Sorry I guess I should clarify my statements. Siderio told me that he cast only what he thought to be off of real gun parts and original prop parts (remember also his understanding of English is not the best, check out his site). When he found out otherwise he stopped and recreated his own. they may have been 'based' off of yours Rich, but they were not 'molded' off of. Using the "most accurate gun" as a reference, is not the same as recasting. It makes no sense to have to reinvent the wheel every time you make a new version. I also do know more about the information about the first versions of your BR guns than you are admitting. So do others here. I have always just been asking you to just do the best version ever, sell it at a competitive price (doesn't have to be cheapest) and you will own the market again. Crying "recaster" may scare as many people away from you as it encourages to buy from you. I honestly tried to look for proof of his recasting and I am still very filled with doubts. I used to argue with many people for your side on this issue many of times, until I saw a sid kit in person. His version is different enough for me to call it "Rock and Roll" instead of "Blues". Many here think his is better, even with it's inaccuracies, because of the quality of workmanship and materials. That is what you need to focus on. If you played the game more and stopped crying foul all the time, you could be winning the game.
