Also, Chris, dunno if you're still following along...
But are you sure the protrusion from the barrel isn't just a metal rod that was cast into the blaster for rigidity, then chopped after removal from the mold? It looks like a hacksaw was taken to it, like some of the stunt sabers.
I'm seeing a seam line at the back face of the bolt in the photo where the blaster is pointed at Han's chest, so I'm fairly convinced Greedo's gun is a resin cast.
Might be old news. But the trigger guard also looks to be thicker, just like the jawa gun. Another sign of a casting. I'm even considering building up my trigger guard with some melty sheet styrene at this point...
