As of right now, I am tidying up files and making a how-to document. Will be released soon. I may need to print another one of these to make sure a recent revision works but i am certain that it will. I will include the mini Boomtube in the files. Thanks to Alphacuremom69 for the original Boomtube design. Ask me anything, i am open to questions.

Edit: I will be selling hardware/ rails kits for these. I am contemplating polishing these parts for everyone instead of only deburring, would this be something people are interested in? The rails work much smoother with a nice polish and bevel on them.

    This is a sick idea. I’d love a Raider variant but I don’t need another 9mm, and they don’t make one for a G43x. A 22 plinker tho? Can’t have too many.

      For future reference, if the people like them, I plan on designing these for all sorts of different pistols.

    Love the build! Is there enough space behind the slide to accommodate weighted backplates for suppressed FRT use?

        Awesome, glad it was a relatively simple mod! This chassis seems like the perfect suppressed FRT platform. Gonna be keeping an eye out for a full-size now.

      I just looked and there is not enough room for a weight as it will collide with the brace if it is collapsed. I will design a new brace that is notched at the top to allow weights to not interfere.

      Honestly I haven’t even thought of that. I can take a look. I dont think there is though. But I can always adjust the design of the brace or chassis to accommodate that.

    I’d rather do the work to polish myself but however you make em, I’m interested.

    Good call on making room for weights. Slowing these down a lil helps even without the can.

      same. I’ll take it either way but if I had a choice I’d do it myself.

    I think you should offer both deburred and polished. That way you can allow people to give you a little more scratch for your efforts if they want to. I don’t mind polishing myself, but I really appreciate the time that you put into this. Many of us can’t design and it would be worth it to me to pay more for primo parts as thanks. ON THE FLIP SIDE, that means keeping two piles of parts instead of one and sometimes that’s just not worth the headache, if that’s your boat, then only offer the polished. My .02c. Very excited to see release and I am 100% down for a kit. My only regret is not grabbing a gen 2 toro while they were 400 bucks.

      Thanks for the input. I was thinking this as well. I can definitely make a second pile of parts haha.

      I used 14.5 pressure angle 48 gear pitch for the profile. Less tooth protrusion and more teeth mean better meshing and stronger rails (less material removed).

    is a 100% OEM factory fa needed to complete this build ?

    or can this be built using OEM part “kits” or OEM + SCS parts ?

      I recommend a donor fa. any full size model will do. The “kit” that I am referencing is the hardware and sheet metal Rails and linkages that I will be selling. as far as I am concerned SCS wont cut these to the specs needed.
