Chroma Scales OKC RAT II Scales, OD Frag Design, CHR10063008

Material is Nylon PA12

Additively manufactured on an HP MJF 580. PA12 is a durable nylon that has low water absorption.  Note that this material is not nearly as stiff as the stock G10 so the scales are a thicker to compensate as well as to provide thickness for contouring.  Nylon is also the base material in FRN (Fiber reinforced Nylon).  Durability is similar to FRN but not quite as stiff without the fiber reinforcement.  It won’t shatter but it may scuff or dent over time with very heavy use.
