This is an AR-15 papercraft, the third iteration of a long project that has undergone several stages. I started posting these on /po/ a while ago, with the intention that it would be a modular thing that the community could add new parts to.

It is fairly detailed and takes a lot of paper, so you have to build it gradually and piece-by-piece. A classic M4 configuration, for example, would be 27 pages.

There are a couple of different styles for stocks, handguards, etc, and most things are available in black, tan, colorless, and sometimes gray versions. There are flattop and A1 upper receivers, as well as different barrel lengths. If yo want to build a longer barrel, note that there is no proper M16 handguard, although putting two carbine-length RIS handguards makes a rifle-length one.

The package is rather lightweight because I've omitted most of the V1 and V2 parts. The furniture and sights that haven't been replaced are still included though, so there are still a couple of hand-drawn pages.

(The bottom center button is the correct one.)

In regards to my next papercraft, I can work on either an M1911 or an AKS-74U, depending on popular demand.

FAQs:

1. What kind of paper does this use?

For thickness, I'd recommend something thicker than printer paper, but experiment to see what fits your needs best in regards to color quality, foldabiliy (esp for curved parts), etc. The key is that it's moderately stiff.
In terms of size, use regular printer size. These vary by country, but as long as it's about 8 inches wide, you're good. Make sure the image takes up the whole page.

2. I don't want to use whatever filehost the download link sends me to, can I still get it?

The package itself is too large to send completely by email, but if you narrow it down by requesting a specific color scheme (black, tan, gray, or white) or a specific configuration, I can email you those files.
Additionally, if you know a better filehost, feel free to suggest it.

3. Where does X go?

If the notes files and construction photos aren't clear enough, just ask here and I'll explain. However, make sure you look at the photos first, since a picture is better than a written description.

4. There are no holes in the takedown pin hook.

My apologies. The holes were trapped under the colored layer and weren't displaying properly. I've recently uploaded a corrected version.

There are notes included .txt files. Also all the little pieces have titles, indicating their function and general location.

Additionally, there are some construction images of half-built stuff, to show where the more confusing elements go.

But I'd be happy to answer any questions regarding the building process.

I finished the assembly of the M4, this past weekend. I disafrutado much with the assembly, but moreso, seeing it finished. There are some that another small touch, but with a little skill, everything has a solution.
I would appreciate the author, any more paramontar model, if it could be in any format other than pdo.
Here is the link so they can finish the model.

Best regards

Thank you very much by observation, I had not noticed. Tomorrow I fix it, because as goes with magnets, the change in position and ready. I'm looking forward to your new model. The problem I find with pdo files, is that no assembly instructions. Anyone know if the ride?

Excellent. It's always nice to see people build it.

I do intend to make another model (m1911), and it won't be in PDO.

As a side note, the Aimpoint scope is backwards. This is the way it should be.
