So, who is 3D printing cool firearms stuff?

[WojtekWeaponry]

Another 3D printing project just completed. My Steel Challenge 10/22 Takedown SBR. A great gun with the Boyds stock, but too heavy. Now 1.5 lbs lighter with the printed chassis and stock. The internals/barrel are all Volquartsen. The only original Ruger component is the receiver. Need to find a lighter receiver..

There are 3D printed 10/22 receivers as well.

Everything I have read would seem to indicate that 10/22 receivers are not safe if printed in any commonly available filament. What are your thoughts?

They hold up well enough from what I have seen.

Link? In what material were they printed? Thx.

Assembly Bill 2047 (AB-2047) is in the works but not currently law in CA. I'm not aware of any other CA restrictions currently, but I could be wrong. Someone else please respond if I am incorrect.

Anybody have an update on this?

On a less legally dubious note I’d love to 3D print a barrel shroud and match weight to make the new .44 Rhinos into something like this thing from Resident Evil, don’t think there’s any issues since they don’t have a magazine.

Basically making a really nerdy Rhino Match Master in .44 instead of .38spl

if u have the tools, the stl is already out for requiem . u can reverse eng something?

You can apply for a form 1 with the ATF to manufacture your item ( SBR, SBS or suppressor in free states, non-AW AOW in CA). Approval takes currently about 45 days.

Meanwhile my CA AOW stamp is still pending from 1/19.. Sad

Since only one company currently makes magwells for my SAR9, my buddy and I cooked one up out of PETG. This is V2, working on a final version.

My 3d printer has been getting more use lately; patch catcher for cleaning the barrel, cartridge-specific funnels, stock spacers. Also have my hornady gauges in printed cases now and working on a case for my OAL gauge to hold all its modified cases.

yes, ask me more and give details

Someone could theoretically 3D print mag blocks, buy standard cap magazines out of state, epoxy the mag blocks in so the mags are permanently limited to 10rds, then bring them back to CA without running afoul of any laws right? Or are there rules about 3D printing ANY parts at all? I’ve only seen laws about not manufacturing firearms (like the disclaimer you have to agree to when buying parts now).

My uncle wants me to come to a gun show out of state and just wondering if I can buy mags for dirt cheap and bring them back using this method.

Don't you mean the standard cap mags you bought during /freedom week/?

I started working on this old Mannlicher–Schönauer with no stock. My current plan is to use slice to make a stock on my son’s 3D printer and use that on a replicator to produce one made of walnut.

After I fixed the rust

Freedom week was over 3 years ago and the statute of limitations for the crime of “high cap mag” import/manufacture/purchase is 3 years so even freedom week is kinda a moot point now right? Even if you bought a month before or after freedom week you couldn’t be charged for it. It’s still a cute explanation of how you never broke the law though

I thought that was our inside joke

Made a few things with my new printer

CZ holsters and AICS mag holsters


Giraud trimmer holder


AMP annealer bushing holder and Hornady comparator holder

Funnel holder

@EBR Works and @Punkur67 - great stuff. Are you using PPS or PPA?

Is PET or PA6 good enough for receivers?

(I'm doing this outside of California for the virtue signaling try hards here )

Mind sharing what kind of printer are you using? I'm torn between the Bambu X2D (300 deg C max) and Qidi Q2 (which can handle 370 deg C high temp filaments eg PPS and PPA)

I printed the holsters with PA6-cf. The other stuff is just PLA.

I have the Bambu X2D with AMS and I am very happy so far. I added a creality stand alone filament holder so I could keep the PA6-CF dry during printing. I have never touched a 3d printer till 10 days ago. Everything I have printed so far has been found or customized in the Bambu app.

Thanks for sharing! Appreciate it. Do you use the second nozzle on the X2D with AMS or strictly for support structure? I'll look into the Creality holder as I am also planning on PA6 CF.

I have not used the second nozzle yet.

This is the creality filament dryer I got. I fed straight from the dryer to the printer so I could dry the whole time.
