SCR-ish update

It's funny how fast time gets away from you.  It's been almost two years since I stared my 3D printed SCR style bolt action AR project.  It seemed like I was always waiting for something and time kept creeping by.  In that time I've had a lot of people asking me for the files but I didn't have them ready yet.  None of the people that I gave the files to for beta testing followed through.  I also wasn't super happy with how the safety detent worked, so I wanted to do some more work on it.  I had enough parts to put together a 2nd one of my own, but didn't have the motivation. 

I've also been shopping around for another 22lr to plink with lately.  Then I saw Bear Creek's Black Friday ad advertising their new dedicated 22lr upper.  The lightbulb went off and I bought one.  My SCR style rifle was designed to be a bolt action because there was no room for an AR recoil system, and I wasn't super keen on replicating the real SCR's setup on a 3D printed receiver.  But, 22lr ARs don't need the stock recoil system, it's self contained in the upper.  So, I printed out the receiver and buttstock parts, and pinned on my brand new Bear Creek 22lr upper.  I've gotta say, this thing is great and a lot of fun to shoot.  The bolt/barrel setup is proprietary to Bear Creek, but the mags are CMMG and RTB compatible so mags are easy to get.  The optic is a $30 Amazon red/green dot because I love cheap optics on cheap guns.  I don't have a whole lot of rounds through it yet, and so far it's functioned flawlessly.  I hope to actually get the files posted on Weapons Guild by New Years.

PSG-Done

It happened again, I fell off the face of the internet.  Life, work, and whatnot.  Anyway, back to our regularly scheduled program.

I actually finished the my PSG-1 clone, the PSG-None(because there are no actual PSG-1 parts on it), back in April.  I took the pictures, and then left them to stare at me from my desktop for the next 8 months.  To recap, this is an Apex CETME C kit and barrel on an RTG G3 receiver flat bent on the 3D printed jig I designed, PSG-1 style reinforcement rails made by me, with 3D printed PSG-1 style furniture designed and 3D printed by me.  This is a low dollar build and I've had good results with cheap optics before, so the scope is a $35 CV Life from Amazon with a 3D Printed TPU eye bellows.  I also converted a G3 UB training bolt to use with the DAG blue plastic training ammo(see details a few posts ago).  Without wasting any more words here's how it turned out(clamp on bi-pod just for pictures):

Years ago, I 3D printed a costume prop PSG-1 for a friend.  It wasn't overly accurate, but at the time I didn't really know any better.  Just for kicks here's a picture of the original print I did along with my actual rifle.
