The current dimensions are 88.2 x 7.5 x 24.8 cm
The print will likely be cut into 8 cm sections.

Thanks man! This will help a lot with designing the aesthetics I'm having 3D printed for my rifle.

As of today the rifle is complete, now I just have to figure out the magazine. Unbeknownst to me, the UNSC has some kind of bullet shrinking technology.
Here's an example of 32 rounds of 7.62x51 (this is what the wiki claims to be used).
After much finagling I decided to just make the magazine the length it should be in order to reach the breach. The in game one is not only too small to hold 32 rounds, but would also require some sorta ammo scooping mechanism inside the stock. I took the easy way out and it still, barely fits.

Not just yet, I have to stick all the internals in there still. There are some finishing touches to be done on the "regular prop" and I haven't done much for the "functional prop". The way I see it, whats the point of something so accurate if you cant cycle the rifle

Here it is guys, the non-moving version. I'll be posting the "functional" version (ie. a working mag release, sliding bolt, holes for LED's etc.) at a later point. This version of the model ended up being 128,935 polys, (120,899 for the rifle, 8036 for the magazine).
I also modeled the appropriate ammo (4346 polys).

Phenomenal work man! Can't wait to see the moving version.
Lemme know if you want a comparison picture of a 10, 25, and 30 round 7.61x51 mags. Probably too late to be of any use now though.

Special thanks to Praxster for reminding me this model exists, heres a "functional" version. This model will work as though the gun is jammed. The bolt assembly moves, and the mag release should work. Unfortunately there's no real way to make the ejection port open without using metal.
Assembly is pretty straight forward. Just be sure to add a spring behind the mag release button/rail (one that's relatively stiff).
If you want to add leds/ electronics, I'd recommend printing out two power buttons (labeled as "button"), drilling out the static ones attaching the flashlight to one side, the leds to the other.
