1.) That's about a thousand dollars short of a functional CNC mill. NOT INCLUDED - This is just the CNC machine with motors. You will need a 3 Axis Stepper Motor Driver to manage each motor, a spindle/cutter (a Dremel would work) and a DC power supply for the driver. You will also need a computer with a standard printer port and CNC software. - You will also need a way to mount and secure the spindle/cutter tightly to the Z-axis plate on the machine. 2.) It can't mill metal. 3.) A mill's the wrong tool for a barrel. You'd use a lathe for that, and even then it'd be smoothbore, without the tool to cut rifling.

re 3) the only regulated (in US) gun part is the lower receiver which looks like this: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:11669 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:11669 A mill is the right tool for that (though, it's tricky and some manual work will be required) A barrel is available for online purchase (in US) No problem here. For other countries, with stricter gun regulations, like Russia, making a barrel would be a problem, but it's usually solved with a Deep Holl Drill (using a steel rod or cylinder as a source)
