10/22 Thompson Conversion

thingiverse

This is a rework from mastermonoprice's 10/22 Thompson Take Down version, tailored specifically for the classic 10/22 model. I'm grateful that mastermonoprice shared the original files, allowing me to easily edit them and create this reworked design. All credit goes to him! ________________________________________________________________________ Update 1: I've added an angled foregrip, modified from the one mastermonoprice uploaded, along with some new renders. ________________________________________________________________________ Original Model: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3094243 So, what's changed in my rework? - The receiver is cut back from the front to just behind the mag well, saving print space and time while bringing it closer to the real conversion kit. - Holes were created in the receiver part, enabling you to screw the 10/22 receiver to the Thompson receiver through the buffer pin and the front trigger housing pin. - A new custom Vblock was added to attach the hand guard directly to the 10/22 receiver. - The front sight is threaded to 1/2-28 to fit your 10/22 threaded barrel. Please exercise caution when using this feature, as printed muzzle brakes can shatter. - The grip and rear sights have been threaded for M3 screws. I may re-thread the grip to accommodate M4 or M5 screws later. - The hand guard has been edited to incorporate the custom Vblock. ________________________________________________________________________ Please note that none of these features have been tested yet. I've printed mastermonoprice's original design and everything fits well, but I did encounter some issues with attaching the hand guard due to its take-down version origins. By reworking the design, I aimed to emulate the actual conversion kit, making it a more accurate representation. If you end up printing this, please share your experience and any suggestions for improvements. Mastermonoprice is an excellent contributor who has incorporated some of my suggestions into his designs, so thank him too!
