It is illegal here to manufacture, sell, or buy a magazine that holds more than 20 rounds of ammo. That why I made this replica. This is a non functioning replica. (It is missing a spring)

I was trying to make a statement with this print. It's a red, white and blue AR-15 Mag with video game grip tape.  At the time, there were inquests into violence in video games.

Depends on your country. In the Good Ol' US of A that is not so:

Per provisions of the Gun Control Act (GCA) of 1968, 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44, an unlicensed individual may make a “firearm” as defined in the GCA for his own personal use, but not for sale or distribution.

So provided it is metal detectable and not an automatic, you can 3D print just about whatever destructive firearm nonsense your heart may desire.

The firearm cannot be sold or manufactured for someone else. There is a company in Colorado that has a program setup to mill an AR15 lower assembly. The individual goes to the company and they setup the equipment. The "owner" will then press the button to begin the process to manufacture the part. The owner can then purchase the remaining components and assemble the gun themselves to complete the process.
