Are you familiar with the printed AR-15 Receiver? The 1st one broke under stress but with the new pins its rather solid. The day of the reliably printed gun and magazine has come. I don't think it needs to be in every household to reach market penetration, knowing someone with one will be enough IMO. It doesn't need to appeal to the masses, early adopters are enough.
The thing with receivers is, if you make it for yourself then you don't need any paperwork of any kind (until they just straight-up ban that kind of firearm). If someone else makes it for you, then they have to have a type-7 FFL to manufacture firearms, the piece has to be cereal numbered and you have to use ATF form 4473 to have it transferred to you. An alternative may be to buy an incomplete part and finish it yourself, but that's untested legal ground.
