Back to this blaster, scottjua have you had problems with the scope bracket falling or tilting forward/backward, seeing as it only has one point of contact? When I only had the center screw of my resin hoth blaster in, I tried "drawing" it from a holster and it swung loose.

Here Han's Bespin is only slightly tilted..but just to illustrate my point..am I out on a limb?

Yes... for my old static replica, I used a rubber washer as a spacer, and it held relatively well.

But for my live fire, it would have spun all over the place from recoil. I put three countersunk 4-40 screws under the knurled knob to keep it in place. They go through the bracket, spacer, and into the mauser body. Then filed flush internally so the ammo feeds perfectly fine.

Finally, the spacer is exoxied in place as well. No chance of movement.
