A man in Sacramento, California has pleaded guilty to one count of unlawful manufacture of a firearm and one count of dealing firearms.
According to federal prosecutors, Daniel Crowninshield, known online as "Dr. Death," would sell AR-15 blanks, which customers would then pay for him to transform into fully-machined lower receivers using a computer-numerically-controlled (CNC) mill. (In October 2014, Cody Wilson, of Austin, Texas, who has pioneered 3D-printed guns, began selling a CNC mill called "Ghost Gunner," designed to work specifically on the AR-15 lower.)
"In order to create the pretext that the individual in such a scenario was building his or her own firearm, the skilled machinist would often have the individual press a button or put his or her hands on a piece of machinery so that the individual could claim that the individual, rather than the machinist, made the firearm," the government claimed in its April 14 plea agreement.
