So I bought a 3D printer...

a) The phrase "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas", comes to mind.
b) If you do choose to manufacture mags, "design" them and mark them specifically for the Remington 7615 pump action .223 rifle. Should they happen to fit any other rifles, that is irrelevant, as they are designed for a pump action, etc.
c) See part a), hypothetically speaking.

I've been getting some great ideas like this and others by PM, but I really shouldnt go forward until the legal issues are cleared up. I dont want the RCMP knocking on my door, or worse (for me), my research grant being pulled. I dont have any law contacts, but until I get a green light ,what I do produce will be hidden away in my house lol.

My original intention was to do .50 Cal mags, workaround beowulf, but I know there are other people already trying to do this on CGN but making them in China and importing them. I feel like I would be asking for trouble if I did that...As of now im just firing up the printer and i'll keep you posted.

Do it anyway...right now those mags are pretty much unobtainable, and we all want some.

you think you are the first guy to think of this?

wont work...it's been tried.

7615 is advertised as "taking AR mags", therefore the RCMP considers any mag that fits an AR mag, regardless of markings.
 
^^ I agree with him...Well not the condescending laughter and attitude but the lower end printers i wouldnt trust with an AR-15 lower or magazines....how do i know? Cuz i have one, and i printed a 5rd magazine. Mind you i didnt play with it too much but i did it for ####s and giggles.
 
The mags printed by DefCad used a lower end printer aswell. I'll give it a shot, if it doesn't work its no big deal, I bought it for work. I just thought I would try it out.
 
I'm very interested to see what you create with this.

Though, I kind of think that the material used will have a more significant effect than the printer itself, though there may be some correlation since I imagine the better materials might require a higher end printer to utilize.

Does anyone know if a Pmag equivalent polymer could be/is usable with a printer?

They use DuPont Zytel , which is nylon based. I'm not sure if anything like that exists for 3d printing.
I looked into some of the higher end printers, and the plastics they use dont have any significant difference in tensile/impact strengths, but the Commex printers are better than the lower end FDM. At this stage, these magazines/lowers are more temporary/experimental. There is something called Omni Plastic which i hear is good. I'll continue to do more research.
