Feets / Collection / My build M6 survival rifle 3D printed stock insert/build

Hypothetical for now, but I'm currently working with a local company and trying to gauge people's interest in a 3d printed stock for the chiappa M6 22/12g survival rifles to replace the factory molded polypropylene foam insert.

The new insert would have additional .22 storage similar to pictured and a bit more shallow so the end of the round can actually be grabbed instead of trying to pry it out with a finger nail. It would retain the same 12g and cleaning kit storage holes and likely be printed from some kind of TPU filament to give it a more tacky/grippy feel. Whether it still floats can't be determined without a prototype in hand but the weight difference would probably be negligible. The entire insert would be mostly hollow with a honeycomb pattern inside for rigidity under recoil.

Not sure how many people actually own these things and would be interested since they definitely don't have the same following as the little badger.

What’s the overall cost? In principle I love it but when we start comparing the value proposition gets a bit stark?

To be decided after a prototype is done and I'm happy with the fit. I'd try to keep it on the cheaper end for sure, what would you realistically be comfortable paying for something like this?

Ah. I was meaning overall unit cost as outfitted!

Love the concept. Support local all the way. Just trying to understand total unit price point. Very cool OP. If it floats fully kitted I think that is a major bonus.

Ah my bad! The standalone rifles are usually $580-$650 depending on sales or who's selling it etc. If you add the 8 piece adapter kit it just breaks 1k I believe
