It is made just a for practice and experience.
It should be a completed piece. It was a hassle and I am sure some things could be made more elegantly, but I am happy with the result.
Everyone and their grandma does seem to have an AR, but I don't :( So I just might print me one :)
The carrier looks awesome like this, Igor! I was wondering if you would alter this carrier and add 0.0625" of length onto the front of the carrier for me. If you can literally extend the front out 1/16" further than it already is, it would help me immensely! I know it sounds crazy, but it would make my day. Solidworks prints, .slddrw and .sldprt files would be ideal. Thank you so much!

Ok, got the hang of the naming. I will rework this thing to proper M16 carrier, not a flimsy unshrouded sports version.

12 months agoThis page seemed familiar, so yes I think I have seen it already. That is one very informational page with so much to see and try out.
I need much more free time for CAD work/hobby :)

10 months agoIt is a really good piece, i had been looking for a solid work model of the carrier for a while now, finally found it, ty
9 months agoI uploaded a new version - I made the gas key screw holes from plain holes to threaded ones (with hole wizard), so it should be more real now.
Thank you for the kind words. It is sometimes difficult to draw something I cannot put the calipers on to compare and verify.
So, if someone would be kind enough and compare it to real M16 bolt carrier, I could have some feedback on the accuracy of my electronic one.
9 months agocould you post an .iges version of this?
9 months agoit looks awesome.. but i do not currently have SolidWorks
There you go
9 months agoReimo! thank you so much! just what i needed!
9 months agoPlease excuse my ignorance but when I open the files it says that it cannot locate the parts for the assembly?
8 months agoMatteo, are you sure this is the right model you're refering to? I only have the carrier, Harold Martin made all the other pieces.
8 months agoIgor - very nice looking rendering. What did you use, Keyshot? That brushed look looks quite real.
8 months agoThanks! It's done in bunkspeed. The brushed is just a matter of getting the UV map on the right position!
8 months agoThis drawing looks really good! Is it to milspec? Can you also post the .slddrw file as well, please? I would like to make a few of these and that would really help me out! Here is a link to a site that has the mil specs for AR15 bolt carriers.
