I recently built a replica as a cross between the 1 scope ring and Stembridge version of this blaster.
Brass shined up so it can reflect as much light as we see in the bunker shootout, and weathered like the former version.
Until someone makes accurate parts for the Stembridge using white Delrin, aluminum and brass, I’ll keep it this way. (see Propstore parts & PIH replica)
The closet Stembridge version I’ve seen was built by OdiWan72, although kurtyboy may have made one too.
I’ve enough parts to build the 2 scope ring version next.
PARTS:
NOTES:
The flash hider is a model that has the grooves of the 2 scope rings version with squares seen on the 1 scope ring version.
The Stembridge flash hider should be an aluminum version of the 1 scope ring version, IMHO.
The rubber foot is a modern version, it should have a logarithmic curve. Surely this can be created by someone for high resolution printout via Shapeways…

PARTS:
- MGC w/ no markings, tight action.
- @bobadebt brass, aluminum and Delrin parts
- modified scope bell using Bushmaster 4x32
- front scope tip ground off and replaced w/ custom machined brass replacement, resin insert
- scope rail replaced w/ one that allowed the dovetail to line up more evenly w/ the top of the bracket

QUESTIONS:
- is this a photo of a screen used prop? I think it might be as the seamline is what we see on the good photos of the ROTJ E-11.
- which blaster is this from? I think it's from the 1 scope ring due to the number of grooves, but the squares look short.
