Thanks guys!

TFA scope groove

 

[Lobezno]

Yeah, there's the groove! cheers

 

[Jedifather]

Looks like Dave has "got his groove on."

Whats the estimated completion of the kits at this point?

 

[dmachinist]

I am looking at starting to ship on the 28th, but it will take a few days to ship everything, and some orders might go out before the orders with the grips, they are last because I have to clean out the machines before running the wood, I know some guys wanted them before May 4th but when I scheduled this run I didn't realize it would fall out then, production has only been going on for about 2 months and it normally takes that long for about 50 kits, this run is for 180 kits and I am not too far off, working hard to get them out,
I apologize if you guys miss the 4th

Some new reference posted in the research thread, shows two different guns.

Thanks Doc.

Those do not look like the same one Han is holding in the movie stills. Nice tho...

I am sure there are subtle differences. They weren't trying to make exact duplicates after all. Only we would notice.

What different, that you see?

Whats this:

The ones with the larger lug under the barrel (your circle) seems to be the same as the Wired version but has different weathering markings.

In the other images the rear lock lugs are missing (under the hammer) .

Wondering if they needed to use different versions to make them do different things like firing blanks/light etc... or just broken?

the mount caps look the same as the screen one, just like the ANH version,
the mount caps on the Disney display prop are too rounded,

 

[dmachinist]

Getting down to the last few parts, over 3,500 individual parts had to be made for this run!
I will definitely have to take a few days off after shipping.

 

[dmachinist]

Rear lens retainer, the lenses on the TFA scope are larger than the ANH,
the rear has a step but the front is flat across, the slots are not machined yet,

I know it's a longshot, but if anyone who managed to get in on one of these kits would be willing to sell it, please drop me a PM, I'm pretty desperate!

 

[Jedifather]

I don't think there are slots on the TFA scope.

 

[hairball]

I don't think there are slots on the TFA scope.

Yes, it is. You can clearly see it on the Blu-ray.

 

[dmachinist]

I have a couple of good pics and there is a slot across both the front and back lens retainers,
finishing up the TFA barrels, just remember finishing, camera angle, and lighting may change the way the parts look,
this is the closest I came with scaling the pics I have, filing/fitting where the barrel meets the frame might be necessary,
if this doesn't zoom you can go to my web site and use the zoom feature,

 

[Jedifather]

I've seen a couple pics where the front may have slots, but none that shows slots on the rear.

 

[Jedifather]

Bull barrel and FH look great, btw.

 

[dmachinist]

This is the pic I am using for the slot reference, there is definitely a slot on the back side but it is not showing too well on the front,
I am just assuming it would go through both sides, maybe there is only one side slotted???
