We have a 3 and a 4 axis Cnc mill as well as a Cnc lathe with live tooling which probly won't help much on this project. I'm gonna play with it over a long period of time, I am thinkin of totally different porting to increase flow with custom manifolds. As long as I get oil to the places that need it and some volume of coolant through it I am happy. I don't think cooling will be much of an issue if the system I efficient enough.

They can, just not in steel. Right now just plastic. My brother is thinking of buying one of those machines.

Print one in wax, then make an investment casting from any commonly available foundry alloy.

A plastic printed AR15 can fire 600+ rounds, I bet we can idle for a minute with a plastic head.

Huh. The one I saw fired 6 rounds and snapped in half.
