“Yep fully printed. Only metal is barrel springs and screws. Just calling it Just-in-Case. I over halled the el ratto. Made it reliable and serviceable. Files are done working on guide.”
The barrel in this case is simply a piece of steel break-line tube pressed into a printed outer barrel. These types of almost fully 3D printed semi-auto pistols are starting to show up seized around the world – now coupled with fully printed silencers that rival commercially made ones.
“The searches were carried out last Monday, simultaneously in France and Belgium. In our country these took place in Heverlee and Oud-Heverlee, where two people were arrested. The suspects, an 18-year-old woman from Leuven and a 26-year-old man from France, were arrested by the investigating judge.
In the house where the couple was staying, investigators found an illegal weapons workshop. During the raid, the 3D printer was actively printing penguns (firearms in the shape of a ballpoint pen). Dozens of metal and plastic weapon parts, as well as ready-to-use 3D firearms, were seized.”
The pistols seized appear to be variations of the Y22 Hammer which was designed to be made in bedrooms in Europe.
The Enfield Arms TC-10 was a very simple & economical small-workshop made 9mm semi-automatic pistol & carbine manufactured by gunsmith Ron Owen back when Australia was more permissive of such things. It fires from an open bolt and uses Owen gun magazines. These days you’d 3D print the body and turn the innards using a mini lathe.
“I’m 90% done with my pistol build. I will post all the cut files for this project soon.”
“A 36-year-old man was arrested this Tuesday (6), in Carmo do Cajuru, for illegal possession of a homemade .9mm caliber pistol. According to the PM, the crime took place on Rua Guilherme Nunes, in the city center. The perpetrator of the crime has a history of non-payment of child support, and in addition, he was on the run from justice, with several arrest warrants against him.”
