Beautiful work, Carson. I'd very much like to get my hands on something like that.

There does not seem to be any T Track or Antenna in the top shot. If it was T track/antenna and were there at the time of the shoot, you'd be able to see it in that shot for sure. Nice observation Carson.
Very confusing about that sight area.
Some pics show something some don't. Some production and some post.
That bottom pic is a hard nut to crack. wish it was cleaner. Could be a reflection but there is also a break in it so it looks solid.
There's got to be a clean shot of that area somewhere. Some one is holding out!
Any help will be....helpful.
Here's some new news for the Barrel Sight/Greeblie that may aid in explaining it's true shape. The second photo is just my first guess of it's shape considering the low amount of reference available for it.

Re: ANH Hero DL-44 Discussion
We may never know for sure, but the antenna seems likely to be present in that photo.
Based on the only good top photo we have access to, the Flash Hider is twisted to the right a little, and also looks to be in this other photo too.
It looks possible that the antenna is hidden just behind the Scope. What does everyone else think?

Re: ANH Hero DL-44 Discussion
I agree that the antenna is and always probably will be the hardest detail to make out, next up being the grill.
It's just so hard to tell with anything more than a best guess. I'd say that it could be hidden behind the scope. There isn't much height to it and if the flat section of the t-track had been taken off, there's even less height.
Just want to say that you guys have done nothing short of a mountains worth of research and effort in completely dissecting this weapon. It really shows in the results of the renderings of the parts thus far. Kudos to all involved in making what will be the ultmate Han ANH!

I think it´s hidden - but i wouldn´t bet a lot of money on that.

Hidden.
MR already checked this photo when researching their replica matching the 3D model to this angle.
It looks weird because there is only one "antenna" on the left side. From this side of the gun at this angle you don't see anything.

My ANH Blu won't play in my PC. I'm still trying to figure out the problem! ARGH!!

Re: ANH Hero DL-44 Discussion
Hi Chris,
Thanks for the input. I guess it just "seems" that the top of the T track, if still there in that shot, should be seen at the top edge of the FH because the center line can be seen. If the T Track was there at the height it is shown in the other images, you'd be able to see it in that shot... I think. Maybe it's a bit off or the entire piece was knocked off by the time that PR shot was taken.
It's a shame there isn't a better image of that LEFT side post production shot, the one with the green matrix background. Would tell a lot!
Also a better top shot of the one you posted as proof.
Is more of that shot available, like the mount area?
I think we have it nailed but more proof is always nice.
Again, Carson did a great job! All the parts match the screen pics exactly and now include all the newly discovered details!
can't wait to make some!

Re: ANH Hero DL-44 Discussion
Having spent the better part of two years constructing a live-ammo-firing variant of the firearm used in the “Man From U.N.C.L.E. TV series, I’ve decided to set my sights to the stars and try my hand at constructing a live-ammo variant of the Han Solo DL-44 ANH Blaster.
With the purchase of a less-than-pristine Mauser C96 pistol accomplished, and guidance from an extremely friendly and knowledgeable forum member (ED-209), I began searching for the appropriate parts. So far, I’ve managed to successfully procure samples of the flash hider, grill and optics cradle/mount (even one of the original "Hensoldt & Wetzlar Ziel Dialyth 3x" scopes) all of which will be reproduced by my gunsmith from aluminum and/or steel.
While things are coming together from a components standpoint, I’m lacking two small albeit key components of information. So, I thought it best to appeal to theRPF forum members for guidance:
1) I need to know the DL-44’s overall length (the distance from the rear of the pistol grip to the end of the flash hider’s muzzle). That way, not only will my DL-44 be the exact size, should I decide to buy one of the replica holsters, I won’t have to be concerned with the barrel being too long and protruding from the holster.
2) In addition, I also need to know the distance between the end of the DL-44’s breech to where the flash hider mounts to the barrel. (In other words, the exposed potion many forum members have referred to in this discussion as being a bull barrel or untapered.) This measurement will tell me exactly where to cut my barrel in order to mount the flash hider. I’ve seen a photo with a measurement of 1.2 inches, but that seems too short.
Hopefully those of you who any of the variety of replicas, such as the Han Solo EliteEdition blaster, by Master Replicas can offer some insight

Re: ANH Hero DL-44 Discussion
Thanks everyone!
samcolt45, sounds like that's gonna be one cool blaster! Here's the measurements I get, hope they help. :thumbsup
From edge of breech/chamber opening to rear of Flash Hider = 1.55"
From rear of grip to Flash Hider muzzle = 11.3"

Close to mine (43mm/293mm) - but to be honest, i´m not completly sure if it couldn´t be a few mm more.
