7/16 Update
I have enough info to post a good update so here it is.
DENIX MAUSERS – I ordered all of the Denix Mausers for this project and so far I have received 38 of them. I still have 26 on back order and I don’t expect them to ship until the middle of August. This isn’t a problem because the Mausers will be the last thing that get’s machined
MACHINED PARTS – I ordered all of the flash hiders, scope bracket disks and scope bracket spacers. I can not order the scope bracket until we know the hole spacing for the brass scopes. once we confirm that we can get 2” hole spacing I will order the scope brackets.
The shop had 2 solid brass scope from the current run and they also have my real scope and an machined brass scope from my original run in 2004. In the next couple weeks they are going to figure out the most cost effective way to do the initial machining and the deluxe machining.
They will also get me pricing for the scope lens rings, light sockets and mounting bolts.
CAST BRASS PARTS – Think Jedi is working diligently on these and has a projected completion date of late September / early October. Once he is done it will take my shop at least a month to cycle these parts through their machining process.
I know this seems like a long time but this is a complicated project with a lot of moving parts. Things have to progress in a certain order or very costly mistakes can be made.
I hope everyone is okay with this projected schedule.
Thanks

Please Reply to this post with an email to bobadebt@ec.rr.com
I NEED ALL OF THE FOLLOWING INFO
When ordering parts please do not just say you want a Bespin or Hoth Kit, there are variations in bot kits and I will have to get clarification to create your invoice
I know this has been a long road but our work is about to pay off and I’m looking forward to completing this project and hanging my NEW ESB Blaster on my wall.
Thanks

FAQ
Q: Will there be any tips and tricks for finishing this off ourselves? (
A: Yes, there are several threads in my history that explain the finishing process and I always provide a tutorial on how to build a specific blaster in the original thread.
If you still feel you can not finish your blaster, myself and other members of the this group offer finishing services.
