hopefully prices will keep going down as the tech gets better and better.
maybe this will drive the price down of good guns like smith etc

Then someone will complain that it is not as strong as Glock plastic, kind of like the heated argument of forged vs MIM parts of a couple US gun makers.

I believe the rifle in question here is an SBR under US law.  Keep in mind it was printed in Canadia (eh).

I wouldn't suggest downloading the STL for it if you have a 3D printer (coughconstructiveposessioncough).

Having STL's for other stuff is fine since you can build anything you want, but SBR's still have to be papered.  STL of an SBR + 3D printer = damned easy win for a lazy F-trooper.


Good on them for shooting 14 rounds without failure.  I bet putting some hose clamps around the chamber section of the barrel would result in significantly longer life of the firearm.

Hmmm . . . is possession of a double barrel shotgun and a hacksaw ALSO an easy win? The hacksaw with shorten the barrel faster than a 3D printer will print up a gun.
