Steel reinforced AK gas tube cover built around two 3.5" inside corner braces from a certain local hardware store. Enjoy! ~ <3 ~

hardware
This stock is built around a specific set of inside corner braces. I don't know if it will fit others. You only have to use a single brace for this build, but you may optionally use two - one on either side of the gas tube - for additional support. ICB is measured 3.5 in. H X 2.238 in. W X 3.5 in. L.
The rest of the hardware, you likely already have.
- 8x M5x10 screws
- 8x M5 heatserts (optional)
filament
This gas tube cover was printed and tested with PA6-GF25. Use your own best judgement given your budget, equipment, and needs.
printing
- Material: PA6-GF25
- Nozzle temp: 270-290
- Bed temp: 100
- Supports: none
- Walls: 8
- Sparse infill: 60%-80%
- Infill pattern: gyroid
- Brim: 6-8mm
3MF files are oriented correctly for clean and tough support-free prints.
assembly
- If you opted for heatserts, install them in the 8 holes - 4 on each printed piece.
- Connect the two gas tube cover ends with one or two ICBs using the M5 screws. Minor bending/fitting may be required.
- Twist the gas tube cover onto the gas tube. Alternatively it may be assembled in place on the gas tube.
- If the assembly is too lose, you can use slightly longer M5 screws and tighten until they each make contact with the gas tube. Do not overtighten.

I'll be honest -- I don't know enough about Kalashnikovs to tell you how tagging should be split up. So you guys get this tag.
