Discussion 3d printed firearms?

[cantthinkofusername]

It's hard to get a gun in a lot of places, esp. if you're a minor or if you've been in a psych ward before. I've heard it's possible to 3d print parts for guns, that can be combined with (legal, freely accessible) parts that can be bought cheaply online, to make an actual gun. I can't get access to ammunition, so it doesn't work for me, but I'm wondering if anyone else has researched this or has had any luck.

i think a 3d printer costs more than a gun

I've been thinking absolutely the same! I even have a 3d printer. I wish I knew where I could find instructions and STLs. (If someone there has STLs of parts, please pm me their source)

The aftermath of a failed gun ctb is terrible enough, sounds too risky to do a gun ctb with a 3d printed gun.

It must be really difficult to print proper parts and assemble such gun.

Be careful, you can get a long prison sentence for this, especially here in the UK.

With the rise of metal 3d printers its only going to get more common.

There's a few places that host 2A type files. The Gatalogue will direct you where you need to go.
