TTAG Tactical Lever Rifle Project: Crimson Trace Solid Model

Robert Farago - comments No comments

Robert,

Here’s a screen shot of the computer solid model of the adapter part as well as a rendering of the final assembly for the Cowboy Assault Rifle Project Gun. I came in today and ran a 3D prototype on our SLA machine to verify fit on the barrel and mag tube. I need to make a few adjustments to the model to mate up with the contour of the stock foregrip as you can see in the close-ups of the proto. We should be machining the final by the end of the week. Hope you enjoy. [Prototype after the jump.]

  1. Just F.Y.I. if you put a vertical fore grip on an AR pistol it changes the ATF classification of the weapon from a pistol to a AOW (any other weapon), and requires a special ATF permit. otherwise if your caught with it you face up to ten years in prison. Also if you put a butstock on it then you need a SBR (short barreled rifle) stamp.

  2. Last week I finally got my K31. My comment was the first when this article came up, and it really lit a fire under me. Now I have an impeccable Swiss K31 in close to mint condition, a “p” series (Private) version for civilian market or as my serial number indicates, for the Swiss government. Individuals were allowed to take their rifles home for good upon retirement and the “P” stamped on them. At least thats what I have been able to pick up from researching it. Mine was originally made for the KTA. I guess someone took it home when they retired. Beautiful rifle.

  3. I’m currently considering a Rossi Ranch Hand. The 1st thing I thought of was how a Laser sight would help make it a more viable option in HD or in the woods boar hunting.

    it this project still under consideration? I would be happy to conduct a field test on a Prototype for the Rossi Ranch hand.

  5. That’s nice. Make one to replace end cap at end of tube magazine. I can deal with one less round then it would be snag free and everyone can keep their sling nut.

  6. That is a interesting concept adding a laser on the forearm grip like that. The only downside I see if the button used to operate the laser is a push to activate release to deactivate instead of push on push off. Me with a short LOP or having short arms would find that comfortable having my hand that far forward on the stock.

  7. Is this being manufacturered yet? I would love one since there is a lot of dangerous game where I live ( well to my animals, not so much to me) and my farm gun is my henry 44mag. This would make me a little more confident to pull the trigger in case my dogs ect get into it with a coyote ect. Don’t wanna hit them by accident.
