In the spirit of A2 retro revitalization that TRA started within the contextual confines of LSW reproductions (and which PSA's H&R took cue of for later this year), I want to use a new old-stock rifle-length, round handguard-capped HBAR assembly I already have in order to budget-build my own upper, using a 3DP'd handguard.
Unfortunately, the only existing handguard I could find (link points to a paid version; the free original is sailing the seas but is identical) has a triangular handguard cap design in lieu of the original square cap. I cannot for the life for me separate the cap insert ribs in this file in order to insert round tabs instead. Could I get some CAD help (i.e., if someone could do this for me ) with redesigning the handguard cap inserts on this one? Don't want to waste time 'reinventing the wheel' if there's an easier way to do this. |

Not sure I know what you are looking for. Removing the triangular boss is simple enough. What do you want replacing it? Similar height boss? what outer diameter?

I don't know if you're using Creo or Sketchup, in SolidWorks the whole thing was one object so I had to manually splice it, for me at least it's hard because I'm not very proficient in SW, and that's about the only CAD I got. If you could place the circular handguard cap boss onto the cleaved surface you presented in the first image there, that's what I'd need, for both the left and right objects. EDIT: And I'm not sure about the diameter, I know for a fact it isn't the same diameter as the barrel nut side, because that is almost always a larger size. If you just take the same circular handguard boss from a similar handguard file out there, I'm sure that would do just fine. |
|
|
Okay, I'll get some measurements off that example. Were you wanting the rifle length hand guard or carbine?
Working in Fusion 360. Can output step or stl, any preference? |
|
|
OK, snipped off the round boss from the round handguard & applied it to the LSW. Hopefully properly centered, but double check before printing. Still left/right halves. The round boss had an undercut that I filled in for a flat surface. If that is not wanted, let me know.

View Quote Thank you!! This looks great. Yes, I would have been working off of a rifle-length handguard variant. Any 3D CAD output works (.stl, .step, etc.), as I'll convert it in Cura to gcode. This is already worthy of pub reposting but if you want to directly share feel free to drop me a DM and we can share links non-publicly. EDIT: By properly centered, did you mean that the center of the round boss corresponds to the center of the barrel-side hole, or that the center boss is aligned on the center of the cap-side face? Should be the former not the latter, but I don't know if the centers would actually be the same. |

I centered the imported boss center on the original round opening on the LSW as best I could while working with clipped solids. Looks good to me ... see picture.
Currently having problems with private web site, seems offline. DM an email addy if you want to get the files as an email attachment |

I've tried searching a bit but not enough to be able to conclusively assert that that idea exists or doesn't. For my G3/AR-10, it would be a lovely touch, and I'm sure it would be as well for many more people out there... |

It'd be cool to see what a 'fusion' of the two stock systems would look like. Obviously I didn't anticipate that the dimensions would work 'straight out of the box' per se, but if the stock could be lengthened to fully accommodate a carbine-length, or A5-length buffer tube, and the dimensions near the top of the stock expanded, I'm sure it would work rather well. I would assume of course, that the G3/CETME stock's recoil spring hole could be deleted, or the entire chunk of material there for that matter, so that the stock's height doesn't extend well beyond the top of the lower's buffer tower. |

View Quote It looks like buffer tube length is a non-issue. Typical M4 style buffer tubes look to be about 7.25 inches. You'd definately have to swell the upper portion of the stock to have enough material to enclose the buffer & still have the buffer tube interference with the sling opening & a need to trim down the "hump" at the connection to the lower. Not sure if there would be enough resemblance to the G3 stock left, after modifications, to make it worthwhile (?). You'd basically end up with something that looks pretty much like an 16 rifile stock. |
|
|
Maybe some elemenrs of the stock aren't that relevant, like the sling bushing. Perhaps just the general shape, which resembles the Stg-44 stock of course, with those takedown pin inserts?
|
|
|
Not sure the juice is worth the squeeze. Had some time & did a quick stock based on the G3 outline. Lined it up with an upper/lower & shaved off the top bump for charging handle clearance. What's left is not much different from the M16 rifle butt.

Hello,
Trying this again...Looking for help with an idea...should be fairly easy, I just don't have the technical skills. All I need printed is a modified AR22 magazine to connect to a GSG-16 drum. The neck of the drum is detachable, so the bottom of the AR22 mag would need to be the dimensions of the mounting section. I've had a friend try a prototype with just pictures and dimensions and it was almost functional, so anyone who is decent with software could easily make this happen. I can mail anyone the existing neck piece so they will physically have the attachment part I need added to the AR22 magazine. There seem to be plenty of AR22 magazine files out so that part is already done. Please message/email me if you are interested in helping or have questions. Thanks! |

View Quote Not a solution but a suggestion: get a Black Dog Machine 10rd .22LR AR mag (they're like < $15 across different places) and after removing the floorplate, mount it by nuts & bolts to the opening of your drum. You could 3DP this adapter, but depending upon your choice of filament and capability of printer (i.e., nozzle temp), you might not get a sufficiently rigid magwell that will hold the weight of the gong-style drum when fully loaded and inserted into your magwell. I'm running into the same issue when I tried to modify my ProMag AK drum, as its neck is detachable as well and I wanted to make a STANAG-patterned feed tower for it. Another general request: has anyone 3D-modelled Beta C-MAG's feed clip towers for any of their drums? Am interested in a M16/STANAG patterned variant, as another set of ARFCOMers once desired in order to save a bit. My purpose is so I can elongate the standard M16 feed clip to accommodate for clearance on one of my bullpups and a CNC'd billet lower that has a flared magwell. Looks like this: If anyone has an iPhone 13 and the right app to convert LiDAR scans into CAD files, please hmu and I'd love to send this and some other parts for scans |

Thanks for the advice!
I've been working with a few people on this and have had some almost functional results in the past (I don't have any design experience so its been more time effective to have others do the digital work). There are plenty of AR22 files out there already, so its really just getting the "legs" in the correct location with the feed channels lining up. Having a slightly larger ammo channel in the adapter might even help with reliability. The weight has not been an issue with previous designs either thankfully. Here are some pics and measurements I took Drum Adapter |

I am in need of a small 3D print job done. I have two magazine followers that need a small lip on them. I need help to add a small profile to a mag follower or to start over with a new follower. The manufacturer acknowledged a mistake during production and sent a different magazine. I have two mags that have a bad follower and rather than throw them away I wanted to see if I could fix them. I did reach out to the manufacturer of the magazine; they don't support sending out followers. However, they sent me two brand new mags with the correct follower and told me to do what I pleased with the old two.
I was just hoping to do something with them instead of throwing them out. They are for a 6.5 Grendel. They're a plastic or poly material. The correct one is 3/8" taller and the brass follower is covering most of the side. The incorrect one has a short "bump" not all the way to the end. I can't add pics to this site, but I can text photos to anyone that might be able to help. |

Could someone generate a Gallowtech compatible bayonet holder?
I'm envisioning two different files, one with a thicker "hook" for handles, and one thinner for blades. I think horizontal hanging would be the easiest to design and the most efficient use of storage space. You can see the Gallowtech tab design (with screw hole) here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4610821 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4610845 I might suggest that if it spans two vertical slots that it should hold multiple bayonets, as space would run out quickly. |

Would someone here be willing to work with me on a simple designed cover and once we get it right, print me 4 of these Minimum, maybe 6 if not too much trouble? I'd prefer half of them in Red for Positive and half of them Black for Negative. So they be like matched pairs. Or I could live with all Black or whatever color, if the color is an issue.
