Hi all,
I had this one on my HD for ages, in fact it was about the first model I adapted for print (for results, look at Pernicious Duke's posting, he's the owner of the gun, in the "what to expect from 3D print" topic he so kindly created). It was originally created by Martin Lee Ball several years ago and I found it on a 3Dmax forum. All kudos for creating the extraordinary smooth version of this brutal shotgun go to him !
After some tinkering with it, I adapted it for 3D printing in the summer of 2016. However it turned out the design had a couple of issues in terms of strength and assembly, so I never released it.
I've done a rework on it now : the gun is presliced (reslice at your own discression using Netfabb or whatever), the holes to insert rods to make sure the gun becomes one rigid, strong piece are already there, and the "weak spots" have been strengthened (like the flashlight mount which is really pretty weak in the original design). I also made the top cap removable as I my reservations regarding the longlivity of that hook on top.
I also added a little touch in hollowing out the tac light, and using a 2cm diameter small 2watt Led flashlight to make it all look a bit more real if you wish for that. Also, I added the bottom grip as a seperate part : you either glue it in place, or you can start tinkering there using a slide mechanism to create a pump action type of prop.
As always, have fun, use it to you own discression.

Remember that if you'd rescale the parts, you'll need a different sized flashlight and internal rods (they are currently made to accept 12,7mm and 6,3mm rods approx, so 1/2 and 1/4 inch to you guys I'd suppose )
