so ive recently bought a c96 copy made by Hudson and want to make it into an anh hero dl44. I'm not going to get real parts (although id prefer them) where is the most accurate stuff got from. ive looked at boba debt and tods costumes, where else do you guys recommend.

answers on a postcard please
 
I just purchased a Todd's kit but I might swap out the flash hider for fieldmarshslls.

I think Dark Energy Creations has the best flash hider and barrel sleeve in both steel and aluminum. His scope mount is very nice but it is cast pewter which I am not too keen on. His steel scope mount is very expensive. Todds has the best scope and he should be getting some in soon. His scope mount is steel and very accurate and reasonably priced. He is in the middle of a run being made for both of those. Field Marshall makes great stuff too and his stuff is a little cheaper than DEC. I think Field Marshall has the best value on parts over all. I made an ANH DL-44 on a real Mauser so I tried out a lot of stuff. I went with a DEC flash hider, barrel sleeve and front grill. I used Todd's scope and scope mount.

Good luck with your project.
 
Here is my build. I am pretty proud of how it turned out.
DEC steel barrel sleeve. DEC aluminum flash hider. DEC pewter grill. DEC pewter T-track and aluminum antennae. Todds Costumes scope and scope mount.

I have a Todd's flash hider sitting next to FieldMarshals. I have to say, to my eye, Todd's is more accurate.

Lol, that probably would help. I'm looking closer at a reference photo there are things that one does better than the other. Again, this is to my eye. Todd's does the scallops a bit better and FieldMarshal does the knurling better. The knurling looks like it stops past the curve. The reference is from Crucible Custom Props.

Old Todd's, better knurling and scallops(If that's what they're called) To me. The knurling goes into the curve and the scallops go closer to the edge where the recess begins. They also have the right shape. The ends are more pointed than round.
