I wanted to put this out there to discuss, OR just ask if it's already known.
This started with this thread I made that's still ongoing: Fabricated ROTJ Scopes - chatting with people recently I realized there were only a couple blasters that may have had real scopes installed, but SO MANY of these plastic caps were used. it's like the whole front was found parts and they just lathed the back halves
So, speaking of this, were a lot of ROTJ props made with Acetal (or Delrin)? Because some of the gun parts seem to be on their own with this, which made me wonder..
Who made them?
Was it the shops dressing the lightsabers and costumes and hand props? This would mean to me they made the MGCs and sent some extras over to stembridge to make the Han live-fire
Or, were they made by Bapty, maybe in charge of making the "fake guns" too and they were the ones machining all that acetal. Maybe they made the fake pistons and the flash hiders, or maybe the parts that were glued in place were made by model shops?
I have zero info on which shops did what, other than the costume books and what I've discussed with people here over the years. Thanks!
