ROTJ Stormtooper blaster greeblies

[_Lee_]

Hello all

I'm nearly finishing a ROTJ Stormtrooper blaster and am having trouble finding these parts. I think the ring on the front is rhe same as on the rear of the barrel but im having trouble sourcing them, aswell as the piece underneath the bottom of the barrel underside.

If anyone can help it's much appreciated!

Looks like the front d ring came on the MGC from factory

Looks like the rear locking mech is factory on the mgc as well…

Did your mgc come complete?

Thanks guys. The nozzle had me a bit confused too. I thought all 3 OT Stormtroopers had the same nozzles but ROTJ was flat as it wasn't an original sterling.

The flat muzzle is a MGC trait

The SW and ESB blasters are based on MK IV sterling and ROTJ based on MK V MGC Sterling. Both parts above were stock parts of the MGC sterling as Halliwax says.

Ahh, I got you now.

Looks like I'll have to hunt for a flat muzzle, locking mechanism and d rings to make mine more accurate.

Anyone know where I can find them?

Have you searched trooperbay on etsy? I got a lot of my stuff from him and blaster factory

On short: the ANH and ESB E-11 were made out of L2A3 Sterlings, while the ROTJ was made out of a MGC replica of a Canadian C1 Sterling. Below are my genuine conversions, you can spot the differences:

If anyone is looking for the RO-72 greeblie for their build, shoot me a PM (I believe I still have one leftover from my Skiff Guard Blaster project…)
