Dollar Store Challenge
You wouldn't assemble a dollar store gun, would you?
RKS will be putting on a little design challenge for the guncad/ 3D printing folks! Your objective is to design and build a functional firearm from nothing more than a $30 dollar store spend and 3Dprinted parts.
Thanks to @not_spookyguns and @xYeezySZN for helping iron out the challenge rules and such!
The Rules:
$30 max spend on components (ammo and filament costs aren't counted)
Hand tool assembly only. Dremels, and battery drills are acceptable. Keep it reasonable to what most households have access to.
Your build must be able to successfully fire, on video, a modern type cartridge, probably a 22lr in most cases.
No NFA builds. Please mindful of what constitutes an AOW. Since no gun parts are allowed, we have to get creative with rifling.
Make sure to incluse enough metal in your design to stay legal.
Springs, screws, etc. must be sourced from your $30 in purchased parts.
No firearm parts are alowed. Leave your AR-15 fcg set, barrel liners, etc. in the parts bucket for another build.
A liberator or songbird with a Dollar Tree toy on it does not count. Feel free to rob geometry from existing designs, but your design must rely on your $30 dollar store shopping spree.
Please keep it limited to what we all colloquially refer to as a "dollar store." If it has "dollar" in the name, you're good to go.
A successful entry must include a "proof of life" video clip that demonstrates a test fire without any sort of major failure.
Final entries must be submitted to me via Twitter DM or email by November 30th. Judging will be conducted by whatever community elders I can wrangle into a discord.
Entrants must be 18 years of age to participate.
The Prizes:
We might break these into 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place packages.
$75 store credit at RK Spookware
$100 store credit at the CTRL+Pew shop
$60 gift card at the Least Common shop
Free NFA trust notarization ($25 value)
