#DefenseDistributed

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves speaks with Cody Wilson of Defense Distributed about their newest project: A “0%” chassis-based Glock. Mr. Wilson demos this wild new concept in today’s video.

In this spooky Halloween episode of TFBTV, James Reeves interviews Cody Wilson of Defense Distributed about the Ghost Gunner 3S. A more advanced version of the Ghost Gunner 3, this at-home milling machine allows shooters to perform DIY RMR cuts on their Glock slides (or, really, any pistol) as well as slide serrations, stippling, and even build AR lowers from ZERO PERCENT receivers – i.e., plain blocks of metal. The Ghost Gunner 3S is a hardware and software upgrade, but Cody goes into more detail about the differences between the GG3 and GG3S and the endless possibilities for at-home mods and builds.

When the Ghost Gunner 3 came out, there was a lot of potential mentioned by Defense Distributed. One major upgrade from previous generations of the Ghost Gunner (GG) is the fact the GG3 can cut steel. Well, Defense Distributed put up a teaser video on their Instagram. GG3 Glock optics cut is happening.

Defense Distributed (DD) came out with the Ghost Gunner to help freedom-loving individuals machine 80% receivers with more precision for a garage builder. Other than buying a HAAS or similarly expensive CNC machine, the Ghost Gunner gets the job done. Well now that 80% are in danger of being restricted and regulated, DD came up with the 0% lower receiver kit. They sent one of their kits in for review so let us dive in and see how the 0% lower receiver build process is and how the receiver works.

Down in the Big Easy on the last day of GunFest 2021, Cody Wilson and his team from Ghost Gunner brought out their Ghost Gunner 3 and a new product that has been highly anticipated for the past year. The Ghost Gunner AK-47 kit is finally here.

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves interviews Cody Wilson about the Ghost Gunner 3 and about Defense Distributed’s future in 2021.

Following the debate and legal actions surrounding 3D Firearms printing this summer a new bill has been introduced to Congress attempting to ban the sale, purchase and distribution of 3D printed firearms parts and to require homemade firearms to have serial numbers.

The ban on the publication of 3D printed firearms blueprints has been extended in a ruling by a federal judge in Seattle. Cody Wilson’s Defense Distributed won the right to publish the plans and files to print weapons back in July, when a federal judge and a number of states moved to block the publication. On Monday 27th August the Court placed a Preliminary Injunction on publication of the files essentially extending the ban on publication as the case against Wilson progresses.

A federal Judge from the Western District of Washington, based in Seattle, temporary block on the publication of a series of 3D printed firearms plans by DEFCAD.com. The plans had been due to go online on 1st August, after the way was cleared for publication by a Justice Department ruling in June.

After a drawn out battle, Defense Distributed was set to release blueprints tomorrow that could used to manufacture 3D Printed Guns. That is until a Federal Judge just issued a restraining order to block the release of the gun blueprints, according to the Associated Press.

In 2015 we reported that Defense Distributed had teamed up with the Second Amendment Foundation to sue the Department of State over the “Censorship of 3-D Printing Information”. Three years later it has emerged that Defense Distributed and the Second Amendment Foundation have been successful, winning their case and achieving a settlement with the government.

New and Improved!

Andy Greenberg, of Wired, wrote an article about his experience using the Ghost Gunner CNC milling machine by Defense Distributed. Andy tried three types of AR lower gunsmithing. He started with the traditional 80% lower and tried to use a drill press. His results were unsatisfactory. Andy does admit he has very little knowledge about tools and gunsmithing.

Cody Wilson is not one to shy away from a fight, much less choose enemies his own size. In a David vs. Goliath match-up, Defense Distributed has teamed up with the Second Amendment Foundation to sue the Department of State over “Censorship of 3-D Printing Information.”

Defense Distributed’s project to produce and sell machines that can create firearms receivers for individual hobbyists is now being realized. “Ghost Gunner” miniature CNC machines are, after several delays, finally shipping. From WeaponsMan:
