Another Bug-a-Salt Picatinny Rail (4° Angle)

Introduction

I bought a dirt-cheap Chinesium reflex sight for my Bug-a-Salt 3.0 (Bug a Salt) salt gun but found that available adapters were either too far angled or too high profile for my tastes.

• Bug Salt rifle picatinny rail adapter by tgebryce was fantastic but had no angle, and ultimately formed the basis for this remix.
• Bug-A-Salt Picatinny rail by iamklutch had way too much angle for my tastes and by my calculations would zero just ahead of the barrel - I didn't want to get that close to the flies.
• Bug A Salt Picatinny Rail by spoc (itself a remix of the model by tgebryce) was close to perfect with a 4.8° angle, but was too high profile for my tastes and sat too far back on the gun.
  • I also found it incompatible with V3.0 of the Bug-a-Salt, requiring 0.5mm cut off the bottom of the mounting teeth and a reduction in length to 85mm.

Design

• Alas TinkerCAD won me over so I didn't bother with putting this into F360.
  • Link here
• Adds minimum height while also adding a 4° angle.
  • 500mm ideal target distance + 230mm from tip of barrel to front of built-in rail.
  • 35mm from bore to height of reticle on Bug Salt rifle picatinny rail adapter by tgebryce.
  • Some trigonometry resulted in the calculated angle being about 4.3°, which I rounded down to 4° to err on the side of greater distance, also presuming at sub-degree calculations I was within error range of the spread of salt at 500mm.

Vitamins

• No bolts, screws, or other vitamins needed, aside from what your sight requires.
• Pictured sight is:
  • Tactical Riflescope 1x22x33mm Reflex Red Green Dot Sight Holographic Illuminated 4 Reticles Sight for 11/20mm Picatinny Rail
  • Black 20mm option purchased and used for this design

Printing

• 0.2mm, 15% infill, 4 vertical walls
• I printed upright with organic supports on all raised flat surfaces (primarily underside of the rail)
• Possibly could print upside down but I did not test this so YMMV
