    Default "Wiki Weapons Project" - 3D Printed Lowers

    Long story short, they are trying to creat a file that would allow people to use a 3D printer to "print" a weapon at home. Seems like the legalities of such a venture would be overwhelming but nevertheless, they are attempting it.

    First one was done about four years ago, actually - just the one "HaveBlue" on ar15.com did earlier this summer got a lot of media exposure.

    Nothing illegal about it federally, or statewise, in Colorado. Other states could have or put into place restrictions at any time, though.

    Why the hell would I buy a multi-thousand dollar rapid prototyper to make plastic weapons when I can, for example, buy an "incomplete" metal lower for $20 and make a functioning reciever on my drill press legally?
