Nice work kpax, looking good! Just that much more accurate now.
So, does anybody have the correct, real MG81 Flash Hider they could provide a few measurements for? Maybe then we will be able figure up a more definitive Barrel Length for this sucker.

Re: ANH Hero DL-44 Discussion
It was said that the flash hider, as evidenced in some photos, was "stuffed" to make the barrel sit in the hider centered which is why the flash hider is off kilter in some pics.
The "set screw" is only used here to secure the end of the barrel. Not sure if they threaded the barrel or the MG81 hole to do this.
Not sure if everyone knows, but the REAL MG81 boosters do not use set screws. The holes in the flash hider, which if you notice goes through top and bottom, as to aid in screwing the booster on and off the end of the machine gun barrel. You would put a rod through the holes to get more leverage. You can imagine the vibration the machine gun would exhibit. If the booster wasn't tight it would just fly off.

Re: ANH Hero DL-44 Discussion
Good point about the notch
Good point about the notch
The disk on the Merr Sonn Blaster has a little square notch in it, which would show in the paint when removed. So I don't think it's exactly like that one, but seems very likely to be a similar piece. Like the barrel greeblie, it looks very similar, but not quite the same.
But, that's probably what they were going for.
Edit: I changed the Title of this thread to ANH Hero DL-44 Discussion to free up the discussion a bit. :thumbsup

Re: ANH Hero DL-44 Discussion
The same way i got mine ... he made it on a lathe and milled the cutouts.
You need a lathe, Markus. :love
I could mill my barrel every minute - but we havn´t completly discovered everything. Even with milled underside the chamfers on my centered bbl seem smaller - it has the same width as the receivers, so ..... milled or not, is the original bbl off center? Or not? Or wider than the receiver?
Still some questions.

Re: ANH Hero DL-44 Discussion
I not only need a lathe, but also a mill....
oh and to complete the list, I ´d need:
- money
- workspace and last but not least...
- SKILLS to do anything like that
Seems like I have to rely on gentlemen like you, who are gifted with ALL listed above :lol

Re: ANH Hero DL-44 Discussion
"Almost there..." wait - yours?
You don´t like ROTJ blasters, how could it be yours? :confused
Ääääh, wait again - it is mine and i don´t like ROTJ blasters - strange world. :lol
Without kidding ....... i have Kurtys lower Receiver and i have my MGC, i´m waiting for Markus MGCs - so i can mill all the side greeblies at the same time. And i´ve still no accurate blueprints of the flashhiders.
Nice work, guys!
Michael-
Is my Han ROTJ blaster finished?

Re: ANH Hero DL-44 Discussion
Hi Michael,
I think your barrel may not look correct because of the dimensions of the MGC vs REAL or Denix. If you recall the past posts it seems the MGC has more material above the bore than the REAL, .180 vs .160
Also check the width of the top of your receiver, on the REAL from Dcarty it is only .2975. My Denix was .4000+-
This would make a difference in how the bevels look I think.

Why can´t you guys use the metric system, cm and mm, as the rest of the world? :lol
I will check.
