After the MMS, i had to do the normal 21 of course :
As a reminder, a bit of reading:
https://benen3d.myshopify.com/blogs/sar-21-aeg/sar-21-aeg
The SAR 21 is the basic platform and the "issued weapon" since 1999, gradually replaced by the SAR21 MMS.
The SAR21 M is a SAR 21 with a Stanag charger well for export.
The SAR21 SharpShooter is a SAR21 with 3x zoom optics instead of the standard 1.5x.
The SAR21 Prail is a SAR21 with the top rail of the MMS.
What mainly changes between an MMS and a 21 (and most versions), is the Upper, Barrel, and Handguard part.
After going through the Modeling and Redesign box, here is what was added:
- Drums at the front (no need to dismantle the back anymore)
- Functional arming lever
- Glasses with adjustable zoom
And off she goes to prototype production
+/- 150 hours later (and yes, it doesn’t happen in the snap of a finger)
For those who doubt seeing his photos, it is indeed a 3D printed replica...
A lot of sanding work, etc., it has to be said.
The assembly is almost identical to the previous SAR21 MMS, and its real counterpart.
The difference lies in the battery location, which is in the handguard on this one.
I am moving on to the design of realistic mag shells.
I use M4 Battleaxe mag inserts.
And translucent filament printing:
