Got mine today and just had to spend my day making it display ready. Now when a BH and chassis setup come out this thing will be all done. Thumbs up Roman.
Was coming here to post a question and found your great pics! :eek
I'll post for group conversation anyways... I've already tried to research this and I think I got the different versions down.
ANH = Silver Bars & 7 Grips. Clamp Off-center from ports
ESB = Black Bars & 6 Grips. Clamp Centered with ports
There also seems to be an ANH V2 with Black Bars.
Please chime in if I'm wrong on the above.

Roman, are you familiar with Seth's guide? I certainly hope so. https://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=271961

Got mine last Friday to make ANH with silver side bars. I decided to have a go at removing the angles and sanded down the trapezoids no issue using disc sander, some fine grit sand paper and finish with polishing wheel. Thanks again Romans for another beautiful piece. Rush the T-tracks a little but they are easy enough to fix at a later date.

Yes they were. It would seem that they were silver color then plated in a brassy metal then chromed because grinding off the ends revealed the silver color as in my pics but where I sanded them to be worn looking the corners have a slight brass/bronze color. Like on the clamp lever. Overall worked well and I think looks good. No swapping parts required just take time to get them ground square.
Hey Guys,
I'm just finishing up April 2017 orders today. This is the last order "heavy" month from the pre-orders.
So I should be able to be completely caught up by this coming weekend. Thank you for your patience.

Well, got both of my MPPs. Well worth the wait. I was pleasantly surprised with the weight compared to my Heilands.

Thanks Roman.
Still need a wire set and bubble strip. They’ll be done soon enough

Good to know. I sanded the ends of my TCSS ones a bit to try smoothing out the machine marks and it started turning copper. Im not sure if that goes all the way through though or if its just a thin layer.

When plating something a thin layer of copper or brass is used. At least as it was explained to me years ago by company chrome plating some of my items. Should be a very thin layer.

If you’re talking about the lever for the ESB clamp. I used a wide standard (flat) screwdriver. I put it underneath the clamp level a rotated to spread the lever apart. Reused the pin (instead of nail) for the level to hold it all in place.

Mine showed up today. Super impressed with it. I made a video where I compare it to my Vader (Heiland) lightsabers.

The pin on mine just fell out after tightening enough times on the clamp, it must have just loosened up.
