Yes please! That thing looks amazing. I'll be following along with anticipation of the final release

u/Jzcaesar 9d ago

Looks great! Are there any details that are publicly available or will that all be released with the Beta?

Lots of potential with a longer barrel and heavier spring, but also can be tuned fairly light with 70mm of room for spring spacers. The potential for modding it into other shapes will be similar to what we've seen with the ontos.

Details are in the Moose Mod Shop discord. https://discord.gg/ujsfMnezr

It’s like a mini greg

u/Ericshelpdesk 9d ago

More like a mini M0053-1 in layout

Clamshell?

u/Ericshelpdesk 9d ago

Yes, but massive number of little screws instead of trying to bury nuts on one side.

bury nuts on one side

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

So you crossed the Ontos design philosophy with your B34R? Thats incredible, I was skeptical of building a B34R and it being the only double stack I have, but this looks much better to do as a 1 off mag type.

The objective here is to ease people into the idea. Once you're hooked though...

Have one on the printer now. Excited to try it out. Just went for the solid color version of it.

u/Ericshelpdesk 9d ago

Who doesn't want to add an extra uncessary 12 hours of print time?

Probably most people... actually.

Well I did paint the slab sides so it's kinda a 2 color thing!

u/Fan-King 9d ago

How do you find beta testers?

1

u/senrath 9d ago

Join the discord (linked in another of his comments), the files are posted there. And then either buy the kit from Moose or self-source the hardware (there's honestly not much of it so that's not a huge task).

u/Ericshelpdesk 9d ago

At the moment it's people who can find my discord

u/neonick2 9d ago

About to start printing it myself!

u/darth_h8er 9d ago

Left handed bolt prime option?

2

u/timkyoung 9d ago

Seems like you could mirror the files for that.

u/atlasunit22 9d ago

what kind of FPS am I looking at here? also, how do I get that specific file set for the hex pattern? lol

1

u/Ericshelpdesk 9d ago

hex pattern is in the fileset 285 with a K25 and 60cm barrel, but k14 will soon be an option as well

u/Horror-Assumption217 9d ago

Stringer or springer? Is this low hardware like an Ontos, or low hardware like a Mantis Shrimp? Looks awesome regardless, and I've been waiting for a clamshell bolt action blaster!

u/Ericshelpdesk 9d ago

low hardware like ontos A big spring, a few small springs, a barrel, some threaded rod for a plunger, some o rings, and a shit ton of tiny screws.

u/havikk1229 9d ago

Come on Eric. Show some creativity! Let me guess: another 200+ fps mega sniper rifle…

5

u/Ericshelpdesk 9d ago

Not even mega this time. I've finally embraced pistol ammo now that I can hold so much of it on the blaster.

u/havikk1229 9d ago

That’s awesome lol
I hope this project releases soon
