The problem with firearms is of course the "thought crime" aspect of the recent/current? BATF stance on making a firearm w/o an FFL, using it, and selling it, as well as ITAR concerns.

Naturally, there are DefCAD/Defense Distributed and the like and a couple of very active subreddits/forums and some new developments/techniques.

Arguably, 1st Amendment + 2nd Amendment == the right to 3D print firearms, but of course, no one aside from Cody Wilson wants to be the poster child for that court case, note the example made of Philip Luty in England and his writings.

For internal combustion engines, small models are popular things (have you at least purchased a Revell Visible V8 model?)

Yeah, but no such thing where I live unfortunately. Meanwhile I'll just watch Mark Serbu's fun experiments.

OIC.
Maybe do air guns instead? There's a big modding community around them, and PCP weapons can be quite powerful (though maybe also regulated?)
Perhaps try an Olympic Match air pistol? Or purchasing a basic model and re-working it to make it match-quality?

  Yes, PCPs can be powerful but just because the gas pushing the projectile is different does not mean other laws apply !
  I could probably build a 22LR rifle in my garage, but the moment the authorities know that, I lose my shooter license.

  How in earth could they know that if you are working alone in your garage ?
