3D model of a rifle

Sep 23, 2005 4 Replies

Hello all;



I'm looking for a 3d model of a rifle, or for that matter any "long gun"



I may have to model one up myself, but if anyone knows of one, please let me know.



I'd be grateful,

Just the upper and lower receivers for AR-15, but maybe a good start?

Hey Mike,

Thanks for the web page.

I had those models, and thought I might do just what you say, and start with that.

One thing I am appreciative of is you pointing me to the CNC Gunsmithing site, since I found those models over six months ago I lost the website, and I think it's pretty interesting since I work in the sporting arms and ammunition industry.

If I do make a model I'll try to make it available.

I may have found another way, by converting a 3DS file with a program called CtrlView where I may succeed translating a 3D studio file to iges.

That can be found here:

Thanks much,

Also ShapeWorks (

) can convert any 3DS files to SolidWorks geometry inside SolidWorks.

I downloaded their free trial, the results were disappointing to say the least. It did convert 3ds to a very large IGES but the surfaces where made up of lots of triangles, which made the model useless to me.
