Unbuffered Pistol

3D Printer-extraordinaire WarFairy has expanded his P90-styled Charon printable AR-15 lower from a single design into an entire line of printable rifle and pistol lowers.

The original Charon receiver design has been upgraded to version 0.2. The updated model features a thicker magazine well with a finger hook (I am sure someone more knowledgable than I can explain in the comments below what finger hooks are for … ).

The most exciting new addition to the Charon line is the Carbine, Adjustable Stock. The stock on this model slides out from under the buffer tube to adjust the length of pull. The length of pull is adjustable from 11.3″ to 14.4″.

Good looking work, but I don’t want the breech of that 3d printable thing next to my eye.

Apparently it is a standard upper?

Yes, but at least one of the pistol designs requires a bufferless upper.

In theory, many of these plastics could actually act as recoil buffers..

The charge on a 5.56 is not excessive, but I have trepidation about plastic guns.

I think the bufferless lower is for .22 RF conversions.

Makes more sense.

I like what folks are doing, but let’s stay safe out there.

Ralphie: “Horrified I heard myself blurt out: I want a Bushmaster XM-15 E2S in 5.56 with a 30 round magazine and include a Red Dot, a Magnifier, a Laser, a Weapon Light, a Bipod and a 2 Point Sling!” Mom: No, you’ll shoot your eye out” Ralphie: “Oh no!!!! It was the classic mother-AR 15 ‘Assault Rifle’ gun block! That deadly phrase uttered many times by hundreds of mothers was not surmountable by any means known to kid-dom!”

"The charge on a 5.56 is not excessive, but I have trepidation about plastic guns."

Does that include Glock, or only 3D printed ones??
