Got some Independence ammo in 5.56. It's distributed through Federal. It's from Israel.
I got a machinist friend with a few CNC machines, pretty sure we could build pretty much any gun we wanted.It's pretty well known but not as easy as it sounds. Not all parts can be printed. And for the ones that can, you still need a CNC machine.
The parts that actually fire pretty much need to be metal if you want them to last more than a few shots, until we can print metal it's a no go, on the other hand once we can then the barels could be printed too.Yeah the real question is how long till the technology allows all parts to be printed except perhaps the barrel which has to be well made and rifled...
That's called a technological advance. In fact, as far as I know, it is perfectly legal to make your own gun as long as it never changes owners.Yeah the real question is how long till the technology allows all parts to be printed except perhaps the barrel which has to be well made and rifled...

You can already print metal objects with processes like laser sintering. The machines for it are just very expensive. Just like the "normal" industrial-grade 3D printers.
Any monkey can make a lower receiver with hand tools, I don't get the fuss about 3d printing in that regard. Nor do I understand why it is considered to be "the actual firearm" in the states.
I have used their .380, .38 Special and .45 ACP, it all shot very well.Have shot some Independence 556, seemed good.
Talked to others that their 9mm was good as well.
My grandfather's custom 1911 threw its sight rail off at the range today. Kiki was shooting it and all the screws holding it to the slide sheared off and the rail hit her right in the forehead, giving her a nasty cut. She was a complete pro about it, carefully clearing the weapon and making it safe. I am going to send it back to Clark in Louisiana, the original shop that did the custom work back in the day; hopefully the sheared screws can be removed and the slide repaired.
Seer:I think it was just metal fatigue, I recently had to replace the seer because it had a significant notch worn in it due to so many rounds being shot through it over the years.
This blows.
