Thanks! yeah I'm a little obsessed with it. Ordered new springs, and a new bolt stop, and am going to get some factory load ammo and try again.
I'd like to shoot it safely as much as I can. Why not I guess? It's fun.
The range guys all liked it. "Hey bob... check this out!" the whole time.

I do not realy know yet the orrigin of the Grill/Disk area? But i'm going to reproduce the most accuratly possible this distincve spot. In a manner of history, we know Han Solo was a pilot of the Empire before becoming a smuggler. We know also he hates the Empire and he modified himself his blaster. So, in the context of the SW scenario, it is quite logical to think that Solo voluntarily remove the imperial disc from the Empire blaster! Materially speaking, it does not explain the the spot on the weapon, but historically, I like to think that it is plausible logic.

Not as cool as a live-fire version, but here are some new pics my baby:

I like the different metal finishes. Are the bull barrel, scope and flash hider all steel, and which methods did you use?

That is an awesome looking replica, all metal is it? That is what I aspire to. I am just starting out and I'm going to build a resin kit to begin with but eventually I would like to gain the knowledge and skill to make something like this. There is no substitute for seperate metal parts, that's for sure. I imagine the weight of it is lovely. Truly amazing piece, good skills my friend

New to this thread - :love :love :love
I used a combination of paint and bluing to make the parts look the way I thought they did in reference pics. Some parts are even blued, then painted, then scratched to reveal blue steel under the paint.
It was tons of fun making this blaster!Another WELL executed MGC conversion...looking great
Did you modify the MGC trigger or swapped it for a real one?
Markus
Thanks Marcus! I modified the MGC trigger. It was nerve-racking!
Thanks man - yep all metal (apart from the grips). This is a steel kit from DEC's first run built on a MGC Mauser. The walnut grips are from DEC as well.
Great stuff everyone!
