No background check. No waiting period. No serial number.
The man behind the world's first fully 3D-printed handgun is now selling a $1,299 machine that could make untraceable semi-automatic weapons an at-home convenience.
Cody Wilson, a digital gunsmith and founder of the organization Defense Distributed, is calling it "The Ghost Gunner." This rifle would be completely off the books, obtained without any regulatory procedures. Wilson is a self-identified anarchist and gun rights activist, who advocates for 3D printing technology used to make firearms
The Ghost Gunner uses CNC milling technology, designed to produce a lower receiver for an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle — a piece that acts as a sort of foundation for a gun. It's the part of the gun that's classified as a weapon.
Rather than using a aluminum block, the website suggests starting with an "80% lower," which are easily obtainable lower receivers that are about 80% finished. With a few touches, they're good to go.
