<p>185.189.25.171: /* 3D printed guns and &quot;the law&quot;. */ new section</p> <hr /> <div>== 3D printed guns and &quot;the law&quot;. ==<br /> <br /> Hey Louis and team. The wiki is for the most part correct. &quot;3d printed firearms&quot; are usually a printed frame or receiver and the rest of the parts are commercially available parts that are not regulated. But something the article doesn't take into account is that it is legal to machine or build your own firearm. The Gun Control Act of 1968 allows the manufacture of firearms for personal use. They may not be sold or transfered without a Federal Firearms License (FFL) and you can not make Class 3 items (items related by the National Firearms Act: suppressors, full auto guns, short barreled rifles, etc). This is why it's legal to buy 80% receivers for the AR-15 (traditionally what is used for so called &quot;ghost guns&quot;). They are an AR-15 lower receiver machined to 80% and are not serialized. The user must machine the remaining 20% to make a functioning lower receiver and requires tools and some know how. According to federal law, 3d printing a firearm is not illegal unless it is sold or transferred without a license. It is already illegal to manufacture parts to make a firearm fully automatic (meaning it will fire multiple rounds per trigger pull), as well as suppressors, unless you have the MULTIPLE LICENSES required.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> https://www.atf.gov/firearms/privately-made-firearms [[Special:Contributions/185.189.25.171|185.189.25.171]] 13:45, 2 June 2026 (UTC)</div>
