  • They have improved considerably over the past 5 years and are more than viable for an extended use drop gun than ever before.

    All the better if you can use a sintering 3D printer and then mill the final dimensions to operational spec and choose a design that is less straining on the frame/receiver.

    If you are talking about machining from a billet, that is a serious dedication of time, energy, and finances. It is one thing if you learn to mill for sustainability and self-reliance, a whole 'nother thing if you are that motivated to make guns without the man knowing. You still would be buying a barrel if you can’t drop enough for the setup to make one.


  • Nothing burns cleanly in a fireplace, even gas ones except for ventless ones.

    Anything you burn in a fireplace like wood, oil, fat etc. will produce organic compounds that the fire is unable to break down into non-flammable substances because it does not burn hot enough.

    A wood fireplace accumulates creosote, which can build until it is capable of igniting and cause a chimney fire. Oil and fat combust very poorly and will coat the flue with material that is easier to ignite than creosote. This ends up being a hazard worse than just wood byproducts because they can ignite and then set the creosote burning.
