From the first time I saw the RTI Mora, I was captivated by its design. Visually, it was unmatched in my eyes—futuristic, industrial, yet sleek and lethal. However, the only thing keeping me from purchasing one was its price tag. At over $2,500, I just couldn’t justify the expense for what is ultimately a hobby.
So, I decided the next best thing was to modify a Zelos to achieve a similar aesthetic. I found a great deal on a new Zelos, and that marked the beginning of my journey to modify the shroud. I started by 3D printing some threaded end caps. When I removed the shroud, I noticed a large gap between the barrel’s end and the shroud’s front, where a moderator would typically be attached. That gave me the idea to install an internal moderator and make use of that empty space.
Long story short, I replaced all the end caps with aluminum ones. The only plastic part left is the spacer at the end, which I plan to replace with a properly sized aluminum version in the future.
