blue109 Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 https://mkmachining.com/index.php/product/index/1/0 Quick first impression on MKM 3D printed throw lever. I wanted one of these for my 1-6.5x since its the type of optic I change magnification on pretty regularly. They are adding new applications on a regular basis and I had to wait a few weeks for the Bushnell tactical model, but Price is only $15 compared to the normal $70+ of the fancy CNC ones so I jumped on it. Showed up fast, but I had an issue. I run a not so standard setup on the matrix gun. Low rings with a raised PRI top rail. My issue was that the thick lever was contacting the side of the rifle before max elevation. I emailed MKM to ask if they had any ideas. They requested a pile of pics from all angles, and a week later they sent me a custom lever that fits perfect totally free. Amazing customer service. Locks on nice and tight. Makes adjustment silky smooth. Plastic feels strong, but not brittle. Clamps together with a small hex head screw and has a threaded insert. First impression is very positive. I'll update when I get some range time. These guys also make printed rail and scope mounted bubble levels for $10, and CNC versions for more $. They are also beta testing a pretty cool looking rem 700 bullpup chassis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DD_Raptor Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 Nice looking weapon there blue. I tell you 3D printing is something else man. I read some where someone was building a small bridge with 3D printers. If I can find the link i'll post it. But those throw levers are pretty cool man.

jtallen83 Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 I need two of those for my 1-6.5's like yours. Could you PM me more info so I could have them make me two like yours? Might have to try the rail mounted level for my AR-10 as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
