How do the grips feel with the shifted angle?
The grips feel fine to me. The left grip is almost identical to the original, while I modified the right one a bit, to lead the index finger better towards the trigger.
I can also reach both triggers quite well, though I do have big hands
Looking great in metal! I wouldn't put that foregrip too far from the trigger guard; it looks much better attached to it and going forward under the barrels (my two cents).
Keep up the great work!
Compared to the original, I shifted several parts a bit to the front, that would otherwise be a lot closer to the trigger guard. I probably could still move parts a bit closer, however, the mechanic for folding the barrel is directly next to the trigger guard. That is why I shifted everything a bit
Here's a closeup of the folding mechanic:
The CNC parts look great, really nice work. We don't have anything like maker space in the UK (at least as far as I know) so our only option is to buy the equipment which for hobby work is normally just uneconomical.
In my hometown we also don't have any maker space, but when I moved to Vienna some years ago, I heard that there is one, and I've have been a member there ever since.
Please put me down for one if you do a run.
I would also be interested if you start a run but no pressure, just nice to see such a creative adaptation of the prop being made .
Since several people asked me I will probably do a run. However, that probably won't happen before end of september, or october, since I'll soon go on holiday.
I want to finish the prototype before leaving, and work out the flaws that I encountered.
For now, here's todays update:
I still found some flaws in the design, that I had to change, but now it's coming along.
Tomorrow I think I can print the final parts
Also, I will have to smooth some of the printed parts a lot more, since with the gloss finish even the finest print line becomes visible :/
On the left side I've now implemented the release button for the barrel to fold.
I hope that I can get it to work by tomorrow as well
