This is a replacement for the top slide of an Adventure Force (Dart Zone) Aeon Pro X. I tried to make it as short as possible to give an optic more clearance in front, and my beard more clearance in back. I've also added a hand stop, finger grooves and a bolt on side priming handle.

There are two styles of this uh… grip? The flat top one that you can see in the picture, and a considerably nicer to look at rounded model. There are slides for left, right and ambidextrous in both styles.

This thing is printed in one piece, and while it's possible to install it without them, I highly recommend printing four of the “Installation Shims” from the file set. The slide needs to be slightly pried open in the front and back to slip into place. Slide these in under the slide on each side and it will be much easier.

Say slide one more time 

As tricky as it is to install, it's trickier to remove. So really be sure you want it on there. It's not impossible to remove, you're just gonna hate me. I've swapped mine a few times now and I really hate me. But this is the trade off for having a nice rigid single piece.

Files are provided in the proper printing orientation.

Hardware: One M5x20 bolt and one M5 nut. I put a hex head recess in the charging handle so that you can easily install and remove the handle with no tools. There is also enough clearance for a regular socket head screw.
