Decided to start another one. This will be to shoot off a bipod. Intent is to swap it out with the 223 and a higher power scope for targets and pesting

Thanks SixtyTen

The stock weighs 440g
The mag is chopped down. Lots of online guides to do so and takes less than 10min. How it is holds 3, you can mod it more to hold 4 but I don’t need 4.

Hey SixtyTen

Thanks for the interest.

Although I agree that you could do this with inletting a foam/resin core, the joy of a 3D print is that it is accurate, stable and very light weight.

Weight includes suppressor but hasn’t been glassed yet. That’s the next step

For quite a while I’ve wanted to make a lightweight 223.
With budgets never extending to a beautiful stock from one of the carbon stock guru’s like the late Ken.

I’ve had a lot to do with...
