You’d be surprised by the strength you can get out of nylon or even PLA, but if you just have to have metal this is a thing:

You have to sinter it, basically bake it at high temps in an autoclave, but the printing part can be done with a cheapo ender 3 (~$200).
As I said though, metal is rarely necessary. I have printed semiauto .308 rifles that run more reliably than some of my factory weapons. If you aren’t printing your own guns in the year of our lord, 2023, what are you waiting for?

@Mor Miles
What are printing? I'd be interested to see what you've come up with.
