I keep going back and forth on if I should build an A-180....I want to try to limit myself.....this isn't helping....
Barrel end? On the A-180? It's part of the kit, I'm not sure what you're asking, I'm sorry.
I'm guessing you've just had your brain in lightsaber world for so long, these things kinda sneak by..
Also, been working on my first metal E-11!! It's almost done, really. Some things will change, the mag is too long, the cylinders will be redone, etc, etc.
I do need reference and advice about the IC on the scope, I know mine is wrong, that's just a placeholder there.
This is a mixture of Field Marshal parts and real Sterling parts.

Great looking E11, Dann! I’m really digging the paint job, nicely done!
I just recently had my original Sterling converted into a stunt E11 and would love to add the correct IC on mine as well.
So I’m also interested in any information on these...
Also, are we actually sure it was a IC or is it just a assumption as I always thought...

Pretty sure it's a 14-pin IC, I just cannot recall whether it's glued on with it's little socket intact, as well. I'm guessing most the experts are over on White Armor.
But yeah, the IC is on other props, like the DH-17, so there you go.
JM419, the folding stock is actually one of the real Sterling parts, you're correct. Still, you never know when you may need another! Hehe.
Thanks y'all, this one has been on my short-list since I was but a wee lad!!

Whoaaa? Calling OdiWan72 ... your expertise is needed, mate!
What am I thinking?! Of course, the blaster Master!!
Excellent build.
As a matter of fact, I recently finished my Jyn blaster as well and am on the home stretch with my post–production E11 too
Speaking of the post–production E11, that Luke is sporting in the ANH promo pictures, it does not have any chip at all afaik. And the two wires coming out of the counter are red and green, not black. In addition to that the mag should be significantly shorter and feature the „sculpted“ magplate and the narrow scope rail should attach to the receiver, not the rear sight
BUT to be honest, I am torn about what features to add to my build(s) as well.
Unless you want to build a specific, documented incarnation of this blaster, add all features and details YOU like!!!
Reg the chips, there are scopes with just the chips, while others seem to be in their sockets, some are attached to the rear, some to the front of the scope. Like I said...open up your mind about your approach and go from there
Keep up the great work!!!
Markus! Yeah, this isn't supposed to be any particular E-11, just a version with all the features I like, personally.
I know the mag is too long, I left it long intentionally for the first cut, to make sure I could form it correctly to accept the floor plate. I will be shortening it!
As for the wires, that whole area is kinda "in progress", as well as the power cylinders. I will be making a base for them from sheet aluminum (currently what you see is a printed base), and I machined the "Metalmites" from some steel I had lying around. Unfortunately, I think they're too small, and I was kinda flying by the seat of my pants with the entire assembly. The cylinders themselves are 3/8", or around 9.5mm, so they're undersized as well. I don't have any 10mm tubing lying around, so the 3/8" was "close enough" for now.
The wires are actually something like 18ga copper wire, and they were another "quick solution" for that area. I did actually solder them to the Hengstler terminals, though, which was fun!

As always...great job.
Don´t forget to add the bajonet lug
...that empty hole on the receiver is irritating me *lol-*Similar threads
