. I have printed semiauto .308 rifles that run more reliably than some of my factory weapons. 



Why buy metal 3D printing equipment when it is much cheaper to buy metal lathes and milling equipment that makes a better and more reliable part?

All of my printed firearms are made with either PLA or Nylon. No metal printing needed.

Certain components can be built with additive manufacturing that can’t be produced with traditional reductive manufacturing. Plus the cost of material is less bc you have much less waste.
