Moreover, it wasn't the rifle that was printed, only the lower receiver:

Thanks for the follow-up. But isn't the lower the most important part? Can't you buy everything else over-the-counter without ID?

Yes.  Legally the serialized part is the firearm (as derby mentioned), but the popsci article makes it sound like they printed a whole gun.

Polymer lowers are not that unusual.  Bushmaster bought Calvary Arms, which invented an injection-molded lower from glassfiber filled Zytel, which is the same Dupont polyamide that Ruger uses in its pistols.

But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

I just purchased a Spikes AR 15 stripped lower.  Let the games begin!

I'm going to build the lower up with some nice hardware and a good stock, then pick out a couple of uppers.  Probably a pretty basic M4 style upper with iron sights for plinking, then go crazy with a high quality varmint upper and optics for the trips out to North Dakota to visit family.    Something to reach out and touch some coyotes after I max out my daily pheasant limit.  Maybe 6.5 Grendel.

Hopefully I'll get the lower and M4 upper wrapped up this year.  The varmint variant is probably a solid year out and will also involve a handloading setup.

I have been considering buying an AR in 9mm from JP rifles.  They use one of their forged complete lowers, and a modified RRA 9mm Upper.  They offer a version using their SCR upper (billet with a side charging handle) but they claim its only used for select-fire versions for LEOs. I mainly want this gun to motivate me to apply for a Class III tax stamp and get a suppressor.  They claim 2 MOA accuracy out to 200 yards with decent ammo.  This would be plenty for the carbine matches I would use the gun in.

I can't find time to change oil in my vehicles much less waste a good filter as a can. [laugh] [laugh] Interesting video though. [popcorn]

seems to me if you used an old filter it would suppress even better, but i'd pre-drill the hole first and let the oil drain out as much as possible.

Before anybody actually goes out and tries it, isn't it a big no no to attach any sound suppression devise to your firearm before paying Uncle Sam?

It clearly states that the adapter is registered as a suppressor.

Why do you need a suppressed rifle?
Woohoohoohoo! Two personal records! For breath holding and number of sharks shot in the face.
