That is impressive! If guns can be made this way anything else will be made this way.

3D Printing (DMLS and Resin) are going to change the landscape in more ways then we can yet imagine.

Did you print that? If you did, could you please send me the 3d files, preferably in .stl format? Thanks! :tiphat:

Its an interesting intellectual exercise. It would be safer to buy a barrel because those are unrestricted. For now. Then 3D print the parts that don't need to contain the pressure.

A stripped AR lower would be another practical project for a 3D printer.
