The metric file is for 6mm diamter and the SAE is for 1/4" diameter.If needed remove support material, and place the M4 nuts into their recepticles. They should easily press fit in. Follow up by fastening in the M4 bolts into the nuts to ensure they are properly seated. These bolts can remain in place until the stock is ready to be mounted to the device of your choosing.RODSSlide the rods through the holes in the main body before the lock is installed to ensure movement is smooth. If there is any resistance lightly sand the inside of the holes until there is a smooth motion of the rod along the entire stroke. There should be no need for lubrication. Follow the same procede for both holes.Test fit the rods into the holes in the tail. DO NOT FORCE - If you do you might not be able to remove them, and you may bend the rods trying to do so - and we dont want that....Sand or drill out the holes until there is only a slight resistance of the rods into the tail. If they seem really tight or loose, double check that you printed the right files. If you are using carbon fiber test fit the stainless steel rods into the carbon fiber rods. ONLY TEST ONE AT A TIME so you can use the other rod to push it out of it gets stuck.**If the rods are too tight, use a scotch bright pad, or light sandpaper across the length of the rod until it is able to easily fit inside the CF rodEpoxy the stainless rod inside the CF rod and let cure overnight. Epoxy the rods into the tail, Use the included jig to make sure the rods are parellel. Now would be an appropriate time to LIGHTLY tap the rods into the tail after epoxy is applied.LOCKIt is optional but highly recommended to tap the hole of button shaft with an M4 thread. This makes assembly of the locking mechanism significantly easier.You can test the locking mechanism in the body by placing the spring inside the button, placing the button into the hole and compressing the spring until the top of the shaft protrudes through the top of the body. There should be little to no resistance. If there is, remove the button and lightly sand the button shaft and the inside of the hole.At this time you may notice 2 things about the key:The key can only be placed into the body one wayThere is a interlocking feature to the button which stops rotation when being fastened together.Place the key onto the button while compressing the spring. You should feel the parts click together, now screw the parts togther until the two parts are solid. You should be able to compress the button and lift the key. To confirm this - while looking through the rod holes in the body you should be able to see the locking mechanism lifting away to reveal a full circle. When you let go, you will see about 1/3 of the hole blocked by the key. The key will also sit flush with the body. If this is not the case disassembly and find what is blocking the full motion of the mechanism.LOCKING SLOTSAfter the rods have fully cured, place two alignment jigs on the rods to help stabilize the assembly while you create the notches. There is a marking jig that rests inside the lock body. Use a pencil, or permanent marker (black or silver), to mark the rods through the slit openings of the jig. This allows you to move the body according to where you want the stocks locked open position to be.IMPORTANT:IF YOU ARE MOUNTING TO THE THUMP N GRIND THE BUTTON WILL BE FACING DOWNIF YOU ARE MOUNTING TO THE EVO SCORPION THE BUTTON WILL BE FACING UPThis is due to the way the rod spacing fits on the device, see visual guide for detailsFile notches into the rods. It is essential the the slots are formed in the same spot on each rod, which is why the marking jig was used in the previous step.There are two other stabilizing jigs provided, both have a flat surface on the bottom, which allows you to hold the stock to a table surface while you work. My preferred method is to use a narrow metal file and slowly file out the notch so it matches square pegs on the key. To confirm use the key to test that there is good contact with the two parts. **DO NOT FILE A SLANT INTO THE NOTCH, KEEP THE EDGES AS STRAIGHT AS POSSIBLE. If you add a slant, the hold will be significantly reduced.You can now test the locking mechanism. Remove all the jigs and reassemble the locking mechanism. Slide the rods through the stock until you hear a click as the key bites down into the slots. The stock should now be locked. To move you must press the button then slide the stock closed.BUTTSTOCK PADUsing the small machine screws, attach the TPU pad to the tail. You may need to open up the pilot holes slightly, but not too much because the screws need plastic to bite into. These screws should be self tapping, so do not over tighten.Congratulations! Your sliding stock is now complete! You can now attach it to your favorite printed (or non-printed) ballistic device.MOUNTING:I have provided modified encaps to add to your builds. These allow better positioning and more robust attachment points. - Thump n' Grind - you will need to print and install the provided endcap. - EVO Scorpion - Print the EVO adapter provided and attach to the device. You can use a sliding stock rod to depress the retention spring button.See provided visual guide to see suggested mounting positions on both devices. Use the provided M4 Bolts to secure the stock to the rear pic rails.
