Gun and gear reviews Buffertube adaptor taipan x
Unknown at this time maybe I’ll still end up coughing up the money for the fox operator buffer tube but I said to my self last night why not just make your own. So I present to you this thing. Here’s a v1 prototype I’ve got a few changes to make and reprint it for test fitting but this is functional . I just tossed on a random stock for photos I plan on using a prs lite or a moe/ctr stock. Thanks for looking!

Manael makes an aluminum one ($$) or you could maybe get your file sent through SendCutSend and have yours made in aluminum

Yeah it’s a lot of money for what it is too not very pretty for how much money it is. I like fox operator cause it almost looks like factory this I half way in between and cost less than a few bucks to print lol aluminum would be cool or I’ve found a few places that you can upload file and have it printed in pa6cf which is pretty much what fox operators is

You think about uploading that?
Looks really good. Did you print it vertically or horizontall?

I printed it horizontally so layer lines are the length of tube and the bolt hold tight through them I broke it installing it so I’m working on a few clearance issues and will reprint it the buffer tube file I used from thingiverse is shit sizing so I’m gonna measure off a real one and reprint will

For V1 you kind of knocked it out of the park. Well done
