Limited Run Jawa blaster kit (the one NOT made from an Enfield)

Thanks for the kind wishes...having back problems for many years now, but learned to live with them.
It´s just that the pain went up to a level currently, I can barely handle

And yes, these kits should be available for a while, even if I know of at least two other prop-builders working on a resin kit... not as accurate as mine from what I can tell so far ;)
 
Awesome kit wish I did not have to let it go!

Happy that you like the kit :)

Sand the back of the venturi flat, drill a hole (forstner bit) and insert the coupling. You´ll find a recess in the "ring" around the back of the venturi...drill a hole, straight into the coupling, add threading and secure it all with a screw. Check this out:

Received my kit and going to start working on it this weekend. Thanks Markus. Absolutely wonderful craftsmanship.

Regarding the build itself. Is there a need to attach the back part of the coupling to the handle/stock or will it just rest on the top freely?

Will update progress photos here if that is ok?
 
This is the location I am referring to. I do not see a way to secure it other than maybe some glue. Or is it even needed once the receiver is threaded into the Venturi? Seems like there would be a lot of pressure on the screw that attaches the Venturi to the arm assembly. How did any of you other builders secure it? Thanks guys.

Hey Drew

I drilled a hole all the way through the grip section, starting IN between the trigger frame, extending all the way to the top, where the coupling sits on. You´ll see the plugged holes in my cast and can use these for reference. Once you drilled the hole, it´s just a matter of drilling the mating hole in the coupling and tapping it for the screw. It´s nice and secure on my build!
 
Here is a status update of my progress. Just need to attached the greebie and will be ready for paint. Is this the right orientation of the greebie?
