Homemade angled foregrip for the Kriss Vector

[wednesday]

I needed another angled foregrip but Kriss-USA doesn't ship accessories directly to international customers and our Canadian distributor was woefully out of stock - so I made this out of 3D-printed rubbery TPU. It fits directly onto the dovetail on the underside of the Vector lower instead of needing the pic rail as an intermediate mounting point. Overall, it weighs less than the official picatinny + angled grip combo.

Pretty happy the way it turned out. It secures onto the dovetail with a 2mm cross pin.



The older versions:

Looks good!!! Good work.

Looks Sweet!
3D printing is so cool!

I plans built a cnc router about 20 years ago.
Still works some dos included lol.
PC is still rocking on Win98

Can ya make a extended mag release for the Vector.
Something that is higher and wider at top flat top.
Same shape. With Recessed the holes so same screws can be used.
Finding that mag release hiding in that cavity is tedious.

Like, a paddle that sticks out of the same cavity but extends upwards?

Actually I ended up messing with a chunk of aluminum and came up with this .
Same footprint just extended.
Been playing with it and it’s sweet. Now it’s possible and easy to drop a mag by just pushing with the lower palm of your hand.
Have to be careful not to engage take a little wrist movement and drop mag.
It’s so quick faster drop than a AR release!
Just remember to take your finger of the trigger while changing mags or it’s a DQ!

Plam placement to activate release.

Activated with lower Palm.

I would have sold you my Kriss afg. Lol

Why buy something when you can make it yourself, eh?

Now on my setup the angle fore grip along with the modified mag release would now be interesting, since your grip location is lower more on the lower receiver.
You should print one similar to mine and see. Just 2 tiny 1.5mm screws,,,, to not loose involved.
Add some texture/serrations would be nice.

Hmm do I start a new 3D print hobby?$$?

I do happen to have an extra. If you're willing to cover shipping I'd happily mail it to you. Send a PM if interested

 

[Rippo]

PM sent.

PM sent. Looking forward!

Back to cnc stuff this is my Mill.
Haven’t used it for anything Gun related yet.
This RC Spitfire was entirely built with it. Did a bunch.
Smoked about 4 of them in dogfights . FUN!
Possible aircraft ply pistol rack for the safe that can handle trigger locks. Nothing out there?

Boxed up and ready to go. Also cut retaining pins for the both of us.

Impressive! Is that balsa wood cut with a ball-ended mill?

It’s a 4 flute 1/8”carbide endmill. It’s all 2axis cutting so no ball endmill.
So that plane was cut as a model kit all flat sheets, spars/ribs etc.
Powered by a Dremal . Slow and noisy but satisfying when it all comes together.
Been used to also map out parts for a couple of choppers that are later to be waterjetted. Springer front ends, brake disks. Sissybars stuff.
Here is the surface bed. 3rd issue they get ripped up.

 

[Rippo]

This is my cheat sheet and there is some simple dos.
Here is one of Springer front end for a old 74 HD
Anyway it’s all old school 2D stuff, step above hacksaw and file.

The 3D stuff now being done with printers and mills/robotics is very impressive!
Truth I would love to learn how to draw and print 3D but that’s back to school 101

So back to the original topic of this the 3D printed hand guard for the Vector.
I just installed the hand guard I received from Wednesday that he printed.
Lower piccadilly rail needs to be removed and then it just slips into place.
Nice and smooth finish just enough texture to grip.
Contour is great blends nice.
Extended mag release is still easy to access.
That Piccadilly rail was horrible-sharp
OK done I love it!!
Thanks so much !
