3D Printed AR15 Magazines Offered for Sale

[Dean Weingarten]

Cuomo Mag

In its rapidly expanding role of protector of the people's right to arms, Defense Distributed is offering copies of the "Cuomo" its revolutionary 3D printed AR15 30 round magazine.

The magazine is designed to accept either hardware store or standard AR15 magazine springs, which need to be bought separately to make the magazine functional.

As a bit of political history, these magazines may prove to be a curio that either sparked the start of a revolution in 3D printer manufacturing, saved the Constitution by demonstrating the insanity of attempting to outlaw boxes with springs, or both. The current price is $50, higher than the price of a mass manufactured magazine.

I wonder if it would be possible to obtain one of these magazines, signed by Cody Wilson? 20 years from now it might make it into a museum.

The magazines are available here. They may not be shipped to CA, HI, MA, NJ, NY, or other places that ban the sale, transfer, or possession of "high capacity" magazines.

Do they have a follower in them? What kind of "hardware store" spring do they suggest to have it function properly? Just curious.

If you dissasemble them and sell the as 'Magazine repair kits'

Then you can send them to CA;

DD's 30-round SLA printed AR-15 magazine. Comes in 4 pieces: mag body, follower, spring plate and floor plate.

Designed to work with either hardware springs or standard AR mag mainsprings (springs not included at this time).

I wonder what 3D printers they recommend for hobbyists interested in... developing their rapid prototyping skills.

Why would anyone but the most desperate fool (or someone wanting a novelty item) spend more than the already inflated rate for one of these, especially if it didn't have a spring?

I understand these have been produced by DefDis in limited quantities, and are unlikely to ever be mass produced for distribution and sale, but $50 for a non functional magazine?

For the same reason that some people attend $500 a plate dinners.

so these magazines come with the opportunity to be around self important blowhards for some fund-raising function I couldn't care less about? Sweet, where do I sign up?

Now if $50 for most of a magazine got me a barbeque with Ted Nugent at his ranch in Jackson, Mi, and proceeds went to the SAF, I'd be all over it.
