Hello all! Here I am doing more weird shit to my lever gun. I decided i wanted to replace the wood stock and found RPP had a pistol grip w Pic rail, which i love. So now im looking for which stock I want to put on it.

So here I am, reaching out to the various collectives to see what folding stocks are recommended. I have included some options I gave found and think I like, but feel free to add more to look at. I am hoping this to be an ELR build, and I would prefer a minimalist looking stock. I would need some real good reasoning to want to go over $350-$400 for a stock.

The first picture is the rifle: a henry lever action supreme, converted to 6ARC by line49, with their 16in medium weight match barrel, in RPP furniture. Currently with a magpul UCS folding stock. This works fine but is a bit thick for what I want.

2nd is probably my favorite; Midwest industries alpha series stock. This has a lot of adjustability, a solid looking cheek rest, and it's pretty thin and flat when folded.

3rd photo is A3 industries ALM with an offset. This is probably the most minimalist stock I like and is incredibly adjustable. I like the offset, but you could get it with a straight arm as well. The xeno cheek rest is not my favorite, but it is very functional.

4th is what appears to be a fairly new option: Samson's SAS. Very minimalist, probably the least adjustable of the ones i like. Comes in a -K version that I would probably get for the shorter length.

5th is the magpul Zhukov. It's a little slimmer and slightly more adjustable than the UCS i have, but it's still not great.

If you have other favorites or ideas, please let me know.

I ordered a BOG deathgrip infinite, which has an arca rail head option. Very cool, arrives next week.

EDIT: the handguard is for my henry lever action supreme in 6Arc, and is made by ranger point precision.

While at fleet farm for their 15% off everything in a bucket sale, I saw this 12in BOG arca rail, got excited and immediately tossed it in the bucket with my stack of 6arc ammo.

Took the handguard off to install the rail, and im not sure who is more likely to be the problem. Either pair of mlok slots lock in just fine (first two pictures), but when I line it up to slide all 4 in, it looks like 2 of them wont line up properly (third picture). I also took a 4th picture to show that at 3, they wont line up, from above so you can see the "faux tube" mounting block.

So either the mlok connections on the handguard are not spaced properly around the "faux tube" connector, or the space between the pairs of connectors on the BOG rails are off. Im not sure which is more likely, or if there is something I can do to fix us.

I was excited to mount this full length rail and give myself all the options, but I dont think thats going to happen. Maybe I can make 2 6in rails connect, but I think getting a single 6in will solve my issue for now. Any further advice would be appreciated.

ETA: dunno if I can add the phone, but the problem is the "web" section under the 'faux tube connector is around 1mm thicker, so cant line up accross it.

The next piece of my 6arc build is going to be a muzzle brake/supressor. Since weight can't be increased much on my rifle (henry lever action supreme), I would like to use a muzzle break to help control what little there is.

From my research, the lantac dragon seems like my target brake, but it comes in a short and long design. I am hoping someone might be able to explain why I should pick one over the other?

For supressors, im considering a 36cal supressor, probably a otter creek universe (i had heard i should be looking at inconel?) Is the only issue with a larger supressor that it reduces sound less?

As I understand, these two would work together, but I would love advice or suggestions if you have them.

Thank you all for your time.

It took me a long while, but I finally figured out both the "greenwing" and "deathwing" paint schemes for my DA. I still haven't picked out eye lens color, but im extremely happy with how these guys look.

I want to personally shout out army painter speedpaint markers, which are the entire reason these guys are getting painted. I travel too much for work to want to give up my limited home time with a lot of painting, and travel with a standard paint setup isn't much better. But these speed paint markers make it crazy simple to toss in a magnetic bottomed box and just pull out anywhere yo get some painting in, with minimal at home prep beforehand

Edit: Wording improved

Converted to 6arc, new scope mounted, and me and a buddy drove out to a national forest to zero it and try out some other guns. Great day, super fun gun. 6 arc feels so easy.

Seeing a lot of cool krieg ogryn, so adding mine from The Makers Cult. Waiting on some stamping supplies to finish markings and then a tiny bit of white dry brushing for the freshly snowed on look.

Various pictures of the problem. I recently switched from PFA TO FEP, recalibrated the same ABS like resin, and have been having a ton of success. Essentially.... until these guys.

Part of it could be the plate needing to be leveled again. Part of it could be im still moving too fast. Other prints have run beautifully without issue. Im wondering also if im just crowding the plate, or maybe even its just these models supports are garbage. The original models (in .stl) were enormous files, and I had to reduce their faces down substantially to get them repaired and converted to .3mf.

Any help troubleshooting would be amazing while I continue to dig around. My resin settings/orientation should be the last pictures.

Printer: anycubic M7

Resin: sunlu abs-like (dark grey)(relatively new, shaken just in case)

Room is kept 80-85F, enclosed bathroom with ventilation.

This is where I am so far on my space cowboy shenanigans. Gun is a smith and wesson 1854 in .357:

RPP pistol grip w/1913 Pic rail for stock

Magpul ucs folding stock.

RPP takedown screws for both the lever and stock.

RPP red loading gate for that contrast

Blue 95# paracord for lever wrap. This shit is tiny and that wrap took forever, but it feels great.

Next plans:

Different folding stock. I would like something smaller, and probably with a different angle.

RPP forend. That pewview would look awesome I think.

Red dot/magnifier combo, I think will be the most space cowboy.

I love my 5.56 lever supreme so much im currently trying to get it smithed into being multi-caliber, so seeing it come out in a third base caliber is super exciting for me.

Cannot wait for some grips shaped for human hands to arrive. This is already a phenomenal shot.

Pre-model 17

Just picked up and cleaned this pre-model 17. I picked it up for about $600, and I can not be happier. Internals look great, locks up great, and im crazy excited for my first shots tomorrow.
