The Practical Defense Weapon PDW V4.1

The Practical Defense Weapon V4.1, your one stop shop for a carbine conversion kit. Fits almost any pistol and requires 0 additional hardware. Right now simple superglue is recommended if you wish to set your own length of pull, adjustable length of pull will be available in following versions. The Practical Defense Weapon aims to solve three prominent issues with existing conversion kits. First: No additional hardware. I don't want to go to the store and buy a long list of nuts bolts and other hardware, and neither does anyone else. Second: Compatibility. Very few conversion kits are made for anything but Glocks. This system provides the needed clearances for most pistols. Third: Complexity. Most kits may look daunting with incredible mazes of pin holes and tens of files. Here you only have 4 core files to build the base without a stock. Features: Pic Rail above the slide for mounting sights Two side Pic rails for mounting whatever you wish when the stock module is not attached Bottom Pic Rail for mounting lasers, lights, and grips(Obey any and all laws!) Robust geometry to increase structural integrity, strength and load bearing Open design gives you access and manipulation of your weapon without risk of ejection failures. Rear Pic Rail for mounting any stock option you want (Note: Side folding stocks currently will not fold.) Linked Below is a Pic Rail to M4 buffer tube adapter if you wish to mount AR/M4 stocks. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3783795 INSTRUCTIONS Print the Sight Block, two(2) Support Arms, and Rear Cap. Print the number of pins equal to however many slots are on the bottom of your pistol + 8 for the mounting of the support arms. (IE FN 509 has 4 slots on its rail so 4+8=12 pins total) Line up the holes in the mounting brackets and the rail its being mounted to, then carefully tap the pins into the slots. Then attach whatever stock you want. CURRENTLY WORKING ON: Version 6, Stay tuned. NOTE: I am currently printing this design so consider it untested for the time being DISCLAIMER: I'm just a hobbyist. I've spent a lot of time and effort in this and I will continue to do so. I welcome and seek suggestions on how to improve the design or any features you want added/removed.
