Part Identify

[Clutch]

Quick. What is this part and where can I get another? It looks like it is copper.

Looks like what's called a reducer. Changes one size pipe to a smaller size.

Since it's copper it's probably a plumbing fixture.

 

[Darth Mule]

Yep. You can find them in the copper pipe fittings at pretty much any hardware store. just take it and match it up.

Coolness. Thanks.

One more thing. Can anyone tell me if this a picture of the actual prop or a replica?

That's the actual prop.
Although that's not a plumbing reducer on the prop. Fans use those as cheap alternatives.

How sure are you that it is No. 1 Mark 3? I'm curious because I have two different Enfields and one looks more like the pic than the other.

I also thought the hose connected in front, not the rear like the one above?

Hose connects to the rear.

May have been a cut-down SMLE Mk.3, tho a few months ago there was a posting of a SMLE grenade launcher just as in the photo- not chopped down, but actual production rifle by the UK during WWII for firing out of a tank.

It's on this board somewhere...

Then which one is right? That one or this one? Looks like there is a hole in the stock on the one below, but the hose goes to the front of the gun. I'm assuming this is the same gun.

attached to the rear is correct, hose goes into the stock.

In that last pic I think the gun is just positioned with the gun lying on the hose.

Clutch, I have a Jawa blaster that we can compare. We are back in Fieldstone Farms right up the street from you. I also want to see your new Jawa score that Hook told me about.

Thanks Markus. I don't know how I missed those first two threads. I looked at just about every thread that had the word 'Jawa' in it. Or so I thought.

I was confused because the parts of star wars site says this:

"Under the rifle there is a black cord or hose attached to the metal loop located just in front of the ammunition clip. This attaches to a metal canister, probably brass and/or copper, that may be an antique gun powder flask or oil container. There is a thin leather strap attached to the side of this container that was slung over the Jawa's shoulder."

I snagged the one DCB had up for sale. I'll be selling the spare Enfield Ion gun I have shortly if Hook doesn't want it.
