Solo Tobias Beckett's DL-44 Carbine

[naes14]

I come with a question. The rear of the AW custom solo blaster looks like it has a slot in the back of the broom handle grip. I have found some wooden stocks for the M712 and the C-96 that look like it may fit.

I though about getting a stock to see if it would clip to the broom handle and then tear down the stock and remake it in fashion of the DL-44. However, I really only need the hardware that mates to the broom handle.

Does anyone know what this is called or where to find it?

Oh no, I'm afraid I just blue myself. Was it something I said?

No, I think you are right on. Based on the pics of the prop they used that connector and a modified stock. I'm shocked nobody made a kit of the carbine add-ons. I would have gotten on that.

I was hoping to be able to dismantle the latching mechanism and replace the release lever with a piece of machined aluminum to match the prop.

It looks like they wanted a long release button to make it easier for the on screen dismantling.

Its been a while since I've tackled a prop build so maybe I should take stock of my life, get a handle on this project and just go ahead and pull the trigger. Worse case scenario my failed project becomes the butt of some jokes...

Been working on this rifle for a little while now. Not a lot of pics to draw from which isn’t the most ideal for accuracy obviously so just trying to keep it in the ballpark…

That's about as close as you can get with the available info. Love it.

I think its a little over scaled but its coming along nicely for the 1st print..

Foregrip on the original prop is definitely much more rounded.

You think so? Maybe a little bit but honestly I’m not so sure about “much more”..

Yeah if you look, it tapers more at the back of the wood.

I’ve looked. Not sure I see what u see is all. Share a pic of what ur talking about. Might help one of us.

 

[chubsANDdoggers]

Let me take the lead. Still not sure what ur seeing?

I think what he’s saying is, and I could be totally wrong, is the wooden fore-grip printed in blue plastic has flat sides on the left side and right side, where the prop fore-grip looks more tapered inward on the sides. Like, yours looks U-shaped and the prop looks more C-shaped.

But it could just be lights and shadows.

 

[chubsANDdoggers]

What ur saying is possibly a stronger radius on each of the sides? If so that is how I see it as well. The bottom is most definitely flat though. My prop as it is right now is still a WIP. It’s also a little over-scaled as it rests right now.

 

[James Kenobi 1138]

Sorry for the bad drawings but this is what I meant.

 

[chubsANDdoggers]

James Kenobi 1138 pictures are always better words so I appreciate that. I see what u mean now. Honestly though I don’t see that at all in the real prop from my humble view point. But I definitely appreciate the input.

 

[4str0m3ch]

The left side red marked bit is wider than the right side one. they are also more curved than on your model.

 

[chubsANDdoggers]

Pretty sure that’s simply light reflection as I don’t think the radius actually changes? It is most definitely a stronger radius though.
