From Proteus/Defcad
The design seems very similar to one that I did some thought experiments with. I considered using a printed 10-22 receiver and a simple open bolt design to take advantage of the ubiquitous 10-22 magazines. I was considering a fusion design that would have used a steel liner for the barrel.
It's not yet ready for prime-time (it has yet to
be tested), but 3D printing tinkerers have developed a design for a
semiautomatic pistol. In fact, the developer says a full-automatic
version would be easier to make with available materials. What a
long way we've come, in just a few short months, toward the
ultimate goal of rendering gun control laws a complete joke.
Well...they were already a joke (though a dangerous one). It's more
accurate to say we've come a long way toward rendering such laws
moot, and easily bypassed by even those with limited technical
skills.
A plastic barrel?
ReplyDeleteno thanks.
"The barrel uses an insert around the case, but then the rest of it has a plastic bore, which means it is pre-rifled and therefore complies with the ATF."
