“3D print for magazines for 1911, M1A, FNFAL, Glock”


The sticking point on any mag is the spring. Printing them is going to be very tough. OTIH, they are cheap and readily available everywhere, and”they” would have trouble banning springs.

I have seen plastic flat Z springs that work in AR magazines. However they wear out and take a “set” much faster than metal ones. I see them as a temporary solution at best.

Perhaps a positive image for a cast? Melt down some brass and pour into a mold? Wish I had the time to play with this.

I am sure that round springs would be much more difficult.
