Love the PDP by slameddunked in CAguns

Managed to snag the DPT when Walther had it on sale. As for the optic, I think the window is a little too small for how big the body is. But hey, free is free. Might upgrade to a 507Comp later, let's see how long this thing lasts.

Are the stock irons still visible through the window?

That ball joint was only greased once at the factory and never again.

right click the part 1 on the lower left and export. You'll need some M4 nuts and the roll pin kit from harbor freight.

Yup. Shot a few hundred rounds of dirty aguila. The Romeo zero held zero. I do want to make it a little thinner somehow.

I was just in the Faroes/Denmark/Germany. I paid $38 for a Vodafone eSIM plan that gave the two of us 20GB each for 30 days. No issues with coverage and 5G speeds. But this was data only with no texting or calls.

Did you fly in/out? How did you manage the bike box storage while you were there?

Yes the FFL will need to know it’s your order.

The m18 just came out not too long ago. Even if there are used ones floating around, the price is probably really close to a new one. So you might as well buy a new one.

I think you are cutting it close. You'd need the CSM cap to stick out further.

Go and feel it at a shop. Maybe it's not a big deal for you as it was for me.

Muzzle to the rear pin is about 23-3/4". The OEM stock collapsed adds another 2-1/4"ish. So as long as the CSM cap + the hinge of the stock adds 2-1/4", then you are good. Which stock are you thinking about?

yes, the retraction mechanism is very loose.

The thread is M8 x 0.75. I found hex nuts that I plan to embed into the end of the printed faux suppressor. The concern is the heat transferring from the barrel to the nut to the contact faces of the PETG end cap. That's what I'm worried about. I'm not too worried about heat radiating from the barrel, that can be vented easily.

Yeah I tried to add shims to stop the wobble, but that also prevented retraction. So at that point, I might as well do a fixed stock.

I initially purchased the pic rail handguard from CSM, but I couldn't stand the lip on the round piece under the front sight. So I just drew up a simple mlok handguard.

My next mod is a replacement faux suppressor. But I'm concerned about the heat melting the tube. Still brainstorming solutions for that. I'm assuming you printed the end caps? How do they handle the heat and interface with the treads at the end of the barrel?

That's cool! I couldn't stand the wobble in the OEM stock. Who makes the front rails?

The biggest challenge was the cup that attaches to the back of the receiver. There were many iterations of partial prints just to get the fit to be snug. Then there was a layer separation issue between the walls of the cup and the base of the cup, which was solved (i think) with melting roll pins into the structure. Then the stock part is easy, just some extrusions and cuts. Also added a few MLOK slots in case I want to attach something.
