Hey folks. In preparation to convert my recently acquired Denix Mauser I've been reading up on the hero DL-44 from ANH until my head spins, and all that's happening for me is an ever increasing desire for accuracy that's going to break my bank for sure! Anyway, I generally try to stay in the 80% accuracy range when things get too pricey. What I ultimately want is an all (or mostly) metal blaster that looks "a lot" like the screen prop. I did pre-order a flash hider kit from Todd's Costumes, can't wait to get my grubbies on it!
My sticking point right now is the scope, I'm scouring the web and finding some decent likenesses but nothing that quite does it for me. Has anyone found alternate "real" scopes that have the general look of the Hensholdt? I'm talking single bell (or remove the second bell), about the right length, and ideally a single knob (or smallish knobs/assembly if there are two). Ideally I'd like to keep it under $50. I think that the mojo from having a real scope would outweigh the accuracy of a resin scope, for me at least. Any ideas?
