Sweden's "Mafia Gunsmith"

From Impro Guns: “Mafia gunsmith” made 3D weapons in his kitchen (Sweden)

“Already 20 years ago, Raimo Huolman, 55, was singled out as “the mafia’s gunsmith”. – I am like Bofors, he said then. Now he has – once again – been sentenced to four and a half years in prison for, among other things, extremely serious weapons offences.

Click thru for several photos, including of his 3D printing set up, and some of the firearms.

Several identical firearms have been seized in recent months and appear to be mostly 3D printed double-action pepper box type revolvers using a Webley-Fosbery type tracked cylinder arrangement.

The chambers are lined with steel and chambered in .22 rimfire. They appear to be functional, but it is hard to say how effective.
