Airsoft Mauser (DL-44) questions

[Propdude113]

Hey everyone
I just joined the forum today and I'm pumped to be here! I've been visiting this site for a couple years now and I figure it was time to embrace my obsession with Star Wars props . I've owned a lot of replicas over the years but now it's time to build something of my own. I've decided to make one of my first projects Han's DL-44 blaster. While I haven't decided which version I'm going to do I need to take care of the first step. Buying a replica mauser. Since I'm on a budget I've decided on airsoft. My plan is to wire bright LEDs into the barrel for a simulated fire effect. My question to everyone; is there a decent full metal spring airsoft Mauser out there that would make a decent base ?

Have you searched this question here yet? I have found some on Ebay but from a different model of the Muaser c96 with a button-ish things above the handle on the left side. Here it is

Fun Facts about C96: The Mauser C96 (Construktion 96) was originally produced by German arms manufacturer Mauser from 1896 to 1937. We also all know the C96 was a huge inspiration for Han Solo's famous blaster in the Star Wars films!

Heres a forum that the gun that you are trying yo find is on if you don't like what you saw on the Ebay sale website.

Good luck!

There aren’t any “inexpensive” metal 1:1 scale airsoft Mausers around...but I use the one made by “Double Eagle”. There IS an inexpensive metal one made by “UK Arms”, but it’s 4/5 scale and it’s kind of small.

I made all of my pieces from plastic except the thumbnuts and screws, and I actually think having a plastic base made everything feel a little more cohesive compared to slapping a ton of plastic on a metal base. It’s not 100% accurate, but that’s because I wanted a more streamlined variation.

I can almost guarantee that it will not be 1:1 .... i got one similar on Amazon after multiple assurances it was 1:1.... not at all maybe 50% scale... metal but small... beware!!

Nothing is one to one scale exactly, Denix, or MGC as you probably know. Another thing is that their are so many different versions of them in terms of size shape etc so really if you want to build an exact replica that can shoot it will be a very difficult task to do because in every scene pretty much they are all different. Heres where you can see the differences where when etc
