I sign pretty much everything I get online, UPS or not.

This is very cruel, posting a pristine one next to the weathered. Now I want both. :P

That's a good question.

Got it a couple of days ago. Just finished assembling it, and it looks fantastic. But that's not what's amazing about it to me. I'd like to put the emphasis (as many have before) on the engineering behind this kit. This may be the most fool-proof prop I've ever seen. It's literally impossible to...

This thing will be the best engineered thing I have in and out my house once I get it.

I think that it makes sense that the washer and bolt would be the same exact ones used on the Obi-Wan, no?

So beautiful it hurts.

I'm going to say what I said in another thread the other day: this is going to be the best replica of anything ever. Happens a lot these days. Like you guys said in the video, we're really spoiled.

This will be the best replica of anything ever.

Very valid criticism on the springs. Mine are also very weak. I just stretched the sight spring to compensate after trying it out but I would've done it with all the internals knowing what I know now. The only spring that is strong enough is the long one in the bolt.

Depends on the parts; some parts are rust blued (Magazine Door, Upper Frame, Upper End Cap, Bull Barrel, Flash Hider, Scope & Mount) some are flame blued (Bolt Stop, Extractor, Lock Frame Stop, Safety, Sight Button, Sight Slide, Trigger) some are left on bare steel (Bolt, Hammer, Lock Frame...

Yeah that's it. Options can be a little confusing. I had to contact Chris directly to figure out how to order exactly what I wanted and what exactly was included in the kit. Messenger worked best for me, but he can take a few days to come back. Same thing with emails, but the service...

The quality of the parts is top notch. No reason to believe that the aluminum kit wouldn't be any less well made. The only difference would be the finishing of the parts, why is why I chose the steel version... First it's more accurate, and second the finishing method is more accurate because of...

That's because people want to replicate the weathering of the screen-used prop: Most people use stencils. Here's a thread for some great accurate stencils, by (who else) Scottjua. https://www.therpf.com/forums/threads/ltd-run-han-solo-anh-super-accurate-stencil-run.287514/
