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.

UPDATE
Guy has had a pretty hard time getting all the holes lined up, it was quite difficult getting a good scan of the foam and there were a ton of micro adjustments that had to be estimated and printed to test each time. Pretty slow going and lots of tweaks still but a bit of progress
