns were in .45 ACP, there was a number intended for resistance groups that were in 9 mm.

[@dencio1089]

Love the very simplistic and basic design

[@grumpyoldretiredcop8382]

So, kinda the Royal Nonesuch Glock Mag Compatible Sten... I actually kind of like it! The "hand engraved" maker info is a nice touch, the use of an AK trigger and hammer is thinking out of the box. Heck, a semi-auto version would probably sell. It's better than anything I'm likely to come up with anytime soon, I can say that. Kudos!

[@joehiden7475]

I like it. It really took a lot of thought to make this come together. I always thought the Grease Guns were cool.

[@meanman6992]

As a TIG welder, he’s probably moving to slow with not enough heat and cooking the steel causing the porosity… more heat and moving faster will prevent that.

[@heikkiaho6605]

[@user-yf9wy9be6c]

Not sure why Royal Nonesuch didn't just use the Grease gun or Ppsh-41 style drop sear given that this is an open-bolt "fast semi-auto" design. This might require a longer receiver though, maybe he didn't want that tradeoff. Or just wanted to use that spare AKM FCG. I personally love those WW2 FCGs, not just because of simplicity but because of how thin and short their height is compared to most hammer-fired FCGs. Great video, Mark. Big thanks for the high speed footage especially. You're a big inspiration.
