Hello everybody, today I need some help with getting some parts for the Han Solo Hero DL-44 I am making. Right now I am in the stage of collecting all the parts. The parts I need are : the flash hider, the scope, the greeblies and the heatsink, the the scope mount and the little tube thingy that is attached behind the flash hider.
Thanks in advance, Gylfi3
 
It depends on which version you are going to make. If you want to make the ANH hero version, then all the parts are available here:
Dark Energy Creations - Still Available
This is the newest and cheapest run yet, but these will give you everything that you need to convert either a Denix or an MGC to the DL-44. And BTW, I also have a thread in which I MIGHT be selling/trading an MGC Mauser that I'm getting, but for all intents and purposes, a Denix, with a LOT of mods, can be fine too. Hope this helps!
 
How much (IF you do) would you be selling the MGC Mauser for?

Well, I've yet to receive it yet, but in all honesty, I was thinking about trying to trade it. I may change my mind once I get it, but I'm not certain. I need to think about it after I get it for real, not just seeing the seller's pics. For more details, see my thread.
 
You will have to sand down the firing pin that protrudes from the slide, sand down the Denix and Spain logo that is on the left side of the gun's lower receiver, and those are just the simple things. Additional things that you can do are reshaping the trigger and hammer, as both are bulbous and oversized, sand down the ENTIRE gun, as the casting on it is kinda crappy (Birchwood Casey Aluminum Black I've heard, is good to refinish sanded areas on a Denix), buy real Mauser wood grips (Which are really freackin' EXPENSIVE!) and reshape the grip frame to accept the grips, as the grip frame is vastly oversized, scribe in the magazine release details on the bottom of the gun, and even add a faux button release. You can also grind down the sight sphincter, as that's not on any MGC or real Mauser. From there, It's just a matter of cutting down the barrel, adding the needed parts, and boom, one DL-44!

Here's New Page 1 for you, which details the main conversion detail, the grips. Of course, with an MGC, you can skip most of the above mentioned work, but they are really rare, and REALLY expensive nowadays. I'm working on a Denix in my spare time as well, though most people don't bother going as far as I detailed above. That's all up to you.
 
Yeah, the Denix can come with wooden grips, but I would also recommend re-spacing the gap between the trigger guard and the grips as the Denix is VERY narrow there, much narrower than the MGC or even Denix, and is uncomfortable to hold. A round file to the trigger guard where your middle finger would sit makes it a great deal easier to hold and maneuver.
 
Okay thanks. If I could I'd love to get an MGC but it's kinda out of my budget and they are hard to get.
 
Yeah, even though I just got my first MGC, I spent about 9 1/2 months scouring the internet looking for one, and my persistence paid off. I broke the bank on it thought, so they are expensive. The only way that I'd ever part with it (probably) is if somebody offered to trade the Master Replicas Han Solo ANH Elite Edition DL-44 for it, as I'd love to customize/weather the MR DL-44. Still, the Denix, while it does need a lot of work, can be made not half bad.
