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.

You would probably make more selling the 3mf or stls on cults for 15 bucks then selling stock kits personally, you also get the us market as well

This is true, however it was a bit difficult to actually find a place with a large enough printer to do it all in one piece. Maybe both could be offered for those that don't have access to a printer
