M6 survival rifle 3D printed stock insert/build

[u/mapleflounder]

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.

I was literally just on RDSC and saw that thing. Watched a yt review and now here you are.
I’m interested in getting one, I’m just not sure if I’d rather get it over a Henry 30-30 for almost the same price

I will say they SHOULD be a couple hundred $$ cheaper. It has been good so far however, and feels very sturdy

You’re right. I was looking at the m6 with the 8 extra barrels. That one is only like 200 bucks less then the Henry I was looking at whoops
The “standalone” m6 .22/12g is only like 630

If you want the caliber conversion adapters a place called parts only canada sells then individually. I bought the 410/45colt and planning to get the 12g/9mm as well. More economical for me honestly since the kit comes with at least 4 that I'd never use
