ArmaLite AR-18 Custom Build

Behold my little Armalite, fully custom-designed and 3D-printed to fit around a V2 gearbox.

A couple of people in the community have been working on a similar project, but sadly the files were never released. Naturally the next step was to pour a hundred hours into building it for myself (thank you ADHD).

ArmaLite AR-18 Complete AEG Body Kit

** UPDATE: Fixed scaling issue in .stl files **

Evening all.

Finally finished my latest project - the ArmaLite AR-18 full body kit for V2 gearbox-based AEGs!

I'm aware a couple of other users have been working on a similar project, but in their absence over the past few months I thought I'd cook up my own version and see how it goes. It's been designed completely from scratch to replicate the real thing as closely as possible, but importantly with airsoft applications in mind throughout (this means no folding stock at the moment, sadly).

Features:

  • Operational charging handle with dust cover and mock bolt (for accessing the hopup)
  • Compatible with standard M4 STANAG magazines (untested on other magazine types)
  • Designed to use as many standard-specification Marui AEG components as possible
  • Fully adjustable front & rear sights
  • Reproduced trademarks closely matching the originals
  • Fully 3D printable on 180mm print beds
  • Full assembly guide & parts diagrams

This is also my first time offering files for a price rather than releasing them for free, which hopefully reflects the time and effort that has gone into this project. Please let me know if the listed price is reasonable for the content and quality.

I'll be closely monitoring this over the coming weeks/months to address any issues/feedback, so naturally all comments and criticisms are welcomed.

Enjoy!
