I remixed a few awesome designs from others so I will credit them here: maxis stock and fore-ends https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2209954 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2222685 grip: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4762446 buffer threads: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3078671 carbon tube from amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07V4N1N42/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1&tag=thingiverse09-20 Carbon tube is 20mm ID, 22mm OD, 420 or so length. Cut to whatever you need. HARDWARE needed: AR-15 castle nut and AR grip screw. M2x10mm screws (2) for the trigger spacer. Vq is for volquartsen. The ruger is obviously for the ruger. They're shaped differently. m3x12 (1) countersunk, m3x16 (1) countersunk, m3x25 (2) buttonhead. 4 m3 locknuts IF you install an AFG: m5x22 and 2 m5 locknuts (or racing drone prop nuts). I took a printed one and edited it in 3d builder to remove the mlok parts so it's flat. I can't share that because it's from a friend. I included drill templates that have a 2mm pilot hole on 1 side and a 3mm hole on the other. Final holes need to be 3mm. I didn't like the fore grip that hangs down nor did I like the blocky version, so I simply angled it and trimmed it. It works for me. If you use a printed buttplate you need to cut some flat carbon. I used 0.85mm thick by 3.2mm tall carbon pieces. They just need to be snipped to about 62-64mm in length. Then glued in. Makes it nice and stiff. you can insert an m3x16 or so mm screw into the grip tang for strength. the 1/4x28 hole needs to be tapped for a grip screw. Print the pegs, CA them together, then use plastic 2 part epoxy to glue the 3 sections together. assemble the buttstock: screw in the 2 m3 countersunk screws from the chamfered side of the flat buttstock piece. long one on top, shorter one on bottom. then screw those onto the rear buttstock receiver. install and tighten 2 m3 locknuts. slide the (already cut and drilled) carbon tube on and line up the holes. screw in the m3x25 from the top and tighten an m3 locknut on the bottom. do the same for the front threaded receiver. take the buttstock assembly and thread the castle nut on, then thread the buttstock and tighten the castle nut making sure the stock doesn't move. I included 2 takedown screw "gaskets". A thin one and a thick one. You can use this to "free float" the barrel. The thin one leaves a tiny gap the thick one leaves a bigger gap. Print these in TPU!! The rest I printed in PETG for better heat resistance and strength. I printed the rear_shaped_modular in 100% infill with at least 4 walls. This piece takes all the stress from the grip and the buttstock. The rest you can do whatever you like. Lowest I would go is 30% with 3 walls. Nice and light and hopefully durable - I did this with a "clear" petg filament and it looks great, kind of translucent.
