NICE
That´s definately molded from a MR ANH blaster..a straight 1:1 "recast"
Funny that they still kept the wrong, inaccurate, scratchbuilt (by ME!) mag-bottom plate :lol Back the days Steve D. douldn´t find the correct magazin to base his masters on, so he took my scratchbuilt mag-plate for reference. Compare my resin cast with the MR and/ or Rubies and you´ll see what I am referring to. :cool

Funny but not unexpected. I think most people here did not know that about the plate. I would have keeled over if you told me... "Rubies did their research and corrected a mistake in the design."
btw: What exactly is the ribbed section on the barrel? The part between the sight and the tomtit part. People used to say it was wrapped cord. Is that still the thought or is there new info?
@OdiWan72, @Country Paul -- I'm going to order one of these. If you like, I'd be happy to order three and send one to each of you, at or a bit below cost (I'll give you the total and you can tell me how much you're comfortable spending -- any difference I'll gladly absorb as a gift to make sure you can get them). I've never had a problem stepping up to circumvent ridiculous shipping costs.
Every so often, yeah, Rubie's nails it. I'm still somewhat amazed at how perfect their Supreme Edition Royal Guard helmet is... three years after I originally bought it! *chuckle*
@OdiWan72... Any recommended reference for an accurate mag plate?

Looks like Fett's rifle will be new this year from Rubies as well:

Thank you very much for this offer ...I´d take TWO in this case, if you don´t mind
I should still have the mold for the magplate (or could make one easily), but you´d also need the "catch"...
Maybe I should simply mold BOTH parts again and offer casts to accurize peoples Rubies blasters!?

Yer killin' me, Smalls... :lol *orders a fifth one*
So I'm seeing these first showing up in stocks in summer of 2013, which explains why it's somewhat scarce now, but not how I managed to miss it for two damn years!
