Search Snazzgun on the odysee and grab you the Aug magazine pack.
Function check so far is great. If you don't have a 3D printer yet you need one. They use AR-15 magazine springs and have been thoroughly tested by the creator. They feel great.   |

How about printed AUG stocks for Long Term Sustainment?

If you have to ask you fail to see the value in this.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By CJofFL: How many Aug mags could one purchase for the price of the printer? Roughly 7-10 if going by the prices i have seen on steyr's website and some magazines on clearance. Ender 3's can be had for $189 This is the wrong question though. How many bullets could I buy for the cost of a reloading press?  The 3D printer allows for numerous components to be printed for the AUG and hundreds of other firearms. |

Clearly the designer has put in a ton of work on these, not at all the janky mags we normally associate with 3D printing. I cant wait to try them. https://odysee.com/@Snazzgun:d They come in sizes 10, 20, 30, 35, 42, which is really cool. I know many have wanted a 20rd options for years. https://www.reddit.com/r/fosscad/comments/1btvp13/42_round_aug_mags_15_layer_height/  |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By CJofFL: How many Aug mags could one purchase for the price of the printer? Zero could be purchased after an AWB ban, import ban, or Steyr going out of biz. This is absolutely a huge deal for long term AUG ownership, especially those living in ban states. Also you can print mag sizes (20rd, 35rd) that can't be purchased at all. |

Interesting and cool project. I haven’t followed the 3d printed AUG receiver. Is that really just a Reddit discussion?

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By H2K: If you have to ask you fail to see the value in this. That's correct. I'll continue buying proven, production mags until some AWB ban, import ban, or Steyr going out of biz. Buying a 3D printer now to make my own mags that are likely inferior to readily available, injection molded mags doesn't make sense to me at this point. That said, I can see it does for some of you. |

FYI, you don't buy a 3D printer to make mags. You buy a 3D printer to make things. Those things could be parts for guns, cars, the house, etc. It is an excuse to learn how to 3D print and learn CAD to make high quality things quickly that you can use. Those same skills can be used to prototype parts so you can take the files to a machinist to make out of metal, or even cast it yourself. Car fasteners and trim pieces are a good use, especially for older cars where they get brittle. I have built spacers for sinks, reloading aides, gun upgrades, car fasteners/parts, repairs for children's toys, actual children's toys, parts to make the 3d printer better, jigs and assembly tools. And now 3D printer guns are a thing, and we know many of them are military tested/used in the conflicts in the Asia Pacific. |

I can afford to buy factory made Aug magazines and can afford to be on the cutting edge of at home firearm and firearm accessories production. It's not about the money and cost efficiency. It's about learning and future proofing as much firearms content as is viable. |

Buying a 3D printer to only make mags is your 2nd or 3rd 3D printer. You buy your 1st 3D printer to make things - mags, guns, stocks, car replacement parts, phone holders, 3D printer parts... |

Society has reached the point where no one can make anything at home. Everything requires a whole industry to make, even simple things. But this seems to reverse that. Hats off to ya'll. |

Plus as these use standard AR springs you could steal/share springs with AR mag stockpile (which I assume most have a lot of relative to AUG mags). |

They pretty much banned a lot of gun parts sales. |

Any enterprising individual feel like printing out some of these for those of us without 3D printers? I’d love a few 20 round mags. I have a few waffles I cut down but I’d be in for 4 20s if someone could oblige.
