I am wondering the same thing myself....somehow , there has to be an activation on the outside of scope , somewhere , it cant be seen , to make the laser come on whenever needed

Just saw this thread. Your pistol looks great, Demetrius! :thumbsup That's impressive work!

Here's my AMT, but it's just the .22 Magnum that I bought new back in the 80's along with the grip mount and the red dot scope. They had a form inside the box to get the walnut grips for about $25.

AMT made some cool stuff. Always wanted one of those 22mags.

I love the old 80's pistol scope mounts too. Very cool.

Sidewinder and Demetrius,

Thanks for the info. I'm on the hunt now for a AMT Longslide, that FNG grip mount, those rings, and that Laser Products sight. I'll probably have to buy an entire gun just for the sight, if I can ever find one. If you ever get a chance to post blueprints or dimensions on the laser tube that would be fantastic because I'm thinking that with such a short production run I may NEVER find an original and will probably have to have someone run up a repro tube on a lathe or something.

Right now I got those parts on my "want" list, along with a bunch of Pulse Rifle parts, so it's a matter of what I find first as to what gets done first. Just, please God, don't let me find ALL the parts at once....

There is a pic with dimensions for the laser earlier in this thread.

The NPC scope Mount is the hardest thing to find , mostly...everything else can be fabricated or found....at least from my experience...the scope , is all I have left to acquire , with a laser of course....LOL....There are several places to locate guns and parts....but unfortunately like gun sites as gunbroker.com , I cant get stuff from , because I am not enrolled with a licensed dealer to be able to bid or buy anything from them....that's where all the good stuff is !

You can buy from Gunbroker without being a FFL dealer. You just have to have a FFL who will accept firearms for you if you purchase a firearm. They'll ship it to that dealer ONLY and want a copy of his FFL. They even have a "Find a Dealer" service to help you find a dealer near you who will accept and transfer the firearm to you. Of course, you have to be legally able to own firearms and the dealer will do a background check on you first, and you'll pay him for the transfer.

But, for just the NPC mount, you could get that shipped right to you. Just register for a Gunbroker account and start looking.

Yah its been a while since I was on there...I own plenty of firearms , but never tried buying anything like that online...I usually buy behind the counter....hehe.... I have seen where it gives you a lineup of the find a dealer and it gives you a list of whose close to you with their information , and fees that they need for the background and other info...I just never dared tried to do any of it...sometimes I wish I did...but its not a necessity for me when it comes to just a prop....at least not yet....everything I ever found , was thru contacts for real gun parts , like for my Aliens pulse rifles , were thru some people and Ebay....mostly...I might try it one day, but as for now...I am still on standby and combat mode... :lol

I've been thinking about trading this or selling it along with the scope and mount and getting something else. I never shoot it as I've had trouble finding Winchester ammo for it, as it's finicky and that's the only ammo they recommend used in it, otherwise it tends to jam with other ammo.

Hi all, sorry for the delay. been super busy with work.

I posted some measurements, (all in millimeters) hope this helps. the black plastic aperture will add 1.25 mm to the overall length and the rear "bump" will add another 6mm.

the diameter is written in green , the 25.4mm is exactly an inch.


I will add some more measurements and photos to help with the placement of the aperture holes and cuts on the front portion of the laser

 

[gyoung2993]

Wow , this is outstanding....I love that scope....woooooo...she is Pretty...love your prop my friend
sincerely , Guy or known by many the Guymaster ....LOL...HAHAHA

Thanks! I assume the 35mm "bell" on the rear is a separate piece slipped on, correct? And is the 17mm piece in front thread to fit the main body?

Correct, the seam is measured 185mm at the rear, I think it is friction fitted while the front is easily threaded on.

 

[Johnnyfl]

Great thread and great prop, excellent!

 

[Trebor]

Someone on a gun forum thought the laser body looked like a Leupold FX II scope. I wonder if Laser Products might have used a readily available scope tube?

Here's one for sale. Looking at it, it's not quite right, but is close.

Here is my completed 45 longslide. I found a daisy airsoft laser sighting that fit exactly in my sight and works wonderful. It has a pressure switch that fits on the grips small wire comes out the back. Works excellent.
