It's perfect as is. If I had funds I would buy it from you.

Your like a hot woman who can't accept the fact that she is perfect, and I am the guy at the door yelling, "you're perfect. let's go!"

It's actually a vintage flash cell...i'ver never seen one before in my life...it perfectly houses the heiland flash cell and has a retaining mechanism as you can see on the side of the revolver

Yes, a flash pistol grip...i couldn't believe it when i found it...i can't even find anything on it anywhere. The scope is a very rare vintage flash with a mini style graflex clamp...never seen one of those either...The bulb insert is heavy brass too, which all the other ones i have feel cheap...i sanded it and chemically darkened it to make it like a barrel choke.
Liking the wood vibe, I'd use it!

Thank You. Finding the right (connector/bridge) to meet the stock would be the toughest part unless i had one machined specifically for it...mainly because i do not want to tamper at all with those rare vintage parts. I'm a vintage parts nut and have never seen these parts in the wild and can't find a single bit of info on them ...besides the vintage Graflex clamp and Heiland, the scope and flash pistol were found amidst vintage part lots. I wish i had some history on them but unfortunately i do not.

I mean...if it was guaranteed to make it into a movie or show that was, you know, directed by a certain man named George Lucas then i, most likely, would make an exception...lol
edit: except the Holiday special...that's off limits and NO DEAL!! lol
This was still under construction last Wednesday. After remaking it three times once in metal then PVC and finally back to metal.
I had a dead line for last weekends Con and pulled a couple of late nights to make a costume that didnt exist the week before bar a few metal chest plates i had templated last month.
There are things I skimped on due to time constrains but knew my kids had there costumes sorted so had to get my jig on..
I bought a cheap bucket then added metal stalk and a motion activated range finder then drilled sanded vents filled in seams etc.

Oh and this crept onto my bench yesterday..
Some of the parts are place holders, I might go Full metal jacket ?
I traced the templates and have to add the section connecting the stock to the wood handle but im going to check OG measurements as it seems wildly large for my liking ATM..

I guess this is my current project, though it’s more in the parts gathering stage. I do have one set of knobs as well but they’re still attached to the Kalimar. I guess I can start tearing down the Eumig but I’d prefer to find a lens plate and transition box before I do that.

Just in the part collecting phase, the wooden parts are on there way, however I will need to build the bolt and receiver from scratch, as they are restricted here
Hydrospanner?

Sorry I'm late - yes! Spiffed up an older model I had made with a few better details from the original Avro Lancaster lamp part.
