Why do you have to break it? What value is there in damaging it?

If he is like me, he probably won't sell it anyway. I think the value comes in at reworking it to make yourself happy.

As usual... very interesting to watch your progress.
It's really tough to get a nice even and dark blue on the Sidkit BR blaster, at least for me it was. This was with the BW Casey stuff. I'm still not happy with it, but I guess for the Worldcon look it was fine.
Dunno how you were planning to do the bluing but I think you may have to end up going the paint route.
Hopefully you can prove me wrong, because there ain't nuthin' like a nice dark gun blue.
Great job so far and good luck!

It keeps me out of trouble.
Started sanding the receiver and barrel. I'll finish up by polishing with a brass wire wheel for the dremel tool. I could stop here with a really cool custom. The top part of the receiver hasn't been polished yet. This is what the entire gun used to look like.

GREAT WORK 
my pal odiwan72 hooked me up wtih the REAL russian margolin .22 cal gun. I LOVE this star wars blaster model almost more then a trooper blaster. The only difference from the real gun is the little square on the site that looks like the LFL guys just glued ontop of the site. i put a aluminum tube in the barrel, wrapped a phone cord onthe barrel, and then affixed the flash that was on the end of the real gun...theres nothing like the real thing. when i saw the mess MR made with this one at the toyfair i was really sad for them but happy for me that i have the real deal. while u got that pup apart wanna make a resin copy of the square so i can glue it on my margolins site?

I was thinking the same thing. Looks a bit like a PPK with an extended barrel. Nice work though Clutch!

Shiny :love
Love what you did with it and I´m keen on seeing how the blueing works out for you!?
I have two converted real Margolins myself, that´s why I´ll never ever touch the SE artist-proof DDC I got from Steve D.

You should remove that finned radiator piece behind the muzzle and replace it with a machined Bobadebt version (if you have/can find one). That MR part is not very accurate.
GREAT WORK
YEP...nothing can beat the real deal
Other differences were the missing markings on the grip-shells and the simplified mag-bottom/ -release.
And I totally agree to Chris T. regarding the removal/ replacement of the grill!
Anyway...all in all I still think MR did a killer job with this blaster, except for the paintjob (Sorry Steve, I read about the paint-approval fiasco :lol).

Looks good! I have the ROTJ version (Margolin from Markus) and I think out of all the SW guns this is the most comfortable gun. I would love to fire a real one (the .22 not blaster) because it seems like a really nice gun. Could shoot like crap though. :lol
Must be some thing wrong with my memory, because the MR version looks identical to the Bobadebt version. What are the differences?
