NEW: Turn a Metal Block into an AR-15 Lower at Home with the GG3 Upgrade
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- 80% lowers need not apply: In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves speaks with Cody Wilson about the NEW upgrade to the Ghost Gunner 3 that allows GG3 owners to turn "0% receivers" - regular blocks of aluminum - into AR-15 receivers, and possibly pistol frames and other components. Yes: this means that if you own a Ghost Gunner 3, a software update and a new set of fixtures will allow you to start making your own lowers at home. Cody gives you the details personally on today's TFBTV ep.

This is the way 🇺🇸
I’m with you on that. I just started the home ffl type 7 w/ SOT process. This seems very intriguing
He knows de wae!
@@ethand3577 Weird same...
Dis is de wae brooder
This is the way.
I love this company: no bs, open source, fighting the ATF, making gun laws useless. They’re amazing.
Obviously they won't make it illegal make receivers without a licence.
Yeeeah buddy....Lets go Brandon !!
There's no way this isn't going to be some federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison time if I start grinding out stripped receivers.
@@90whatever shoot whoever comes asking, problem solved
I wish they weren't calling lowers, receivers, we saw the AFT get iffy when there was supposedly the guy group engineering lowers and the AFT didn't want to go to court over the fact that the long defined lower receiver doesn't meet the number of functions required to legally be defined as a receiver.
If the economy keeps going the way it has been, I will soon need a machine that turns blocks of aluminum into groceries.
You’re gonna need that AR.

@Npc Soydischarge Smart enough? Common thugs don't strike me as smart in any measure, but yet they often are in (illegal) possession of a firearm all over the globe. From third world Somali pirates to drug criminals in some of the least gun friendly western countries, they have guns. Even countries that are basically proud with how few firearms they have, like Japan or Australia, have criminals using guns.
And I guarantee those criminals owning guns largely have an IQ in the double digits. Might have gotten it from another criminal with a higher IQ, but point still stands, they have the gun.
say WHHHAAAAATTTTTT? 🤣
"Life will find a way" Dr. Ian Malcolm
@Npc Soydischarge criminals have a good amount of adding to our world's problems but the key thing I've learned, is it's all about your moral code and how you've been raised. And poverty too plays a role in increased crime rate of course so more on that needs addressed for those not making much money.
ATF Guy: "Hey there buddy, looks like you have a 0% lower there. Can I ask where you got it?"
Me: "Sir, it's a beer can."
ATF Guy: "Don't get smart with me, perpetrator!"
I have an 80% scale 80% MAC11 flat on display made from a Budweiser beer can. It says "right to keep and BEER arms", and the 1876 is crossed out to say 1776. Its a multi-level political joke also about double taxation (since its the Alcohol Tabaco and Firearms), also a taxation agency without a single elected representative.
@@jakegarrett8109 very nice. every patriot should have some. maybe even the size of business cards.
@@TheBoatPirate I think as long as its scaled it should be fine, because the blueprint is legal to own. Flashdrives are better though, have the full CAD model for CNC or PDF to print for flats to glue to the piece to drill and cut. I don't own any 2d printers though, except for laser engraving.
@@jakegarrett8109 I need this in my life
@@moisturizingmeerkats6326 You can do it pretty easy, I was able to do this right after emptying a can or two. The easiest way was to print out the PDF (I'm pretty sure I 3d printed the flat, because I don't own a 2d printer so either it came with an STL file for the flat or I traced it in CAD, Its too long ago to remember, also I don't remember how many cans I went through... but that speaks volumes to how easy it was!)
Since the cans are thin, you can use normal high quality scissors, and then trace the print out onto the can and cut. Very easy, and the MAC11 files are online as PDF as well (free). There's also a Professor Parabellum version that looks interesting, so either one makes cool political artwork (which should also be covered under the 1st amendment, and nobody could convince me this isn't political art: its literally art for display, making fun of politics).
As a former CNC machinist and programmer, long time shooting enthusiast and lifelong proponent of personal liberties I back your mission 100%!
Y'all are living my dream. Keep up the great work!
This is great news! I imagine combining this CNC machine with 3d printing and we could build really interesting firearms.
Already happening

They have some video of it, theres one video of it at some sort of event, they make it in 3 parts which are bolted together using threadlock on all the bolts, which explains how they do it in such a small machine, and also means you could do it on a cheaper small CNC machine using the same method
@@farquharsondanUA-cam doesn't like it.
This is so rad. I love this concept. $2500 to have a desktop CNC machine to make lower receivers at home? Man. Now THAT, gun companies...is innovation!
Sounds as if they will add uppers as a serialized item thus making it a gun Sam as a lower. Same deal! Block of aluminum alow, new program and out pops a 0% upper! And maybe a nice raised pad to place a serial number.
@@ledenhimeganidleshitz144 The whole point of making you own is so the government doesn't know you have it so they can't take it. If you have to serialize it then just buy one from an FFL.
I love seeing what the diy crowd is able to do with printers and CNC. Building parts is going to be like the early days of file sharing.
SO FAR ZIP.but as for myself im thinking a STEAM GENERATOR....
It would be nice to see GG4 or 5 turn into a slightly larger more rigid machine that would be a more "open ended" consumer affordable tiny CNC machine. The only PROBLEM with the GG are that they are kind of keyholed into certain size jobs and certain products. I'd love to see the next iterations be more of a "if you can dream it, and do some solidworks, and it fits in an X x X area, you can mill it with this micro CNC. Lots of us would love to make optics risers, flashlight mounts, adapter plates, custom ideas, and a plethora of non firearm parts. Look at what decent 3d printers have grown into.. If I buy a micro CNC, I want a micro CNC not just a firearm builder.
Exactly, I couldn't see myself buying this with such a limited use, but a miniature CNC machine that could create anything you design that fits in it's work envelope would be awesome!
If it would run off SOLIDWORKS or Autodesk files, that would be awesome and have way more utility than just making a lower or 2
@@wombatstriker For real man. I'm used to cutting shit with files and stones and calipers. Even if there was a little chatter, it'd be awesome. Luckily the "hobby home machinist" market is booming.
You've all missed the point of Ghost Gunner. It is a fully functioning CNC mill that runs on G-code, just like every other CNC mill out there. You CAN use Solidworks or Autodesk to do your modeling then run those files through the G-code converter, and feed that to GG. If you've got the G-code for a metal miniature of the Enterprise, it'll spit one out for you. It does not just make gun parts. What they sell is the machine itself which specializes in gun parts and has the programs for gun parts, but you absolutely CAN feed it any program for whatever CNC Milling part you want to make.
@@torjones1701 I meant more with the fixturing. It seems quite specific. I havent looked in a while, but last time I did I couldn't find anyone who had (vertically) installed a more traditonal machine vise. If that is becoming a thing, that's awesome.
The 3d printing gun community was *literally started* by Cody Wilson. The FCG9 has been photographed in the wild being used by rebels against Myanmar. We have already won, even if government refuses to admit it. Huge credit goes to Cody Wilson, and of course the actual designer of the FCG9, J Stark, who was murdered by the German government.
I'm not necessarily taking sides in the Myanmar thing, mind. But those who rebel are always within their rights. The fact that they're building guns entirely outside the control of the State is what we should be celebrating.
If you want to be specific, Stark wasn't the actual designer. The FCG9 was a copy from a Texas designer with possibly one of the first semi-auto printed firearms, and the FCG9 was a minor revision to the AP9 to use metric screws and specified an ECM barrel (which was already a thing). If you want to say "popularized", maybe, but even then, its just a metric reskin and I would say "remixer" (which there are actually more substantial, and impressive remix designers than the FCG was).
Can you imagine being the real designer, and then some kid steals your work plastering their name over it? As a mechanical and aerospace engineer I would be very annoyed (which the designer was since all they were asking for was credit). Seems trashy to steal major credit and all that important testing like that... I personally think all mechanical designs are cool, and small arms designs are excellent for learning to improve almost any commercial product (such as designing for installation, tolerances and their importance, nifty assembly tricks etc). I may not specify "inspired by Eugene Stoner" for unrelated products where I see a cool little feature I add to product, but I'm also not flat out copying like Stark did. I'm glad someone ran with the design though and improved it, but I don't see a reason on hiding credit where credit is due.
@@jakegarrett8109 did not know that.
I don't really agree about that part about those who rebel are always in their rights to. Thats not a concrete correlation...
@@georgewhitworth9742 by definition humans have a right to choose their governance. By definition any government which has to deal with rebellion is overstepping their bounds. Government is the most evil thing humans intentionally do to each other.

Cody is a legend. I love to see companies like DD show how pointless these laws are, especially in this era.
Cody Wilson is a true Patriot! 🇺🇸
The 2A right covers all the way from 0% to 100%.
Anybody with the specs and a milling machine even on old school tooling can do the same thing. It may not be as precise as a CNC (computer numeric control) machine but it will still work. Folks have been doing it for ages. No one can kill the cottage industry.
The point of this is to make creating lowers as easy as pirating music.
Yes but you really need experience or at least training to do it reliably, this eliminates that and gives the average Joe the ability to machine their own firearm parts without having to go through that.
These desktop CNCs aren't going to have anywhere near the tolerances of a 5000 lb 5 axis Bridgeport.
They will still get a lot of jobs done anyway.
@@joenunya8449 yah but you don't need that accuracy or tolerances to machine a firearm.
A $2500 box the size of a desktop printer is much easier for people to buy and use than even a hobby mill and requires less skill.

ya know who else doesnt like this thing other than the AFT? the gun industry. major props to tfb!
Ultimately that's very short sighted. This only helps people make a lower. One single part. They need to buy a whole slew of more parts to make a complete gun. And anyone who's built their own guns knows it is much cheaper to buy a complete gun than buy parts individually. This could make AR parts manufacturers (or Glock parts, or 1911 parts, etc) a lot of money. And this is only for a very small percentage of gun buyers who are willing to build their own guns. It's no threat to the gun industry at all. I see it as a huge boon for the industry.
@@dmk0210 this was exactly what I was going to say.
@@dmk0210 i think thats an optimistic take: that the gun industry would see home manufacturers as too fringe to cut into sales and just big enough a market to sell accesories to. realistically, why wouldnt big gun manufacturers want to maintain a monopoly? with improved cnc, home manufacturers can create their own accesories, even sell them and compete with bigger manufacturers. its basic economics: the fewer manufacturers of any good, the easier it is for existing manufacturers to restrict supply and drive up prices (see: OPEC). i hope youre right that the big manufacturers see the writing on the wall and try to work with new technology rather than fight it like the record industry did with filesharing back in the 00s though
U must be kidding.
Good, they don't need to like it. They only fight for themselves so they can keep manufacturing and making profit. The gun community are the only ones actually trying to fight. Look at the ammo industry and how they're screwing all of us with their pricing and lack of reloading supplies...
Amazingly ridiculous overreach by ATF/DOJ. If you get caught selling an 80% and charged for selling/building guns without a license, ask the court to have an ATF agent chamber and fire a round with that 80%. Then, when they claim that 'it can *become* a firearm with very little extra work,' ask them 'then why are you not charging me for NFA violation for manufacture of an untaxed machine gun? ' I think a jury and judge will see through their bullshit very quickly at this point, given that the difference between an AR-15 lower and an M-16 lower is ONE HOLE.

Cover all your bases. Add in programs to make the upper and lower forging dies, then they won't know what the hell to do.
Cool! I have an idea to make CNC/3DPrinter which incorporates welding head and milling head, so welding head works as "3D-Casting" head or plastic extruder, but for metal and milling head work as final shape maker. But for now it is just an idea. I've seen such hybrid machines made at industrial grade level, but they are combine laser melting possibility with milling - this is very expensive for home use. Welding apparatus with milling work-head much cheaper and simpler. Probably it is possible to make it so small and cheap so it is will fit for hobby/home use.
Good luck sir.
@teebles Yes, exactly.
Well, I see that it is possible to use inductive heating bed only, not as a third tool head, because welding - is a complex process, well studied and it is possible to make 3D welding without deformation of substrate you just need to do all accordingly to correct welding technology.
So it can be hybrid with 2 instruments (mill and welding) and with flat inductive heating bed.
And in addition it is possible to add a thermal camera with wide range of sensitivity (0 - 700C) and to use computer vision to control the process of welding and correct temperature regimen of welding.
Interesting thing. When I will have time I'll try to make it.
And with the help of a small induction crucible, you can easily process aluminum shavings or previously made products, having previously grinded them (with some losses for oxides and slag). And by casting into a long graphite crucible with a thin channel, again make aluminum wire from this waste.
It may be possible to make a jetmetal printer by analogy with inkjet printers. Drops of metal, if they just drip onto a hot metal surface, behave very unpredictably. But if the drops are small and fall fast enough, they will stick where they fell. And if the ambient temperature is sufficient, then they will be fused onto a metal surface (as in laser sputtering). It is not difficult to make a jet nozzle for such a printer, for this it is necessary that in the graphite crucible inside the induction coil there is a moving part inside, also made of graphite, which would change the volume of the crucible by the volume of the drop and sharply squeeze this drop out of the crucible. On the other side of the crucible, the aluminum wire fed into the crucible will serve as a plug.
And so you can print not only with aluminum but also with any other metal that can be melted using an induction heater. True, it is desirable to carry out all operations like welding with argon.
I'm a crotchety old man (73) that loves all his guns I only have 3 guns that have wood on them, I was an electronics tech that worked in windows since 3.1. and I still want this thing.

Nice to see the miniaturization of CNC machines. Really impressive stuff with the probe and vibration management.
I love it but the only thing is that it only mills the top half of the lower receiver without the buffer tower ring. You have to actually buy the bottom half of the receiver and the buffer tower ring for 85 bucks from their website. As far as I know you can’t use the GG3 to mill those out but if you were able to that would be well worth it!
Can this machine be used to make Car parts? I like the CNC features and the accuracy, and want a small desktop CNC machine like this.
Cody Wilson should setup a side company that builds these machines for makers and mechanics, separate from Defense Distributed, so that the same technology can get out there to everyone.

Great job Cody!
Can it build a phased plasma rifle in the 40 watt range?
Just what you see, pal. 😛
All you have to do to turn a metal block into an AR15 lower is follow the procedures for getting a serial number and putting that serial number on the block. No milling required. If you tape a Rare Breed trigger to it you need to re-register it as a machinegun.
Can't wait to see the news stories that are gonna come with this.
To me at home optic cuts is something I’m interested in.
GG Ghostgunner now were talking full run cnc/mill lets freakin goooo
Godspeed Mr Wilson.
You can always go the RF15 style mill route and upgrade it for CNC. That is more or a dive into machining and CNC than some may want but it's far more flexible in what you can do. The GG is cool if your only interested in producing what it's designed for.
Not keen about the whole "lower receiver in 2 halves" idea...? Are they getting bolted together ?
Still appreciate all the work he's put into the concept. 💪
Perhaps the two halves is a bit of a kludge. However, adding a few lumps and bumps and maybe a location pin or two and some extra bolts and a little lock tight red may make a functional lower. And so, here is a thumb in the eye to the ATF! Which is the point I think.
I understand your target market and motivation. I'm wondering if you have considered making a model that can do more generic desktop machining. There are desktop metal cutting CNC mills on the market today, which I'd love to have, but the have a price tag that's way out of reach. It would be great to be able to buy a CNC mill like yours, at or near your price point, that could do anything. It would also be great if you could make that machine as simple to operate as your current machine for us retired hobbyists.
Been watching more printshoot channels than regular guntube recently. Love that you post this.
Doing the Lord's work there. Can't stop the signal!
I see a future where the ATF considers aluminum billets and milling machines as machine guns.
Technically Mark Serbu turned his CNC machine into a full auto (the bit would punch the primer, and then move to next cylinder), but he's also a registered machinegun manufacturer and did it to show that yes, a milling CNC machine can be a 1 click full auto.
Quick question 🙋🏼♂️ when machining a ”0%” with this gg3 how do they do the mag well!? What about a 1911 mag well? Doesn’t it take a EDM CNC machine To produce 100% accurate mill spec mag well?
Look at the “completion kit” on their website. It is a 3 part design, you purchase the mag well and buffer tube mount.
Perfect, I'm going to purchasing One now. Next step is make uppers from blocks of metal
You didn't hear it from me, but with the right diameter tubing, a router and 3d printed jigs you can make the guts of an AR upper. Look up the CHONK-15.
Then, for the GG4, it'll need to include a bin to melt pop cans into a block once the ATF bans selling blocks of aluminum as "firearms" because of the GG3.
I own that 5.11 shirt as well. It looks a little tighter on James than on me however. 😂
He wears a smedium
I just feel sorry for his dog...
glad to see cody still at it after all the trouble he has had with the government he started something a lot bigger than i ever thought possible
Long Live Cody Wilson.
Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of this machine. But if they ban 80%, it's still a huge win for the anti guners, just like the NFA the goal was never to ban anything it was to make it unaffordable and a $2,500 machine to do what used to be able to be done with a drill and some jigs or an old clapped out manual Mill still keeps home builds out of the hands of the poores, which is their entire goal...
$2500 can be saved up, and that the price without economy of scale. Imagine, if the demand is there, and the competition, these machines would see a enormous price decrease while getting better over time.
Bro $2,500 is like one AR you can buy this machine
Not a gun guy myself, don’t have time for it, but I do stay up on the top political stories, and I’m a big fan of the Constitution…..That said, this technology along with 3D printing are a classic example of why Gun Control doesn’t and can’t ever work, first it inspires innovation, there wouldn’t be a 1/4 of the firearms and firearm products on the market that there is currently, nor would most people know that these things existed for purchase by the law abiding citizen and secondly what is the government going to do regulate raw materials, that they believe are firearms in their rawest forms? Good luck and that’s a rhetorical question by the way! Alphabet agencies need to enforce gun laws on the books, and stop inspiring innovation in areas of the economy that they don’t want to see organically grow out of their poor out of touch decisions.
There shouldn't be any gun laws for the alphabet agencies to enforce in the first place.
I was looking at these for the holidays and so glad I waited as with another FRT, 3-position and Ghost Gunner is a necessity to any patriots toolbelt.
Can’t stop the signal! This needs to go worldwide!
An FGC-9 has already been seen in a war zone.
It's just a matter of time.
Whats the size of aluminum block that would be needed to make a 0%?
10
god damn looks like I need to get one of these lol
Im a cnc machinist and ive build lowers and upper at Sig Sauer. You can alwayz tell if people know machining from their questions. Its like asking a doctor what is cervical spine surgery
Cody Wilson is a god damn hero
If Uncle Sam doesn’t have to follow the law, why should I? I’ll put this to good use if I can get one.
This just in Joe Biden bans raw aluminum. 😂
as a machinist , I think the machine is a good deal just in general .. Other compact and rigid machines are fetching 5-6k , they have no probing system , and programming for a lower would take an expert in both cad and cam
Obvious next iteration should be upper receivers. Way to go guys.
Let’s Go Brandon
I’m so proud to say I’m a part of subscribestar with my channel and although small now I’m getting really good contacts and eventually you’ll no who
Skips Gunz is. Thanks for the platform
I study CNC programming and holy fuck am i impressed by this machine
“Guns, not politics” uh? Come on guys
That tagline has been cringe since they added it.
Promoting freedom upsets you?
Yukky freedom
