minus-squareSupraMario@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·10 days agoNY you can as long as you have a FFL or gunsmith license. Both are not super hard to get. California you can without a license and you can make up to 3 a year.
minus-squareBad_Engineering@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up4arrow-down1·10 days agoYes it is 100% legal, I’ve done it myself. And there are actually single shot pistols you can download and print. I’m not in anyway in favor of the legislation, just pointing out that machining a functioning anything isn’t as easy as you said.

minus-squareSupraMario@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·10 days agoEven in NY it is %100 legal still, you have to print it with a serial and you must be licensed by the state to make a firearm (FFL or gunsmith).

minus-squareSupraMario@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 days agoNope, you can still make up to 3 firearms a year in California without a FFL license.

Which is required on a metal plate embedded in the receiver. So really stops 3d printed polymer receivers, only cnc milled metal ones will do.
minus-squareSupraMario@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 days agoThose still require metal parts. No plastic is going to have enough strength to be used as a firing pin.
