Has everyone downloaded their gun today?

Looks like a good way to land in prison for an unregistered NFA weapon

Where does NFA come in to play here?

Not sure if the NFA comes into play, but they stated specifically that they used metal for a couple of objects to meet some regulations on having enough metal to be detected by metal detectors.

Cosmetic parts, that could probably be easily replaced.

That was to comply with the Undetectable Firearms Act which isn't part of the NFA.

... so ... only criminals will have "undetectable firearms"?!

[xd ED]

If a criminal has an undetectable gun...how would anyone know? It seems like the detectable ones have been the problem.

ever see a 12ga pistol?

The only way I could see the NFA coming into play is if it is treated as an AOW, and only because of the lack of rifling.

My workaround? Get a wire brush and mark up the inside of the barrel. Functionally, the 'rifling' does nothing. Legally? It may just work.

I would guess v2.0 will have rifling in the barrel. They didn't spend any time at all on aesthetics. No rails, no knobs, no little doohickies hanging off all sides.

You do realize that a zip gun isn't the only thing a 3D printer can print up, right?

Yep. I've thought about buying one, myself. But making plastic zip-guns isn't on my project list.

[jshuberg]

Except that the NFA has no bearing on something that you completely manufacture yourself and keep in your own state.

Good luck with that.

I don't really care too much about the making of "zip guns" with it. I'm more excited about producing lower receivers.

The firing pin is still metal.

The ammo is obviously still metal.

Hardly, "undetectable" as they claim.

If you read the article, it explains why the firing pin is metal. Along with another cosmetic piece, made of metal for a very specific purpose.

Heck, we even talk about that in this thread! On THIS VERY PAGE!

Yep.
And how about holsters?
Fast-access pop-out hideouts, to fasten beneath your kitchen table, for when Russian mobsters invade and knock on your back? (I've never quite figured out how the hero always seemed to know, in advance, where he'd land, let alone that that was what the Russian mobsters were going to do, but it's the movies, so it has to be real...)
