Was this what you were looking for? I haven't messed with this kit itself yet, other then to occasionally clean off some of the surface rust that it gets.

You mean the slot in the grip frame to accept the shoulder stock? It looks the same as when I got it; I haven't filed or sanded on the base C96 itself. I can take a photo if you would like?

For a bit of extra money I could also chop off the sleeve barrel to drill and tap the upper receiver to accept one of Todd's Costumes screw-in bull barrels, as I've already done this once before.

Looking to sell a spare Blaster Factory kit that I've held unto. The kit is essentially complete and ready to start being worked on, and comes with Field Marshal's walnut wooden grips. The scope included in this listing is Field Marshal's "elite" steel scope. I had begun work sanding and...

I'd say the chances of them knowing where the real screen used C96 are about as good as an Egyptian mummy being revived.

Nicely done! Brings back memories of grinding on a Denix myself.

lol They're already hiding/deleting comments. Ministry of Truth hard at work

Poor sods

Yeah, Heritage Auctions definitely isn't legit—if you know who's behind the scenes. Jim Halperin, the founder of HA, is the same guy who was arguably responsible for the graded coin bubble of the 80s by having NCI overgrading coins. He agreed to a permanent injunction and paid $1.2 million in...

Dead Mauser Theory: where every C96 is Han Solo's blaster.

Putting the starting bid at the gift price of 500k! In all seriousness I'm actually more surprised that they haven't tried counterfeiting the 'other' Han blasters that could conceivably pass as authentic, like the Greedo Killer. MGCs aren't nearly hard to come by as real C96s, and save for...
