you know you can just pull it off with a pair of pliers, right? I think i popped mine off within the first 30 seconds of opening the box lol.

Oh, me too!
But I'd rather give up a bit of realism for a shorter conversation with festival/party security.

Rather than start a new thread, I'll ask/ post this here. If I should make a new thread, I'll delete this and do so.
In looking for a budget DL-44, I have run across a couple cheap airsoft Mauser C-96. I ended up buying one last year for $8, and soon discovered that the size and weight were surprisingly good for my hand. There were some steel weights in the magazine and in the frame itself to give it an accurate feel. Sadly, the plastic frame would not be able to support a scope mount, so it became a custom blaster inspired by the DL-44.
Recently, I found yet another cheap airsoft Mauser C-96, this time the frame is a zinc alloy, which I should be able to drill and tap threads for the scope mount, and have it be stable enough. And this one is a whopping $15.
Here is the eBay link for the one I'm looking at:
https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/231660346981
At that price, I have no problem being a guinea pig for a budget build, as most my builds are. Before I pull the virtual trigger, has anyone used one of these for a DL-44 budget build?

The one you linked to is actually quite a bit smaller than the plastic airsoft.
Plastic airsoft on top, zinc alloy airsoft on bottom.

The M32 is the plastic one, I have that one and made a custom DL-44 inspired blaster. The metal frame one is what I'm using for my ANH Hero build.
Nice work!! Does that scope wheel come off easily. Just unscrew it or is there a trick?

Thanks.
Yes, it's just 3 screws. 2 on the cover and one for the knob.

that site always changes their URL, I just got a 404 even though you posted that 15 hours ago. Best advice for anyone else, just go down their front page and click the Star Wars link, you'll find a Jyn blaster and a Solo blaster.

Hey Gang! Not to derail the thread, but I was looking around the KYAirsoft site and, what's this?.....
https://www.kyairsoft.com/guns/armo...lt-luger-p08-6-pistol-with-muzzle-device.html
Just curious if it's a movie prop that I'm unfamiliar with, and if so what movie?
