Is CNC even an effective process to use for barrel making from start to finish? I know it can be used to mill the outer surfaces of a barrel, things like fluting and other features, but on the commercial scale I thought the inside of rifled barrels were typically made by hammer forging. I could be wrong.
On the home scale, I’m sure people will find a way. & anyway the Liberator is 100% printed, IIRC. Of course it’s not in the same world of efficiency and re-usability as a commercially produced firearm, but it is a firearm.
