Re: Rogue One Felicity Jones gun - ideas
Here is an area I suspect I am deviating from the original design, but I am ok with that because:
1) It is completely internal (can't be seen from the outside) and
2) I believe this is a stronger/more durable method.
On the original prop, I suspect that the takedown lever was simply cut in half, the rifle guide inserted into the notch cut into the receiver, and a 14-16mm M3 screw put in from the right side to crush it all together. Instead of doing that, I just cut down the locked notch in the take-down lever so it doesn't interfere with the rifle guide, but still functions perfectly. I don't actually need a screw on the right side of the take-down lever at all, but will add one simply for aesthetic accuracy.
