Limited Run Han Solo ROTJ Blaster Active Project

[Boba Debt]

I guess I will go with glass as well.

Adding a little here and a little there is going to add up in the end. Can we keep a running tally of the extra costs that we as a group are adding onto this project in the first post of the thread?

I feel confident that if I have at least 40 confirmed parts sets they will cost less then $250 for the machined parts set not including the milled details on the left side and the scope ring

Glass get my vote

I do not doubt you my friend! What about keeping a running tally, or estimated tally, of the stuff that is not machined?

As far as I can figure that would be the following:

• Glass Lens- about $5
• Scope Tip Mesh? Insert Unknow but can't cost more then couple dollars. I think I bought resin inserts from Vince for $1 each last time
• Scope Ring - Unknown. I was able to get off the shelf rings for about $3 each st time
• Milled Details - Completely unknown at this time.

I try to keep the first post updated with the newest info.

I'm about to get finalized pricing for this kit and lock the numbers in so if you want to join this project time is running out.

 

[Boba Debt]

I spoke with my machinist today and should have solid costs in a day or so.


I decided to get the back half of the scope threaded to the front half to make assembly simply and to open the kit up to the possibility of adding electronics to it.






This run is limited to 40 parts sets and they are only a few slots left so now is the time to get on the list if you haven't yet




I also ordered 40 29mm glass domed watch crystals.

I'm going to work on the scope rings next, if anyone has any leads please post them.


Morgan mentioned that NC Star Scope rings are close and I have to agree.

Here is a link to an ebay auction:

Looks fine to me... If you guys think it works, I'm sure its all good.

 

[Curmudgeon]

Those scope rings look great to me

 

[Shadowknight]

It looks good to me.

 

[Husker75]

Are these fairly accurate? Do you have a shot of the original scope rings? I'm sure if you posted them they are very close, but was just curious if we will need to tweak them at all?

 

[Boba Debt]

Here you go

The thumb screw is a little off because it is missing the groove but other then that it looks right

Is it possible to get a new thumbscrew machined?

 

[Boba Debt]

This came up the last time and it would cost about $20 to make one

It was going to cost $5 to have the groove machined into the new thumbscrew.

 

[extreme_too2]

The scope ring looks good to me.

As far as the thumbscrew goes, I'm okay with the factory one.

 

[Shadowknight]

That's an expensive little screw. LOL

 

[Boba Debt]

That's an expensive little screw. LOL

For as small as it is it's a pretty complicated to machine

I'm sure these are cast

I'm interested in joining the group and obtaining the parts. Email sent.
