This is the prototype FamAR15. The FamAR is a FAMAS based bullpup AR15 that shares ergonomic advantages and the iconic look of the French answer to the Cold War. The FamAR uses modern AR15 components to open the platform up to the modular nature of the modern sporting rifle.
Parts will have to be scaled perfectly, solder iron welded together, otherwise adjusted, or drilled and tapped. This is a project for experienced builders of 3d printed firearms. The parts are subject to changes and improvements based on user feedback. User feedback also includes requests for other variants. A full assembly guide with pictures and a full bill of materials should be done before you are able to print all of these parts. There is no bipod or front sling mount and I encourage you to get creative and drill holes wherever you'd like to add one.
Additional parts planned for future release:
-Decorative right side cover for slick ar15 uppers and base model
-Right side cheekrest and left ejecting ar15 upper compatibility for left handed builds
-Railed front handguard
-Handguard to fit Pipe Hitter 37mm Launcher
-F1 style front handguard and grip
Legalese below:
This project requires modifying standard gun parts. It involves the assembly of a standard AR15 upper and proprietary AR15 related tools are needed. It should be undertaken by a skilled hobbyist with previous experience on 3d printed AR15 platform rifles. This project requires cutting, drilling and tapping, as well as optionally welding printed parts together with a solder iron. Detailed assembly instructions with a bill of materials should be read before assembly to ensure the correct parts can be acquired and or sacrificed.
Update 1-31-2023:
The rear buffer cover initially released was an incorrect prototype part. This has been fixed. If you have already made one, it should be modified or re-printed fully or partially.
Update 2-2-2023:
The magwell has been adjusted and the receiver side plates have the sharp corner on the front removed.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the famar in its current released state is unbuildable. I ended up making cad changes to 4 major components and one minor in order to make the build functional. Once I get some proper sights going this thing will be done though. Flawless function at the range.

Mocked up my FAMAR for painting. I wanted to build a FAMAS as close in appearance to the real thing.
Paint is Krylon K02776007 textured, not fuzzyskin. Barrel is 18 inches, muzzle device is a YHM Phantom. Cheekrest was mirrored and remixed for the left side when using a slickside upper, designed …

The FAMAR is live and released on the BLC Weird Ocean. The developer Stubbs has knocked out this design and made some absolutely amazing improvements and a 37mm Launcher. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
