Alien (Kane’s) EVA Pistol Help

[Captain Dunsel]

I’m planning on starting an Alien EVA Pistol build in the next few weeks and am looking for the Single Point scope rail mount seen here:

Is this a custom piece or a commercial rail mount available somewhere?

Either commercial or military piece.

 

[Captain Dunsel]

Either commercial or military piece.

I’m thinking the same but am unfamiliar with the rail design

 

[Zombie Killer]

I dont think anyone would use that for a mount that needed to hold any kind of zero. Its made of flexible wire .

Does anyone know if it’s accurate to the original, or is it a fan interpretation?

here are some photos of the original blaster for better reference on that mount. To me, it was hand made for production, from thin bendable tubing as shown in the second picture.

 

[dproc]

I used a bicycle spoke bent in shape with the join hidden by the centre plate. High tensile and very stiff although maybe slightly thinner. It doesn't move at all however. I found the thickness fit much better in the scope mounts. Thicker wouldn't stay in well at all. But mine is 3d printed. Metal mounts are probably a different story.

 

[Captain Dunsel]

Hmmmm…looks look a simple steel tube, bent to shape, with a mounting plate in the middle…should be simple enough to replicate (famous last words).

Though, I still suspect that the original is a “found item” of some kind.

 

[Captain Dunsel]

I’m wondering if the “plate” is actually the bottom of a shortened clip installed into the base gun with the rail soldered around the outer perimeter of the clip, pinched between the bottom of the gun and the bottom plate of the clip?

I always thought that Oakshore OEG on the bottom looked a little silly, but since these props were barely seen during the movie, no harm done, eh.

Oh, was it confirmed as an Oakshore, good to know, thanks

 

[Cold Canuck]

My apologies, I have the Oakshore red dot sight, the dingus they attached to the bottom of that prop was actually the
Armson OEG (Occluded Eye Gunsight)
Back in the late 80's and early 90's when I still played paintball, there were a couple of guys on the team that used that Armson OEG (I was never really a fan because you had to keep both eyes open and force your brain to superimpose the image of the red dot over your unobstructed view of your victim...um, opponent. I still have my Oakshore red dot, and after 40 some odd years, it still works and still holds a zero.
Sorry for the confusion.

I’m not seeing that particular scope on the screen-used original.

Looks like a Single Point to me (a Roger Christian “go-to”)…

 

[Cold Canuck]

Bear with me, it's been forty years since I talked to most of my paintball teammates, but if I recall, the brand name Single Point was used to sell the OEG sights to the US military and the distribution warehouse was based in the US.
There was enough concern about the optics of a south African company (Armson) selling devices to the US military that they decided to start Single Point in the US, there were approx. 6 different versions of each sight, so you should expect there to be differences in actual appearance.

 

[eethan]

yes, it is a singlepoint:
