I would like some more input on this as this has been brewing in my mind for a little while now but I feel as if 3D printing could be the answer to owning very rare (or so called forgotten weapons). For example, I feel like someone with a 3D printer could build a Pederson device. I do not own a 3D printer myself but I’ve got a close friend that does and talking to him, it seems as if the cost of material to create things is not too expensive. Each individual part could be printed and then assembled into a complete and functional (but non firing) Pederson device. Any changes that need to be made would not be too expensive to make it functional. (There’s a video of a guy on YouTube that made one out of basically all paper so I think it can be done with plastic). That person could then use the individual parts as templates to either create the parts themselves or have someone build it for them. I am a more hands on type of person and I feel it would be easier to mirror these parts off a physical “replica” part than a diagram on a screen/paper. I am not a gunsmith though, so I don’t know how feasible this actually is. If this feasible, then I think this could open the door for opportunities at owning quite rare firearms which would otherwise be impossible.
Like I would love to own a VG 1-5 last ditch rifle. I think they are very cool (and honestly they aren’t very complicated mechanically, just gas delayed blowback. Basically a tube around a barrel with a few vent holes in it) but originals are stupid expensive and there was a guy building repros but he is only making a limited number and they’re all accounted for. I feel like using this technique could be an economical way of actually owning one.
