Defense Distributed, a designer and advocate of 3D printer-produced gun parts, recently released the newest video in their AR lower receiver tests. This particular model was able to endure over 600 rounds.

Defense Distributed also produced a printable, plastic magazine for the AR. The company seeks to keep a compendium of 3D printer knowledge online as a “wiki” platform that will be accessible to anyone.

    I fully expect that before long Liberals will require barrels to have the same controls and FFL requirements as lowers or completed firearms. They will realize that technology will allow someone so easily make most of the major components easily in their garage except for barrels.

    That video was Obama dumb! I kind of hoped to see a small example of the printing process, not a waste of ammo…
