“Milspec” Bug A Salt 3.0 Stock Adapter

Description

<h1>“Milspec” Bug A Salt 3.0 Stock Adapter</h1> In the pursuit of owning the ultimate tactical bug exterminator, I was in search of a robust, tight-fitting stock adapter for the Bug A Salt 3.0 that didn't require tapping screws into the body or damaging anything. Having not found one that quite met my needs, I decided to make my own. **…Enter the “Milspec” Bug A Salt Stock Adapter!** This project was designed to closely fit the buffer tube/stocks that are part of the great model by Midyew 59: "Bug-A-Stock. A Stock for your Bug-a-salt gun." • Having tried this model, I loved everything about the design except for the clamping mechanism. I found the need for a tighter grip on the sides as well as a thicker shell. • The buffer tube and snap pin are identical to the ones used in Midyew's design. *Hardware needed:* • M3 screws/nuts ○ 4x 25mm M3 screws ○ 4x M3 nuts ○ See photos of my measurements *Printing:* • Print the main body with the back square cutout facing up. ○ This is a bit of a difficult print to orient, so supports are REQUIRED. ○ I originally printed this with the orientation matching how it would be placed on the Bug A Salt (top side is facing the top of the printer) and my buffer tube adapter cracked due to the torsion/pressure along there. Therefore, layers need to be perpendicular to the stress of the buffer tube. • I've provided sample .gcode files as well as the models. ○ These show orientation of how I printed these parts. ○ I printed in PETG, so your milage may vary on how robust PLA or other materials are. ○ I printed in .3 layer line height to help with general part strength *Assembly:* • Place the M3 nuts in the 4 slots on the Bottom Mount. • Hook the Bottom Mount through the hole where the trigger is - it should be able to fit with a 90 degree turn pretty easily. • Place the Body Mount and Top Mount on, and screw down both sides evenly. Screw until reasonably tight, but don't overtighten - this model was made to have a good amount of pressure from all sides, so you might have to squeeze the bottom and top mounts while screwing in the M3 screws. ---------- *General safety Disclaimer* Any parts of this project are for the Bug-A-Salt 3.0, while not a toy, is not a firearm. This is intended to add functionality to a product that fires table salt to kill insects. Please print this responsibly and understand the implications of modifying this tool which may more closely appear as a functional firearm. I'll only be using this indoors, so if using “in public” you might want to print this in more obvious colors, etc. ----------
