World’s first fully 3D printed rifle—made in Canada—fired a single shot

July 26, 2013 By Kathy Shaidle

Then the barrel broke.

Could this development lead to the elimination of the distinction between restricted and non-restricted firearms?

Here’s the guy who made it:

I have a valid Possession & Acquisition Licence as required by Canadian gun laws to own firearms. All that is required to build a firearm for personal use is the same licence, selling requires a manufacturing licence. I do not intend to sell any but will release the files once complete and let people build their own. The rifle is a smoothbore .22 with an overall length of 670mm and permanent stock as required by law to conform to non-restricted status, which require no registration like restricted status firearms.
