"Get a 3d printer and..." Is bullocks. The materials from the current generation are not compatible with application and SAFETY.

Like saying "Sea bass with nasty attitudes and lasers on their heads" would be a replacement for sharks

Besides - you aren't REALLY reading and listening to jones are you? He is the al gore of the nutty right

Jeffe, while I agree with you on Jones, don't downplay the beginnings of certain technoogies like this one. While I can not say much due to contractuals, I know for a fact that the way the military KNOWS they can service and fix certain weapons is because they build them using a variation of this technology.. They make sure that way that people can really reach inside the weapon to fix it. The mock-ups they do are now upwards of 80% as durable as the real thing given modern "printable" materials.

Just sayin'

If you can print your magazine and if it goes bad a few thousand rounds later you can print another of have more on hand. Alex is a bit crazy but can make some good points and bring up important issues time to time.

Firearm - implies the action or serialized part. This doesn't mean incidental parts. What I stated is correct the current generation of stereo lithography doesn't create a safe or durable firearm. It can replace things that are currently injection molded or extruded from various plastics.

Gents in only started following this technology and is limits about 22 years ago.

What could be made are the plugs for a list wax or other type of low tech mold.

Making a receiver from this would result in a Darwin award with today's tech

Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo.

You can 3D print in sintered stainless AND Titanium gents so I would take this a little more seriously than you are at the moment

A company here is currently field testing 3d printed Titanium suppressors so a printed Ti AR upper / lower is just a reality that hasnt happened yet.

Jeffe, no offense, but you are a little behind on this technology. As Bushside said, it is a reality that hasn't happened yet (for the public). I have seen a 3D Ti printed AR receiver and seen it shot a LOT.

3D printed AR15 lowers do work very well indeed.

Jeffe
You are way off in the weeds, on the other side of the fence beyond the creek and over the hill.
A design created specifically for this technology would have a steel bolt locking into a barrel with locking recesses (think Winchester 1200 shotgun) Thus the receiver is just a shell to house the mechanism - same as a Glock frame with the metal inserts. Now you will admit that a plastic framed Glock works won't you?

3D Printed AR-15 Lower Withstands 600+ Rounds (Video)
Submitted by: Defense Distributed
Website: http://www.defensedistributed.com There are no comments on this story
Post Comments | Read Comments


Defense Distributed's latest 3D printed AR-15 lower withstood 600+ nearly continuous rounds and still did not fail. Note: A direct gas impingement upper was used, not a piston (which diverts the hot gases out the front of the upper). The lower design was verified using a cheaper 3D printing technology - extruded ABS - and didn't show any signs of damage from shooting at a high rate of fire. 3D printed AR-15 lowers have arrived.
