It's come up several times over the last couple years.

The last thread was in April:
http://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=23781

Unfortunately the original two threads seem to be gone now.
Too bad they weren't archived (at least not that I could find).

Short explanation - The blaster appears to be the ANH Hero rebuilt by Bapty as a blank firing gun used in ROTJ during filming in the UK. The original ANH mount seems to be there as well as the bull barrel, the Hensoldt is backwards. New flash hider and barrel extension obviously.

Thanks for the info, this doesnt seem to be a popular fan prop as i havent seen it replicated by anyone.

Would this have a name 'like jedi bunker blaster' or anything?

There's another ROTJ blaster commonly referred to as the Bunker version (non-firing MGC) so that could get confusing.
It should have a name though.

So far we don't have enough info to make an accurate replica of it.
The pic you posted is best one so far.

I ordered a copy from Official Pix:

(Note the original photo is slightly out of focus. The Official Pix one is an awesome print, but not any sharper).

We could call it something as simple as the long version. An accurate description imo

[micdavis]

How about the "let's **** with the fanboys version."
