Shitpost / Memes A 3D Printer. A Hacksaw and a Idea.
Gonna be building a Nice little 45-70 rifle. Folding 1913 stock. Cut the barrel down just to the 26" OAL Mark. Once the stocks done. Should be fun to sling 550gr Campros at 1000fps.

PA6-PA12 then annealed in 80C water for 15 mins then air dried for 24hrs is what I would use to handle the recoil.

Very cool idea, please keep us updated. I've got a 44mag scout and been thinking about shortening it also.

Love this rifle, easiest entry to 45-70. It's also a fantastic performer, quite accurate and great trigger. Make an underfolder pistol grip, that'd be nuts. Metal parts for the hinge, as I fear anything else would be iffy with that recoil.
