JSB 10.04 with Bandit Carbine

[Spacebus]

DJ, did you know the Chaser trigger guard assembly pops right out? I had no idea until I was messing with my extra one a few minutes ago.

I did, but that's what makes the safety work and the sear pins stay in place. I bet someone could 3D print a roomier guard, but I'm not that person.

I was thinking it would make a new 3d printed one a lot easier.

i got a .stp file for the bandit last week but it has no trigger guard just a whole different lower

 it should be doable to design a guard on fusion or freecad if somebody has the skills and is interested just say

Post a pic of the Bandit file, I'm curious. I'm not sold on spending $150-ish for the BR kit to possibly have the same issue, but I could do like James said and just get flip top mittens. However, I do like the BR kit and I basically talk myself out of buying it every day since I just spent about the same amount of money to do the bottle build and snag a 177 Stormrider barrel.

This is my opinion and I'm a pretty big guy so that's also a factor. I like my Buck-Railed Bandit but the Chaser grip and  buttstock with the ATI cheek riser fits me so much better. I'd probably consider trading my Buck-Rail setup for another Chaser grip and buttstock.

As much as I'd like to take you up on the offer, I'd like to keep my original furniture even if I do get the BR stuff.

 Been looking at them tiny trigger guards, only thing I can think of is cut them off, then make a new one to mount with the front screw, out of some bar stock AL or brass

I feel like the trigger guard could be as long as needed if there's a hole in the bottom to get the screw through to the final mounting hole. Like how some guns have a hole in the bottom of the guard to adjust the trigger. I actually really like the factory furniture, except for the bit of flex where the buttstock connects. For now I just ordered some nice hand made wool mittens with flip covers to get around the cramped trigger guard. I'm also tempted to buy the BR kit and resell if I don't like it.

If you like the Chaser stock as much as I do, I would try to mod the trigger guard. The biggest issue with the Buck-Rail stock is having to mount your scope or red dot higher. I'm a bit fanatical about having my scope as close to the bore as I can get it. I have a box full of different size mounts and scope rings that I've bought and replaced because I wanted something just a little lower.

Agreed, I love the "Feyachi" micro red dot on my Bandito. I'm using the open style BR red dot on my Stormrider since it has a taller comb. I do have an SKS style cheek riser for my Bandit, but the micro red dot works without it, which is nice since I can't find it. A slightly lower red dot would be great, but not really possible without spending some serious coin.

Eventually I want to upgrade to something like this: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804806744253.html?

I like that. Does it record video?

Supposedly yes. I really like the form factor and I could use it with my Eagle Claw for coyote night hunting. Might be able to use it for snowshoe hares, but I think it's illegal to use NV or flashlights for anything buy coyote.

I'd just love to have something to record shots without having a camera hanging off my scope. I just can't justify $500 or more to do it though.

Edit: Now I see, it's just a digital file of the action. I know almost nothing about 3d printing and CAD.

me neither, i like playing on tinkercad, it kinda works but just noticed there's ~1mm or so of difference to mine on the trigger guard screw hole on the tube so i'll need to mix things

this model was done by superposing the action/grip and a square box, subtracting the former from the later, then placing another box and subtracting again for the trigger blade space, what takes time is taking measurements aligning everything etc etc

pic of the abomination i'm working on:

[Spacebus]

There's definitely room around the trigger! I wish I could find the thread, but someone on GTA converted a chaser/bandit into a wood stocked bullpup. I'll keep searching, but that would basically be perfection. I suppose a Stoeger Bullshark would basically be the same thing, but no bottle on that.

[EdinGa]

The Stoeger Xm1 rifle might be, but the Bullshark has a much larger diameter pressure tube.

Oh, it's a P15, for some reason I thought they made a bullpup PR900.

This guy offers some cool stuff: https://splund.wixsite.com/mysite/cp2

But UK only. The Bullpup is more of a semi-pup, but still a huge reduction in length.
