Thanks for all your kind words, it is actually a nice little plinker. i will work on tuning it for better shot count when I get a chance. I got the basic stock off one of the "free to use" 3D cad sites, I forget which one now, but probably Thingiverse since they seem to have a lot more freeware 22xx parts than the other sites. I then modified the cad files to allow for the utilization of tubes for the main rear stock rather than 3D printing long tubular sections. Printing tubes vertically gives nice round x-section but potential weak lines between layers - printing flat gives a poor surface finish, at least in my novice printing experience and capabilities, so I opted to use PEX tubing, the straight stuff bought at hardware store, not the coiled stuff, since you want it to be straight. I posted the first version as my Crosman Stormtrooper - a concept that didn't receive many accolades, and ultimately gave way to the current stock design. Anyhow, some more printed adapters added to the now printed stormtrooper stock allowed me to fit the 2 stainless steel tubes, which matches well with the Ti-alloy PCP tube and SS fittings of the front of the gun. I'll add a Ti or SS bolt handle at some point as well. The SS tubes were salvaged from a set of solar garden lights, which lit up the path to my front door for the better part of 7 yrs, but eventually succumbed to time and weather and my snowblower. I threw out the plastic bits but saved the SS tubes, figuring they would come in handy some day for something, and voila! Here they are in my 2240 PCP shoulder stock!
So, long story short, or TLDR..., yes I printed that on my 3D printer using PETG.
I was handling this morning, and I think next I'll print a 1 piece fore grip for it - maybe modify something off a 1322 pump handle. Down another rabbit hole I goooooooo,,,,,,,
