The 4th and final version of the Altars M24. 25 cal 3d printed technical stock is now finished. For now its printed metallic pla pro.

The M24 is dedicated for 200 yard bench rest.

The 3d printed co-axial front rest is working perfectly.

I well report back after I shoot next Wednesday.

I'm curious about it.. I thought I saw the alteros was magazine fed from the top and the air tube around the barrel..is this correct? so if that's the case,is what looks like a magazine where a powder gun is.. is that a pelenium like the FX DRS?
good work you are doing..
would you be interested or able to print a hand grip for a reximex RPA shaped like a AR grip?
thank you

HI Mark, you are correct on all points. I added the dummy magazine so that I can add some lead weights to make the stock heavier. With some additional weights in different places, I'm hoping for around 24 total pounds which improves my benchrest shooting..

I'm only advance hobbyist 3d printer and open to 3d print parts for other AGN members. Send me a PM with all the details of your AR grip.

Cool! You can sell your file to Jovan. Text or call him. He can print your designs perfeclty, sell them on his site, and give you a percentage. He is so good at his printers you can't even tell its 3D printed. It looks like injection molding. ...just an idea. Jovan is at https://www.bravo3d.com/

....it does look like you had to do some "fine adjustments". I used to make 3D parts and some required sanding or fitting to get them just right. It would be hard to get a design perfect (to sell). Great job on that M24 though!

Review on the way...within 2-3 weeks it should be posted. The M24 is a special gun for sure. Like no other airgun. ...none.

Yes, the Altaros M24 is a great gun. I have shot over 2000 rounds so far. I'm know at my club range, Diablo Rod and Gun club in Concord CA, for splitting playing cards at 200 yards. Many of my fellow club members were in attendance the approximately 30 times I have split those playing cards.

I'm a RSO and shoot almost every Wednesday. I invite any AGN member to shoot with me if you are in town.

These look sick. What rig are you using for the printing? I've often thought about jumping into 3D printing especially for the reasons you're currently displaying.

Hi Tusk, I learned something very important when I got into airguns. "Buy once, Cry once"

So I bought the Bambu Labs X1 Carbon. This is my recommendation for anybody new into 3d printing. Before the Bambu printer, I spent tons on money and lots of frustration learning about 3d printing with many cheap printers and poor software. Upgrading from cheap, to moderate, to expensive cost me money in the long run.

Yes, the Bambu cost a bit more than most consumer printers, but it is so easy to learn and makes great prints the first time around. You will save time and money with the X1C.

I hope this helps!

This definitely helps. I am from the same school of thought so it makes perfect sense. Have you tried to run any carbon fiber filaments through that printer? If so how were the results?

The Bambu can print just about all the different engineering filaments. Carbon is nice, but expensive for prototyping. I might consider carbon for the final print.

I finally got to the range to work out all the bugs with this new tech stock. I discovered a couple of problems which includes the butt stock being too long for my style of benchrest shooting.

These are simple fixes to made in Fusion 360. I plan to 3d print another tech stock this week. Stay tuned.
