I'd sincerely recommend everyone to read his manifesto and think about it a little bit.

The most reliable one I have uses an AR style fire control group, and large metal pieces for the bolt, and pre-hardened hydraulic tubing for the barrel.

There's plenty of metal in it, all held together via 3d printed parts and frame

The only things I needed to buy that I would consider "from a firearm" or "from a gun store" would be the fire control group. Everything else was bought from McMaster Carr or local hardware stores.

Spot on with the woodworking. I've made a couple stocks for my grandfather's old broken long rifles. It's just more time consuming. (also my 3d printer isn't that long)

I was mostly thinking of the handgun builds I've seen with hand made slide rails but the rest is just a Glock(or whatever else base gun) parts kit for everything else.
