Taipan Veteran 3D Printed Stock Project

This is my favorite gun to shoot. I have wanted a different stock for years. My buddy and I were out camping and hunting greys in Sept. We both use the same gun. (Veteran standard in .25) We rave about the platform, but both of us agreed that it would be better with a 'different' stock. Decided I would take the band saw and belt grinder to the stock when I got home.... But couldn't bring myself to tear into it without a back up. After some impulsive purchases and a steep learning curve, the little magic elves in the computer controlled hot glue gun machine made this for me. Definately need some finishing touches and tweaking but it is comfortable, surprisingly solid and serviceable right now. I need a bit more foregrip to attach to the picatinny in front of pistol grip. Maybe just 2-3". Either printed out of rubber or Rubber scales that are mounted like the grip... I want to print a little rubber cheek piece and maybe a fill probe holder. I think I can find a mag holder already designed online, but want one for sure... what else would you guys do or change?

I'm VERY impressed ... Looks very well proportioned as well.
Thanks Scott! It was your mutant that got me interested and I think shooting Tac's that made me 'need' this gun in the first place. I am finally starting to like how it feels, so close to the original in some aspects. I really wanted to design a lower grip attachment that would accept common grips, like the Buck Rail system for bandit (that i own and is awesome).... but couldnt figure it out with the how stock attached.
 
Sacramento,
Vetmx convinced me to get the Taipan after I reported holding back for lack of a synthetic stock. Glad I listened, the .22 Standard has the sweetest trigger and best accuracy of any I own, so impressive, in fact, I bought a .25. Agree with Vetmx, anyone perfecting a stout one-piece design could expect high interest, especially, IMO, if reasonably priced. WM

I had a guy on here that was going to make me a full Carbon Fiber stock for loaning him my wood stock off my B/P Cricket, The guy name was Zebra lived in N.Y and he kept my stock for about a year, ( I have some P.D contacts in N.Y) Sent my stock back to me .
No Carbon Fiber stock,,
The printed stock looks very good,, Not sure about the materials and the time , But you could make a little pocket change,
Mike
