These turned out pretty well, even though I screwed up a measurement, hah:
Mounted to a Leapers/UTG Accushot 1-4x28mm:
They're reasonably tough. I wouldn't fall on or run into a tree with it or anything, but it definitely serves its purpose. I think in the future, I'll make them with only a single nut/bolt running opposite the handle.
They're made of nylon by 3D printing via Shapeways. Anyone can make basically anything from there. I'll also offer my own CAD services for anyone so inclined.
Danke, if you'd like me to draw one up for your M-223, I'm going to need to get my hands on one to properly measure it up, unless you'd like to send me yours or send me accurate dimensions.
One of these costs about $25-30 + shipping and brokerage (comes from the Netherlands) and doesn't come with the screws/nuts/bolts. Since it's 3D printed, extravagant/complex designs aren't an issue either.
I think threading an M3 screw directly into the plastic isn't too bad, but it probably won't last vs using a nut.
