I would be happy to get a run going using my 3D model, however now that the suppressor has been finally identified (great work, Darth Lars, Amish, Drew, Macklin, Chris, and all those who contributed, even if they wer slow to be deprogrammed from their belief in the fire extinguisher theory - the debate this generated fueled the fires that were lit under our collective asses to finally nail this - you're all my newest heroes.
), it behooves us to get our hands on one in good condition so that the geometry and dimensions can be accurately reproduced. If the owner of the one below or Darth Lars' new source can be persuaded to sell or loan his out to me so I can reverse-engineer it using my mechanical measuring instruments, I'd make it my mission in life to get it right down to 0.001".
Better yet, let's try and track down the company that manufactured the suppressor, if it still exists, and see if any blueprints survived.

YES, we are all history/living history buffs...and we want to add this piece to our collection. To avoid the point of sale screw up---Repeat this slowly with conviction: Star Wars does not exist. Star Wars is for geeks. I do not like Star Wars. I love WWII memoribilia.

Great find guys. It'll be interesting ,when someone scores one of these, to see just how close all the various replica versions were to the real thing. I know I spent weeks looking at reference pictures when I made mine, as did Dave and others. Yet, we all ended up enterpreting at least a few things differently.

The manufacturer would have been Mauser...

That is the guy I have been in contact with who had the slightly inaccurate ones I posted pics of.
Another member who is known to be very reliable will make a run of accurate flash hiders and that member is already in contact with this collector.
I hope this guy does not get flooded with emails from RPF:ers now. :lol

I'd suggest editing out the link to the original post and subsequent quoted replies.
That would at least cut down the possibility of too many people contacting the guy.
Enough qualified RPFers are already on it and have established communication with him.
