Hello! I put together a collection of Bug-A-Salt 3.0 mods that I used to create my home made “A Salt Weapon”. All of the models were created by others, I modified some of them to fit better and to increase the strength. I'm using heavy duty zip ties for the buffer tube/stock mount. I would recommend getting a zip tie tensioner/cutter so you can really tighten them up for zero play. This design is a bit more robust than using traditional hardware and allows for some flex before breaking. I would also recommend using some kind of PLA Pro or PLA+ but I have had success with gold silk PLA as well.

Assembly:

you will need (4) small screws. (2) will hold on the 3-side Picatinny Muzzle and (2) will be used to secure the forward grip halves together. I recommend clamping the forward grip together while you screw it to get a tight fit.

Use some small dabs of super glue to hold the flash hider to the 3-side Picatinny Muzzle. It will slot onto the bug-a-salt barrel for proper orientation.

for the stock/buffer tube mount, loop the zip tie around the forward most set of holes as shown in the picture, get it hand tight then loop the rear zip tie in. Use the head of another zip tie to attach it to the rear zip tie tail and tighten with the zip tie tensioner and cut off the tail. Then tighten the forward zip tie loop and cut off the tail.

No fly is safe.
