Great news! Not that I would’ve thought any different, but FM is sending a replacement. Best customer service you could ask for, over a YEAR later. These things are simply what can happen when making hundreds and thousands of parts. Things can slip through the cracks. I’ve worked in machine...

You know what? I can’t believe I didn’t notice this until now. That newer FM steel flash hider must’ve been off-axis when the rear indexed milled “bullet” cuts were made. I remember thinking they looked extra deep, but I didn’t realize until looking at the pics now that the cuts are much deeper...

All those modern parts look so awful to me on all these Disney era blaster props. Especially that Surefire X300 light they stick on the side of the flash hiders. Completely ruins the aesthetic of the classic props. And those M4 buttstocks. Yuck.

Hahahaha! Yes, this was at the old house, so say hello again to the stump!

Man, I completely forgot to share this project with the forum! Last November (2022), one of my best buddies asked me to build him a Han ANH Hero blaster using a FM base Mauser and an original DEC steel kit. I’m having trouble finding the progress pics, but I’ve got pics from towards the end of...

I'd be down for an AGED color version if possible!

I remember this! I used to have one of the Kyles, I think there were two versions offered, One with the emitter matching the diameter of the rest of the widest parts. I had a green acrylic blade with it. Sold it like 20 years ago.

Yeah, I found it. Or RE-found it, rather. A half hour or so after Shingouki's post. I just want folks to please be patient and not lose their minds. There are many sources, but I really would rather we not have a repeat of the situation of so many past discoveries.

Looks to me like you may have found it! I was actually searching for cord strain-relief type parts just recently! If we find the correct vacuum, the tubing could possibly be a match for the Vibro Axe!

Once again, I’ve made some tweaks to my DL-18 front sight housing and “not-a-marker-cap” models. Gonna do some test prints soon.

Just wanted to make sure I had these updated photos of DL-18 #6 in my blaster thread.

Thanks buddy! It’s just tinkercad.

Yep, that's the one. Like I said, the ocular lens housing is undersized compared to the correct Compac.

Yeah, that's what I meant, the Swift I've got looks just like this Compac. I've had it for about 5 or 6 years. I'm guessing we've both got the same one.

That’s looking great! And I’d be happy to share what I’ve got with you! Here's where I'm currently at. I'll see if I can find your email...
