A Canadian rifle maker has successfully fired a 3D-printed rifle, based on firearms designer Cody Wilson's work on a homemade handgun crafted from thermoplastics. Mashable.com reports that "Matthew" has successfully fired 14 rounds from a .22 rifle created from a 3D printer. The rifle represents Matthew's second prototype and is called Grizzly 2.0. The barrel of the first prototype cracked after firing just one round, so he adjusted the barrel's thickness and fired 14 rounds from the next model before experiencing any problems. The Grizzly 2.0 is a single shot rifle. The user reloads it after each shot by taking off the barrel, clearing it of the spent shell casing, and loading another round. The Grizzly 2.0's creator has uploaded video of a purportedly successful firing test. Cody Wilson's Defense Distributed, an organization dedicated to creating designs for 3D "wiki weapons," revealed a single-shot pistol created with a 3D printer in May of 2013. The "Liberator" personal firearm made headlines when Wilson successfully tested it, and days later the Department of Defense demanded he pull the gun's design from his website. Defense Distributed claims to have plans for the next step in 3D firearm creation: "the lower receiver of an AR-15... rifle."

If you don't have'em people, please, please print yourself several.

Can I get a 3D model of this? "If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." Samuel Adams, (1722-1803)
I'll wait for the 3-D metal products to come around, then I'll be looking for a STEN Mk II :)

I would imagine that the ATF similar to the Treasury would have restrictions as to what can be printed when the 3D printer is sold mainstream. You can't print money and there is those yellow dots. Unless you're the Federal Reserve :)
