Update:

Prototype parts are finished. Will start assembling over the next 2 weeks. Please keep in mind that I will need to have a final count for those who are still committed. Will keep you posted regarding a cut off date but I am thinking end of March. Currently, we have 5. In the meanwhile, here are some photos of the parts. I will post some videos shortly.

Started disassembling the main receiver so I could attach the extended barrel. Also cut off the top handle grip with my bandsaw. The final photo illustrating how the parts look in relationship to each other. I need to clean up the weld joint inside of the extended barrel so the front barrel can seat properly within.

I’m in for a finished one if the bulk rate is accomplished. If not, depending on when funds are needed, I may be able to make the single, but can’t fully commit.

I have not… yet. It is on my radar to begin work on an A280-CFE which is very similar to the A300 but send me a pm. This thread is only for the Endor A280 which is coming to a close.

I'm in. Craig Gottlieb.

So sorry man! Thought this was the convertible rifle. Can you remove me from this list? I'll be in for the convertible one for sure.

Updated photo and reminder that next Friday will be the final opportunity to be included in this run. This is a final call as I will not be returning to this build. Once I have mine added to my collection there will be no need for me to revisit this. So this is it.

And please, to avoid confusion, please, did I say please no more comments about any other variants. This is for the Return of the Jedi Rebel AR as seen being held by the Rebels on Endor and as outline in the thread title. If and I repeat, “If” I do any other future runs for any other type of prop, I will create a new thread.

Would it be possible to just get the T-stock on its own?
Cheers

Great question. I should have clariified that the individual parts can be ordered separately. Can you please clarify what you mean by T stock?

The buffer tube can be purchased directly from e-vike.

The stock plate and stock shroud designed from the jackal air rifle parts are machined separately creating the entire stock. The screws can be picked up at your local hardware store. If you only desire the tube it can be picked up here:

S&T 6-Position Buffer Tube for M4 / M16 Series Airsoft GBB Rifles (Color: Black)

Shop Compatibility: For G&P, King Arms, JG, Matrix and other compatible M4 / M16 Series Airsoft GBB Rifles Length: 183mm Material: Aluminum Package Includes: Stock Tube, Stock Tube Ring / Castle Nut Manufacturer: S&T... , Accessories & Parts, Gas Gun Parts, Gas Rifle Buffer Tubes & Parts

• Air Rifle - Slim body (possibly), slim magazine (possibly), no winding wheel under magazine, slim grip (possibly).

• AEG - Wide body, wide magazine, winding wheel under magazine, wide grip, commercial stock tube that installs with internal screw.

• GBB - Slim body, slim magazine, no winding wheel under magazine, slim grip, mil-spec stock tube that installs with external threading.

Thanks for your input Retroneon. I am sure this will be very helpful for those interested in building one in the future. The run is officially closed at this point and all parts have been ordered as of April 1rst.

Personally, I have chosen to use the AEG by Double Bell and can confirm all parts that are made for this project are compatible with that model. The main reason for this decision was 1. This model does not have the forward assist that is so prevalent on other replicas. The forward assist is not visible on any screen accurate A280's. 2. Price Point. Considering the cost of the other metal parts needed to be machined, $200 was a good price to use for the base of this project.

For those of you who ordered, Airsofts have arrived and I have started with the modifications to get a jump start. Parts kits are expected to be completed this week.

 

[dkraude]

Parts are finished and assembly has begun over the past 2 weekends. Making progress

 

[dkraude]

I have one last kit available if anyone is interested. I am attempting to clean out the workshop so make me a reasonable offer and the kit is yours.
