I wanted to make sure that I didn’t lose any functionality compared to my prior chassis setup, so I added onboard ammo storage for. Frankly, I designed a better brace than the other “approved” braces on the market, and as the ATF doesn’t approve standalone accessories anymore, only taking a holistic view on approving a whole firearm or not, this is where the compliance road ends for me (at least until the release some actual written guidelines in the next month or two).īack to the chassis itself. I also went ahead and included a forearm strap so that it, you know, actually functions as a brace. The rearmost area is smaller and thinner than the approved Shockwave Blade, indicating that it is clearly designed as a brace and not a stock. It has a shorter length of pull than the ATF’s “allowed” 13.5”.
Thanks to the power of math, some properly scaled photos, and my sloppy CAD skills, I was able to put together a simple chassis setup with AR grip compatibility and a rear picatinny mount to use my custom side folding brace design.Ī note on my brace design, obviously this is a hot button issue in the current political climate, but my design reflects a good faith attempt to create a legal design following approved elements. The big change was to start from scratch with a new chassis design. The more I added to it, the more complicated and bulkier the whole package became, and I decided it was time to follow the Chapman method and I began to simplify and add lightness. Previously, I had taken a Crickett pistol and installed it in their factory aluminum chassis, which was then later fitted with a folding brace and other 3D printed accessories that I designed. This is the latest iteration of my ever-evolving Crickett pistol build.

He also has a full breakdown video HERE in which he further explains his bolt modification to cock on close, rather than having to pull the cocking handle each time.īooligan also provided me a written summary for our readers below: The following video is from the Booligan Shooting Sports YouTube channel, in which he explains his survival gun design and takes a few shots with it. 22LR cartridge holders on the side of the chassis for easy storage and loading the single shot Crickett. A suppressor was very integral to Booligan’s chassis design, so much so that he worked in a suppressor holder that allows you to screw it into the chassis itself for storage and transport. It should be noted that Booligan’s Cricket action started life from the factory as a pistol, which is why his build utilizes a pistol brace and not a full stock so as not to create a short barreled rifle (SBR) which is regulated by the National Firearms Act.Ī full stock could be used if you attach the chassis to a Crickett rifle, or have already registered yours as an SBR. Militaries around the world have looked at survival rifles and survival pistols for air and space crews since the mid 20th Century.īooligan’s 3D printed survival gun design, is specifically made for the Keystone Crickett. The overall concept for survival guns typically involves using a short, lightweight gun that can take small game for sustenance, or in a pinch, defend one’s self from larger game or people if need be. Just to be clear for those new to guns, survival guns have been around for quite some time and have taken many forms from pistols, rifles and shotguns, or even combination guns with two or three barrels to accomodate more than one caliber. This latest iteration is a streamlined version of his previous survival pistol build, and incorporates all of the same features, but now integrated into the chassis.įirst version of Booligan’s Survival Gun build. The chassis was well thought out and had really unique features, but Booligan didn’t stop there.
Last year, I covered a 3D printed design from Redditor and YouTuber, Booligan, in which he built a survival gun chassis for his Keystone Crickett pistol. 3D Printed Chassis Turns Keystone Cricketts Into Survival Gun + 3D Print Files
