Star Trek AA Enterprise Phase Pistol upgrade question

I'm trying to upgrade the light inside to a laser, trouble is I can't get the damn thing apart. Theres two screws in the cowl that come out, but the pistol won't budge. Anyone successfully take this apart? Some help would be awesome.
 
I'm upgrading mine at the moment, and this thing was built not to be taken apart, a pain in the ass! The plugs that hold the cowl to the main body are apoxy'd in there really good, you can't just pop them off, and there isent screws inside, there is a metal rod going from one end to the other. I took a drill and carefully drilled out the plugs, be very carefull not to drill the part of the cowl that will be seen, just the plugs, when those are gone I took a screwdriver and hammered the metal pin out, it's in there really good, so it will take some time to get one end poping out, then take a pair of pliers and pull it through. The plugs are useless at this point so your gonna have to get a set of snake eye screws to replace them, witch are actually what was used on the real prop so that's a plus. I still haven't figured out how to et the main bod apart without really messing the piece up, but when the cowl is off it comes apart and the emiter comes out and you can hollow it out for a laser diode. Hope that helps.
 
Thats a great link, and he's actually a member here, a really great guy, but thats for the TOS AA Phaser, not the Phase Pistol AA Phaser from Ent.
 
Hi guys, I'm new here. Did anybody find a link for the Phase Pistol disassembly? I'd be interested in seeing that myself. Also, does anybody have 1:1 blueprints for the hero phase pistol? I've been trying to find one online. Not too long ago I saw a couple of the 2002 communicator/phase pistol toys on ebay for around 30 bucks but never grabbed em! Now I'm kicking myself... But am still looking for the blueprints anyway. Maybe I'll build one. :)
