That's absolutely right. The whole 'Luke' and 'Han' blaster labels that MR even used is simply incorrect.

The official story is that she caught the flu on April 10 and could not work. There are no exterior scenes with her in the official script. It would have been interesting to know if and if so what Kersch had any in mind for her.

I remember reading somewhere that she was so into the film, that she wanted to be there for the first shots...
Gotcha, thanks.

So...maybe it started out with regular grips like the ANH and then because of the cold/ moisture build up after filming for the day and putting everything away, they wouldn't stay on with just glue or whatever so they decided to cut out the single notch and that worked for a while then with regular "use" around the set the top area of the grip kept rattling/coming loose and swinging freely on the single screw on some and so for these ones they added the second screw?

I want to bring this up again to make sure we get this right:
REal MGC and Denix. For all Bespin blaster measurements we need to be thinking about real Mausers.
Looking at all three of my real Muasers, my Denixes, and my MGCs Boba's measurements are pretty much spot on.
I am using the real Mausers as a base for all my comparisons since the hero blasters were real. The Hoth, I'm letting everyone else worry about. I like the Luke so that's my focus.
Anyway, the Denix is larger than the MGC and real Mauser.
From base of mag well plate to lowest edge on upper receiver we get this:
Mauser: 2.222"
MGC: 2.285"
Denix: 2.337"
So to me boba's measurements work on a real Mauser. The 1.25" width of the base section MIGHT be a tad small... needing to be a little wider, especially for the Han Bespin, as they look slightly different, otherwise it's good. Say 1.35"?...
the rest checks out on real Mauser.
I don't remember if we settled this measurement or not on the Bespins (Luke and Han)???

The only problem with making the bottom wider is that it affects all of the other aspects of the bracket.
If you make the bottom wider it changes the angle of the rear upper section. If you make the top longer the get that angle right the scope does not fit on it correctly.
I really think that the difference people are seeing are just perceptual. No one had any issues with the bracket from my last run and I'm sure it will not be an issue this time.
The only way I will redesign it is if we get concrete proof via a direct side shot to get better measurements.
Here is a old comparison shot of my mount test fit on a Denix compared to the Bespin Blaster, it look spot on to me
