    This looks fantastic. I really need a Bambu. The yellow macdaddy script is superb, medieval almost

    What mag and slide release are you using? Mine are just oem ones, Mine has always held open after the last round, I'm the creator of all aa13 frames. Could be something with one of those 2 parts, not sure what brand your running but id start there. The internals are measured directly from an OEM 43x, minus the different rail system variances. I modeled the DD style of the frame using the split rail from riptide rails. Me personally, I don't run a DD style frame though, only pf9ss, ss80 and py2a.

    I just bought a 43 kit for this with ss80 rails. This will be a 1st I usually go FMDA or PY2A

    I've only tried SS80 and Aves DD43.1 rails

    Haha, while not my intention, I like to share what I find works. Also I get sick of the brand snobbery.

    if there was a category, id vote you reddit 2a sales person of the year... :-)ive probably dropped over 5k(probably way more.. but the thought of the actual amount makes me ashamed.. ) on builds based on your posts.

    ill look into that optic brand as well.. i just picked up a cylee rmsc optic for my last(2nd) 43x build.. think it was $120

    need to pick up an inexpensive for one of my 22lr ar builds.. ill probably pick up a zulisy optic..

    where does one procure the locking block/rail part ?

  • u/Brrrrrrttttt · 2025-04-21 16:39:13 UTC · score 2

    Hmm interesting, Have you tried PY2A’s?

  • u/LabronPaul · 2025-04-21 16:37:56 UTC · score 1

    Locking block not sitting right, I think it is too low. Also every model I've tried does not have the last round slide lock working, either not locking or holding a for a second and letting go by itself.

  • u/mashedleo · 2025-04-21 15:29:15 UTC · score 1

    Every one I've tried the slide binds. Well it's only been 3 frames,

  • u/mashedleo · 2025-04-21 12:00:35 UTC · score 1

    Yeah I was stoked. I need more mags though. All those rounds were out of one mag lol. I was a little nervous at first, but as I got comfortable I did a few mag dumps. No signs of any cracking or anything like that. I've been so engrossed in studying printing I'm neglecting my normal stuff lol. My place is a disaster. I have the day off and am staying away from the PC so I can get my place cleaned up. It's hard though as I stare at my new velocity vmac 9 upper lmao 🤣

  • u/Kommissar · 2025-04-23 15:16:44 UTC · score 1

    Psa sells the rear rails, and the front rails are connected to the locking block similar to p80

    Oh and I bought another budget dot for this. Zulisy something, rmsc. Came to $100 shipped for a good size window green 3 moa dot. Barely had to tweak it to zero and it held for this range trip. I'm honestly blown away with the budget dots they are coming out with lately. Idk much about the company and their customer service, but so far so good.

    I don't have any split rails . They rock with the slide on ?

    I loved his OEM G43X just hated the missing dust cover above the trigger housing I scraped it for that reason alone. Does this one have the cover or no?

    only the micrco locking block is available from PSA.. unless you mean transferring a factory build to this frame.

    What specifically has been a pain? Maybe slightly out of spec?

    10/22 Barrel Dimensions

    Hey all. I'm currently modeling a low-hardware 10/22-based rifle that uses a fully printed barrel locking mechanism to replace the traditional 10/22 locking block. I don't have a 10/22 barrel on hand at the moment - does anybody know the measurements for the depth of the 45-degree cutout in the barrel, or how long that locking block channel is?

    I have noticed a couple of builds that will require a clivis pin with a grove for a c clip. And although I found one at Grainger I figured I would share this with you guys because this might actually help you out.

    One orientation to Rule them all?

    I’ve got a BL A1 and have printed a decent amount of normal stuff including pew accessories but I’ve yet to print an upper or lower receiver. I’ve had my eye on a Ruger MK build but I don’t want it to go bust. If I’m wrong PLEASE LMK but:

    1. for the upper print vertically with threads at apex
    2. lower/frame rails up for ease of support removal & holding tolerances

    I have discovered by trial & error that sometimes the easy orientation isn’t the best but now I’m dealing with a new set of stresses and would like confirmation from people have done this & that still have all 10 fingers

    Glock FRT question

    So I followed some advice from a post on this sub saying to shave the trigger connector on this small piece that protrudes. And now 1 out of 10 times when I rack my slide quickly it wont reset the trigger. Is this normal? Most of the time it works normal. Im not sure if its even setting the firing pin either but I just don’t want to rack it and it shoots my fingers off 😭 hopefully someone has experience with this

    Printing a drum right now and I remembered some posts about a year or two ago where someone loaded some Glock mags and left them until they split. I think they did drop tests and kinda went nuts.

    Materials questions for small custom part Ruger RXM

    I'm designing a custom takedown pin for my RXM that has a thumb rest shelf attached (pic included). I'm newish to printing in general, not just gun parts, so I'm just asking for some insight on an adequate material and general print settings/guidelines to follow. All I have is basic PLA and PETG hf from Bambu and the A1 mini, I didn't buy these with gun printing in mind.
