It's always lovely to work with a local Oregon company, such as Design & Manufacturing from Hillsboro. It is an engineering company that provides niche products for unique markets. It was a fun challenge to work with them on producing replacement parts that allow antique firearms to remain in use.

The Problem

The goal of this project was to produce replacement parts for firearms whose components had become obsolete. The inaccessibility of these parts has prevented avid sport shooters from using legacy firearms that have been passed down through generations. Our project was to design and produce a replacement magazine for the Remington Model 591.

The Solution

For this project, we used Nylon 12 PA 2201. We chose this material because it's rugged, lightweight, and still economical for mass production. It is also resistant to most chemicals, which makes it an excellent choice for firearm parts.

While producing the parts, one fell out of tolerance and didn't fit the firearm when the customer received the magazine. We collaborated with TREKKER Design & Manufacturing to repair the part and developed a solution to prevent future problems.

Overall, the parts have been a great success for both TREKKER Design & Manufacturing and their customers! Because the replacement parts are functional and hold a tight tolerance. The speed of additive manufacturing allowed production to keep up with the client's high demand for the parts.

We love working with and supporting local businesses and can't wait for our next project with TREKKER Design & Manufacturing.
