SSG-69 Magazine parts

[saddler]

Out of interest, could someone post a photo of what part it is that bteaks off.
Not that familiar with the design foibles of the SSG magazine

The 3 parts on the left are broken. You can see where they break from the one at the top which is cracked.

It's not an overly complicated part but they are handed and the 5rnd and 10rnd ones are slightly different, so 4 different designs/parts would need to be manufactured.
I'd say Delrin would work but probably anodised ali would be the better way to go.

Looks like the sort of thing 3-d printing was dreamed up for

[JSC]

This is what I'm thinking...

Forget AR-15 lowers. Print me some SSG mags please!

What about some kind of casting?

[Alpha1]

I had a guy try to make me some using a 3d printer it was not successful. He made me some using a mould out of some sort of resin they work but they are not exact copies. I could ask to have a go at making some more but I guess he is not going to spend to much time on it unless he can make some money out of it.

You could cast your own out of resin or aluminium

Hmm... they could be CNC'd and anodised however it would not be economical to build a run of less than a couple of dozen.

There must be 1000`s of these around.
How feasible to make ,say, 200 or 500 ?

Seems to be a common problem.

I will strip a magazine down this weekend, inspect and dimension. The more that are built the cheaper they become however I would hate to machine 500 sets only to have the majority of them sit on the shelf for the next 5 years...
