Anyone Upgraded Paragon Blade Runner Blaster With Parts for Tomenosuke?

[chanson8118]

I have read some posts here on RPF stating that the Paragon Blade Runner Elite Blaster is effectively the same as the previous Tomenosuke release, which makes sense considering these replicas are made by Tomen.

Before I purchase a Paragon blaster however, I would like to know if anyone has upgraded their own Elite with a steel cylinder and barrel specifically designed for the Tomenosuke. I reached out to Teddz, and while he believes some of the people who have purchased his parts have likely installed them in Paragons, he wasn't certain. While I would assume these parts would fit, knowing for sure that some small change wasn't made that would cause a problem would be ideal.

I know at least one RPF member has installed a real Bulldog cylinder in their Paragon with some modifications, but I'm looking for something a bit more plug and play.

I noticed no one had replied, I have read here and see Paragon video's stating that ParagonFX's Elite Blaster and the Tomenosuke blaster are manufactured with the same tooling. I have watched a couple unboxing videos and the ParagonFX blaster looks to be the same. Also, I have a few of Tedz cylinders and barrels...and they look like they will fit. Another example of some shots of the ParagonFX blaster are on this thread...https://www.therpf.com/forums/threads/paragon-fx-elite-blaster-cylinder-replacement.357233/
Granted this is a Charter arms cylinder...but again matches Tedz/Tomenosuke's unique cylinder and barrel features. Hope this helps you out.

Thanks for the info. While it would be nice to know for sure, I may just have to take the chance and give it a try.

Hi. I bought a barrel and a cylinder from Teddz. I just got the Paragon FX Elite today and installed the cylinder. It fits and functions perfectly. I haven't done the barrel yet since it requires a bit more work, but looking at it next to the blaster the diameter is the exact same and I have no doubts it will fit. Unfortunately I think Teddz has run out of the parts now.

Thank you for taking the time to reply to my post! As you mention, it does seem like Teddz is taking a break from manufacturing these parts, but I'll keep an eye out to see if he makes more in the future.
