MDT Hnt26 diy buttpad above centerline mod

Yep, he made a bunch of iterations and arrived on one that captures the nut and retains the indentations to help align spacers. The only adjustment is length of the bolt for spacers on the aft side if you wanted them there instead of forward between the piece and the rifle.

I'm a buyer if he gets something. I was going to just do this myself as my first 3D printing project. Would be great to have this for all sorts of stocks like Stockys VG, XLR, etc.

This is the KRG Midas. I love this trigger. It’s curved, but wider than the factory trigger by quite a bit. 2 stage as well.

KRG Midas is the way!

I would be interested in this as well

I’d buy one as well

Should have a couple to test this week, on both a HNT-26 and an ACC Premier.

Since you are printing it, could you actually print it with threads so you wouldn’t even need the nut? I’m not familiar enough with printing but I’ve seen it in some molds. Just can’t overtighten them if they strip.

My NRL Hunter teammate is making them, a lot of iterations were just to test the plastic holding the steel nut at certain ft/lb ratings. I don’t think relying on the plastic to hold enough tension for threading would be the way to go without much higher cost material. Weight difference is in grams. I know in the one piece captive nut model he’s embedding the hardware and building up the print area to hold it. He does have a website where they will be available and the goal is to just cover print time and material plus hardware. Current model is .65” rise. They’ll wind up very significantly cheaper than the MDT comp model and weight will be not much different at all than LOP spacers. I’m using an OBI Cush Pad on mine to achieve wanted LOP but these with a stock HNT-26 pad should be lighter than that.
