I’ve had my parts kit laying around since the fist drop of the nylaug. I’m hopefully getting everything together to print some PA6 for the first time. Once I get that figured out I want to finally get the nylaug going. I see there are a few places with aluminum trunnions. Is this necessary or a worthwhile upgrade? Any other tips before starting?

They are more of a longevity thing in my opinion, although to be honest my trunnion is not showing much signs of wear, granted my 556 reciever has only seen around 500 shots, and my 300bo reciever around 100, so mine are not on the abused side of things. If you intend to put thousands of rounds into it, quickly, I would go for it though.
Granted the piece totals to about 50g of filament, and with the kilogram at $80 in polymaker pa6cf20, you would have to run through 25 nylon trunnions before you equalize the price of the one offered by V in his site(here if you wanna check it out, its on discount: https://3dprintfreedom.com/product/nylaug-aluminum-trunnion/), however, it does have the benefit of putting metal right on the chamber, so on the safety side you can guess how much more peace of mind you can have knowing an OOB would probably not explode your face as hard as on the printed one… though the mechanism of the aug seems to prevent it on its own, hammer won’t hit the bullet unless bolt is fully seated, but it does also remove some of the heat in the area since it has better conductivity and more thermal mass than the printed trunnion…
Anyway I think I’m getting derailed, I dont think the aluminium trunnion is fully necessary, but if you can purchase one, it is a nice to have, as I said 3dprintfredom has it on discount right now if you want it(its the link above).
Right, I’d like to save the $100 if I don’t need it. I highly doubt mine would get abused, I have ARs for that lol. Did you keep the AUG trigger pack? I see there are files to modify an AR FCG to work instead
I did, but I got the FA permissions for were I live, so I basically kept it stock, if you can get that that’s what I recommend, but if you dont, rather than modifying the original fcg, It’s better if you make the ar fcg mod, has a better trigger feel than stock and I’ve heard guys saying its more reliable, my guess its cuzs the ar fcg is made out of metal, but it IS more work, though it seems worth it IMO
Unfortunately not an option for me. Guess I’ll go for the AR one
IMO the best option, I was going to make one myself for when I wasnt planning on using FA, but just didn’t have the time
3dprint freedom said it was not necessary.
