honestly…i’d doubt it.
Look at the sten…the receiver was the gearbox shell.
Very little spare room.
You’d have more of a chance, with the Halo Blaster…
Or at least fitting a working countdown meter, and sound board.
Pulse rifle gear, in a Halo jobby…hmmm…

Heres a link to one…with a video.
Moving parts etc…
Just pretend its a gel blaster, thats broken already…!!
The M3, better known by its nickname "Grease Gun," earned that name for an obvious reason — its simple stamped-steel tube receiver looked more like a mechanic's tool than a submachine gun. Adopted by the US military in 1942 to replace the more...
If you want one… Hit up Parso prints.
I might grab one, for giggles…
Gotta use that airbrush for something…!!
i suspect the gel version would be a pistol gearbox / tec-9 level performance…
so no big loss…
Go full camo, to bury any print lines…!!
Sadly, there’s a lot of important internal structure in a 3D printed replica that gets in the way of a gearbox.
Or these pollies could pull their heads out of each other’s assholes and just let us have our toys

@DocBob …
These are something that you can legally have in WA…
Legal replicas.
You might wanna find a local person, who can 3d print em for you …
They’re cheap…$50 or so per print…
Better than nothing…!!

Looking good from a distance, but could you imagine sanding, filing, filling and smoothing all those acres of intricate surfaces and then getting a quality paint finish for the final display piece.
I’m pretty sure that you have some idea!

A good well tuned printer and good material can save heaps of time with post processing too.
Correct orientation can save on overhangs that almost always look rubbish and also help improve part strength. Given in some scenarios you can’t get around it but there’s always some room for improvement.

The real question is….
How badly, do you want a Bren.??
It could be a long term project…
A few hours here… a few hours there…
A month or so later…viola…!!

Yeah, my local guy seems to be producing good quality prints.
Very little by way of post processing…
Some materials don’t need painting.!
The recent Burton silver serpent, I got from the states…
Was printed in a sun silk silver. No painting …it gives off that silver sheen .
He found that info out, a nd ordered some in for me…
He must be suspecting, I’ll be a return customer…!!
