M1337 anybody else have thoughts

[Wombat of Doom]

I realize that this is probably banned in most states that are not free, but has anyone else looked into making one of these?

Thoughts? It's a .223 Gatling gun that takes belts. It is a crank powered Gatling gun so not an automatic and indeed, not even semi auto. The idea is intriguing to me as I always wanted a Gatling gun.

It is on my list of prints when I get a large format printer that can do nylon, and I find an FFL willing to serialize some dog tags. IIRC someone is working on a 37mm or 26.5mm version of this so it wouldn't run a foul of the undetectable firearms laws since then it would be a flare launcher not a firearm (it might be a separate project but the same concept).

The same dev just opened the beta up for a Bolt action that uses an AR barrel and bolt you can find them on odysee.

I'd send them a couple bucks if I knew they would spend it on video lights

Make one that takes .68 cal Byrna pepper balls. Mount it on a police car with a hopper feed. For a gentle and kindlier Summer of Love 2.0.

This is still out there somewhere?

This reminds me of when I was young, 14. The time in the article fits pretty well with what memory I have. We had a neighbor who made small things on his lathe. The only thing I ever remember seeing though was this Gatling Gun. I don't know who "Karl J. Furr" is though. Paul Kuni had the gun in his possession and as far as I knew it was built in his basement, it may have been a collaborative effort. The gun HAS been fired though! Neighbor Paul brought the thing down to show dad one day, they loaded it up with fifty or so 22 shorts and fired them into an old stump in the back yard from 15'-20'. This was a rural town called Midvale 12 miles South of city center, Salt Lake City. Houses weren't THAT far away, though they weren't jambed close together either. LOL

Amazing, putting a name in Google, and having something from so far in MY past come up!

EDIT: I was curious of who Karl Furr was so I searched and came up with a phone number for a son, Douglas Furr. I was able to reach Douglas and had a nice long conversation. What a pleasure that was! Apparently there were a group of mechanical engineer type guys, including my neighbor Paul Kuni, that got together and built many of these guns. They worked at the Geneva Steel Plant in Orem Utah and would gather after work at the Furrs house. The Furrs, son and dad, are still building guns.

This is a 1/3 scale Model 1883 Gatling gun on a brass field carriage made by the renown Karl Furr of Orem, Utah. Chambered in .22 short rimfire, this actually shoots and will fire up to 800 rounds per minute. Must be sent to an FFL dealer. 64 round Accles drum magazine. 18" diameter wheels with beautiful highly figured black walnut spokes, brass hubs, and brass tires. This is a very early Furr 1883 Gatling, serial # 09, and is signed on the bottom in engraving pencil "Made by, Karl J. Furr, No 9, Paul J. Kuni, Orem, Ut. 1969" in five lines. The barrel group measures 18 1/2" long not counting the tiller handle. 10 .22 caliber rifled barrels enclosed in a brass casing. The rear of the barrel group has two spirit levels for leveling the gun. This is not classed as a class III machine gun. If you can own a rifle, shotgun, or pistol, you can legally own this masterpiece in most states! The brass looks to have never been polished, and has a nice mellow mustard color. Really great, possibly unfired condition.

Price: $11,500.00

there used to be a couple paintball mini guns available, but looking now they seem to all be defunct. Tippman should get on that.

We used to have a 1863 Gatling in 45/70.
Nothing survived.

I'd imagine in a free state the bolts and barrels would provide enough metal to not run afoul of undetectable firearms laws, along with the stainless steel insert in the receiver. Personally running a mock up in pla+ and will do nylon later.

I mean Oregon's undetectable firearms act, it is supposed to ban 3D printed guns (as written it doesn't)

THIS. WOULD. BE. AWESOME!

I have an interview with Nopel pending for a Thetruthaboutguns.com article, and I'm working to get an m1337 in for photos (not much headway on that yet, just started)

Amazing concept and design so far

 

[CountryGent]

Oh ... that looks like fun.

You will have to post it here or message me the link

Old post, but figured this info might come in handy regardless
To comply with the undetectable firearms law, the weapon needs a minimum of 3.7 ounces of metal. Doesn't take much to get there, a pile of 5.56 barrels are definitely gonna get there

Thats the Federal Law, Oregon law calls anything without an FFL engraved (or federally registered) serial number an undetectable firearm, you can't have an FFL serialize something that doesn't exist yet and if you have something to serialize you've already broken the law. You can avoid this by filing for a form 1 to manufacture an NFA firearm, SBR, SBS, etc, and get the serial number engraved before you hit print but until January that's an extra $200.

Yeah, Oregon shut the door on that, and it's BS. Fairly disgusted with Oregon's legal actions in general. I've been here my whole life, and never really wanted to leave until recent years. Even now, I don't really want to leave. I just want to give Portland to Washington
I hadn't thought about the NFA registry, that's clever.
