Picatinny Rail Ladder Cover

thingiverse

This is a picatinny rail cover to provide a smoother surface that improves control, adds protection to the rail, and also protects other objects that might be scratched or torn by the rail (like your hands, gloves, and rifle case). I'm not certain how well this will stand up if printed in PLA and attached to a real rifle barrel, the heat may distort or destroy it. ABS would probably be a better choice for that reason. Please let me know in the comments if someone gives it a try (I'll be giving the one I printed in PLA a try at the range sometime soon). It would be interesting to hear how flexible filaments perform as well.
