3-D Printed .22LR Form 1 Suppressor
I am willing to bet that when the National Firearms Act of 1934 was enacted, no one in the the government, firearms industry or the general public envisioned technologies like 3-D printers being used to create gun parts. Let alone being used to make silencers. Eighty years later, a machine simple enough to be run […]
