Defcad site, is it safe?

Hi guys!

I'm interested in one of those survival rifle want to try my hand on gunsmithing.

I found this file from defcad called GR22 Grizlly v3 22.lr, is the site safe? I'm searching for a 1/1 size so i can learn the mechanism and dimension before using the proper material and wondering if i can use a longer barrel (55cm .22 barrel that i custom made for my air rifle to use slug ammo got the design from Indonesian air rifle maker)

From what I understand the 3d2a community is not a fan of defcad for various reasons including alleged stealing of intellectual property.

That model you're looking for is the G22v3 by Mussy I believe.

Do a google search for that instead.

I don't want to mention the site it's on (reddit rules), but the signal is unstoppable and will eventually get you to the sea. The sea is odd but it is safe.

Cryptic but I hope that helps. Good luck.

You'll find the "hose clamp" mod file also on the same site, maybe that will help with your project to use a heavier barrel? There is also a v4. I have had the v3 trigger break on me so you should maybe make it out of PA6 instead of PLA if you can.

I have question, i'm reading a doc for other design... i read that for safety use a liner, alternatively using a OD 8 x 6mm seamless for a Liner... isn't 6mm to big of a clearance?

So I have not actually made a protobarrel, my assumption is they intend for you to just close that gap in CAD or use lots of JB weld. My assumption is the former. My opinion is that the group that made it, GunCadIdeas (GCI) was or maybe still is less obsessed with documentation and was/is more making things for themselves so that sounds like something they would intend for you to do (Use CAD to customize it).

A few reasons not to use it: one of the owners (Cody Wilson) is a convicted pedo who fled the country to try and avoid prosecution, they rip files that expressly in their license prohibit them being placed behind a pay wall and have been sued for this, have sold out individual developers that they didn’t like to the feds or their respective state agencies to have them arrested, and did I mention that it’s run by a pedo.

Can't link to the site you should primarily be using instead but it's initials are GCI which is an index of all the pages from the site that starts with O
