Sounds like they are in it for under $100. Not as good of quality end product, I'm sure, but it's proving to be feasible and it also looks quite fun.

I was thinking on making a 3d printable AR-15 lower for lost plastic casting in aluminum, since a blast furnace to melt aluminum cans/etc is really easy to make at home, and your worst aluminum is still likely far superior to your best 3d printable when it comes to strength. <br /><br />Price seems about on par with getting a stamping die for making AKs, when last I looked into those. I also dig the colors available (the fact that there are colors, plural, with an s). I've found a lot of interest and enthusiasm in my generation for things not only available in black on black on black with black extras.

I ...Yeah, it does seem to be a pretty steep price. I didn't do the math on how many you need to cast to make it worthwhile, but think of a gun club. Why couldn't a club make a batch? I guess when it comes out of the mold, it's a firearm, and they'd be manufacturing firearms. At least in the BATFE's eyes.<br /><br />As a door that's opening, I've got to say it's pretty freaking cool. <br /><br />SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1406088964942152547.post-27073768795967925832016-01-19T08:50:40.487-05:002016-01-19T08:50:40.487-05:00Oh Lord, an AR 15 lower for only $350.00.
