Nimrod kit

firstly sorry about the poor photography my cameras currently out of action. this is an SMG style kit for the AAP-01. The intention is to make the Nimrod a fully customisable platform where you can select any of the available styles i.e. you may want to choose a buffer tube over a solid stock or perhaps an integrated foregrip instead of quad rails. For now this is the Nimrod mk1. Its very ridged and fits cleanly to the gun. I designed it primarily for CQB and thus it takes heavy influence from various H&K sub machine guns. the Front has mounting holes to attach an extended shroud which will be released as a part of an accessories kit in the future (free of charge) turning it into a carbine kit. the assembly is straightforward since its a simple 3 piece construction. the butt plate must first be attached to the stock using 2x M3 bolts (I used 20mm bolts on mine). If you suffer with pore bead adhesion or warping I would recommend using any epoxy putty to fill any gaps you might find between the pieces before painting. the stock attaches to the pistol via the removable pin hole on the rear of the grip and the front screw hole on the rear sight (you will need to remove the screw to install this kit) when you fit the stock please be careful not to force it onto the gun since if you are using PLA this could damage the stock. instead first pull back the slide and lock it in position. you can then slide the stock on and rotate it into position. once in place, use an 15mm M3 bolt to secure it into the front screw hole and two more bolts into the holes where the removable pin usually sits and your stock should now be fully attached. to install the front of the kit you must first remove the front sight. once removed it is as simple as sliding it into place along the barrel. once in place screw a 20mm M3 bolt through the hole in the top. there are also 2 more forward facing holes where I would advise you screw two M3x25mm bolts for maximum rigidity. Depending on how your printer is configured you may find that some of the threads are incorrectly sized after printing. if that is the case I would recommend drilling them to a 3mm diameter and using M3x4x4mm threaded inserts. there is a widened gap under the hole that connects the stock and front together for this precise use! failing that you can just drill and run your bolts through to cut the thread. although you can use a tap to thread this is not usually needed.
