      Yeah, DIAS aren’t $20 or that easy to make and as such aren’t as common on the black market. They are doable for someone with machining skills but for an AR a lightning link is the normal illegal conversion.

          It’s not super complex design but it requires multiple, small and somewhat precise pieces. Someone with enough skill could absolutely do it but there are far easier options than a sear so homemade sears aren’t something that is seen that much among illegally modified ARs.

              There’s more to it than just clicking print. DAIS require multiple pieces across several axles to interface correctly. Lightning links you can make with tin snips and a flat piece of steel.

                  Cnc vs printing semantics aside, the strength of the ghostgunner is milling out receivers, not crafting internals. True DIAS are far harder to make than a simple piece of flat metal over the trigger group. The simpler, easier to print, ones are far less reliable and common. A sear is not the preferred way to convert an AR.
