Limited Run DL44 TFA Blaster Kit

[hairball]

I have to say, the M19 scopes thatdmachinist makes are spot on. I have a original one and compared them, and they are Very Accurate.

TFA flash hider and barrel

Should there be a ironsight in that barrel?

 

[dmachinist]

Not up to that yet, trying to get all the major parts done first.

 

[dmachinist]

I know that in the description for the TFA kits I said there would be brass ends,
but looking at the pics we have where the paint is worn off it looks shiny like aluminum.
I can make the lens retainers brass but to keep it screen accurate they should really be aluminum.

 

[Lobezno]

Hummm, tricky question... I personally like it more in brass, but that's A New Hope. And mine will be painted as new, so, if I had a voice, I would take aluminum

 

[Rook 3]

"I'd" prefer the brass myself, but that's just me.

 

[hikarub]

I'm okay either way, though I think the brass looks a lot better. But if screen-accurate is what we're going for than I'll take the aluminium too.

LOL, I guess I am rather undecided. Whichever is fine. :lol

TFA mounts looking good

I did some practice adding the side pockets on a cheap plastic spring gun. Didn't get it perfect, but I like how it looks:

Does the kit come with the gun?

No, it does not come with the gun.

Ugh. I hate to do this, but if anyone wants to take my spot on this run send me a PM. I have a wedding to pay for, unfortunately. I also have the HFC, and short mag to go with it. Looking to let it all go at once. I apologize if this isn't okay. Let me know and I'll take it down.

Sorry to hear that, I don't think it is a problem, I'm sure you will be getting a lot of interest,
I am getting requests every day for more kits so there will probably be another run in a few months.

Scopes!!!
The TFA version has a groove at the small end, I will post a pic when it is done.
About 1 pound of material gets machined off of the blanks, they end up at almost 3 ounces.

So harsh to be reminded that I've missed this run.
Looks pretty cool.

Scopes look great, I've been playing around on a lathe and you confirmed my worst fears that its takes ALOT of machining to make a scope like this

Very nice.

 

[dmachinist]

Yes it is a lot of work, I have a pretty good set up for them though, here is a peek at how I do them:

It still takes about 17 minutes each.

Looking great, Dave! They're coming along very nicely. :thumbsup
