Introduction: K'NEX ARX-160

About: K'NEX gun builder here at Instructables. More or less retired from the community, but I still pop in now and again.

Out of the hundreds of different assault rifles there are out there, the ARX-160 has long been my favorite. Having been attempted by both Blue Mullet and KnexBuild, the ARX-160 was no easy build. In the first place, the distance from the bottom of the mag well to the top of the receiver is 5 1/2 in. It took me a year and a half to get the measurements, and I got them at a gun show some months back. This replica is full size, coming in at 32 in. long (a standard size for most assault rifles nowadays), and it weights between 2 and 3 lbs. The magazine has a good capacity of 16 rounds +.

Features:

  • 16+ magazine capacity
  • 32 in. long
  • Sturdy
  • Great range: 60 - 80 ft.
  • Great pin pull length: 7 - 7 1/2 in.
  • Super modular
  • Great sights
  • Nice stock (if you have the time and the pieces, it would be really easy to make it a telescoping stock)
  • Super usable (It might even work in an indoor K'NEX war)
