I actually built an ESB Muppet blaster on a Lytle cast aluminum mauser instead of resin.
The ESB stunt blasters, if y'all remember, use the ANH Hero as a base gun. I cut and installed my own Bull Barrel out of 7/8" thick walled aluminum tube. I cut the bevels with a rough flat metal file and a dremel sanding drum.
In order to install it, I STILL had to remove material, even though Lytle's are casts of real mausers.
Believe it or not, I used a dremel cutting disc to make clean cuts and mark my edges, and then brought the cutting disc sideways barrel tip to body to remove material in front of my cuts. Metal files took care of the rest.
