I am seeing a lot of cheaper $300ish 3D printers what is their accuracy like?
Noticed that the ones for sale conveniently didn't mention.
I have seen the lower dollar units in action you can see the layers. I am not sure is this is typical of all lower dollar 3D printers.

But the precision on the slightly more expensive makerbot mini is in the tens of thousands of an inch. The makerbot samples look like they were injection moldings. If it can print threads and internal baffling then it can print anything (as long as I can figure out how). A suppressor is the most difficult thing I can think of printing. If the machine and I can print that then I could make just about anything and put it together in sections if it was bigger than what the machine could print.
