I'm looking to scratch build the DH-17 blaster pistol, but I could use some help. I found the parts list on TK560.com, but the problem is that the parts are not very descriptive. Yesterday, while at Home Depot, I asked an employee about a Package of 25 3/4" Flat type Drive Straps(which serves as the trigger on the DH-17), and the employee looked at me like I had two heads. I tried Googling for it, no luck. Later at home I went onto the Home Depot site and found what I was looking for there, the name of the item being 3/4" Conduit Drive Straps.
I need some help finding the other parts, which I'll list below, as they were listed on the TK560 website and where they were purchased from:
Lowes:
1 1/4" Endcap: $0.55(what exactly is this used for in the build?)
Package of 4 1/4" EMT Straps(Trigger Guard): $0.78
Home Depot:
#4 Size CND Hangar: $0.99
What I need essentially are either hi-res images of the parts or the actual names of the parts, if any. Also, I would really appreciate it if someone could point me in the direction of a template for the pistol grip and the ejection ports on the gun. Also, feel free to list any parts I may have missed, because I get the feeling I am missing some thing. I did not list either the dowels or the PVC pipe, as I already have all of that.
I also did not list the scope parts because I've found a cheaper alternative to the copper reducers because those are pretty expensive. I would like suggestions on alternatives for the scope tip. The one sourced in the parts list came from a can of hair spray, and I'd rather not buy a can of hair spray just for a clear plastic cap.
