Type 81SA lower handguard

thingiverse

Lower handguard replacement for the Norinco Type 81SA designed to provide a slim profile while maintaining key features of the original wood handguard. The shape is streamlined and closely resembles the authentic version. To ensure optimal performance, this part should be printed using heat-resistant materials like ABS or similar alternatives. This will guarantee its integrity during use. The included barrel rest tab and cleaning-rod holder are functional components. However, it's essential to note that the barrel rest tab serves as a reference point only. To maximize durability, consider replacing it with even more heat-resistant materials such as plywood or aluminum. Some minor filling may be necessary to achieve a smooth finish. Initially created to test its fit and functionality in the hand, this design will ultimately be replaced with a hardwood version on my rifle.
