I did not notice until it was mentioned, damm. Will have to whait until I receive it if at least they get covered with the opposite grips.

Having them on opposite sides implies that the unused holes would be covered by the clamp, I think.
Not covered by the clamp, covered by the grips. If they were covered by the clamp there would be no point to drilling 7 holes there for the ANH grips.

Fair enough. Not having a graflex to reference, is the spacing for 6 vs 7 holes a big enough difference that the width of the tracks won't cover them? And actually, to that end, without screws on the ANH tracks, why bother drill in the first place? I might guess that there's a hidden screw to hold it to the clamp somewhere, justifying the additional holes?

I agree and that might be it. 5 more months to know.

How is Parks for ordering parts, not complete sabers. I need a couple parts to finish my Heiland Vader conversion. I just need the MPP clamp, button panel and grips. Is there another option out there?

I have personally not ordered from him before but with parts if they are in stock they say it's fast, you can try blast-tech he sells good quality products and has mpp parts.

Last I heard Blast-tech wasn't making parts any more. I email them a few months back and they had virtually nothing left.

Yep. Last I emailed him (not too long ago) for some DL-44 parts, he said all he had left were grills. Then again, with better and more accurate stuff out there now, I can see how it'd be hard pressed to find a reason to still be open for business.

Is romans making Graflex repros? since on their site I only see everything related to Obi-Wan Lightsaber.
Romans Empire is currently finalizing the costs for the run. But it appears to be a go. There is much interest from members here and I am sure elsewhere too. Not certain on the time frame.

I'm very excited about Roman's upcoming graflex run. Now if someone would just make Vader/MPP parts so I can finish mine.
We can only hope for Roman to deliver us from Parks.

Amen brother.
Is it a coincidence, but a sith lord was played by a Ray Park, close, just add a 'S' for Sith. Lol.

If you go to classifieds and project run, you will see Romans has posted a run for the Graflex.

Found it, thanks; Hope the replica doesn't have any stampting, I don't think the one on TFA will have any even though it is said they purchased a lot of vintage graflex; It will make it more accurate.
Oh, there will be stamping on Roman's AND the TFA one (I would be SHOCKED if there wasn't)
They wouldn't have gone for the vintage flashes just to take off what makes them unique.
