  • Brother… that’s not how CNC machines work.

    You need the CAD files… You can then generate G-Code for your specific CNC machine…

    You also can’t really rifle a barrel on a mill. You’d need to do ECM or use a button…

    Buy a complete upper online. Print a frame. Buy some rails. Buy a LPK and some magazines online too. If you can’t do all that, maybe this ain’t for you.



  • “Bump stock” means any device or instrument for a firearm that increases the rate of fire achievable with the firearm by using energy from the recoil of the firearm to generate a reciprocating action that facilitates repeated activation of the trigger.

    Our opinion on that is that “recoil” is the mode of operation. Hence why we sell to NJ.

    If you were to bolt the rifle to a bench rest or similar - a bump stock would not work, but a super safety would.

    Recoil is the impulse of the whole rifle backwards - not the gas system pushing the BCG backwards.












  • I’m running a simple cron-based reddit to Lemmy bridge over at !bazaar@fosscad.io to pull from r/gundeals - it doesn’t do comments right now. It also only pulls posts with a certain number of upvotes. It’s a bit noisy, and we don’t have OP/commenters available on Lemmy for a good discussion.

    I’ve written more advanced mirroring scripts for re-uploading archives of r/fosscad to !ark@fosscad.io

    My concern with two-way mirroring would be Rule 7 violations in comments on Lemmy, getting mirrored to Reddit, and causing bans.

    I think we should encourage people to join us here, as much as possible, while keeping the subreddits alive enough to be an on-ramp to the GCI/Fosscad Lemmy instances.









  • FWIW - I don’t disagree with you.

    That said, banning a community without warning - for rules that were changing but not yet announced is uncool.

    Personally, I’m dealing with the same de-platforming from eBay. They don’t like gun parts very much, but their rules are frustratingly vague at times. Hard to sell. And the traffic on eBay is hard to give up.

    Granted, it’s their private business and therefore their decision.

    The more annoying issue is that it’s a public company in the case of Reddit, so their rule changes are more rooted in public opinion. Which is the larger issue imo.
