Hey Guys,

 

I have an original Sterling with it's magazine that I'm converting into a ANH E-11. I was wondering how far should the clip extend out of the gun when the clip is locked in place. I was looking at:

But he seems to be extending it out a bit too far - Can someone confirm the correct length? Also, I understand there were probably several lengths because some could fire blanks and other could not - but I'm looking for the set up that could fire blanks - if that means it would be longer.

 

Thanks,

 

jack :D

i would cut it to extend out about 2" - 3". here is a video of an original ESB blaster

but like you stated there was several different lengths of magazines (some just had a wooden block shoved into the receiver), so i dont believe there is any one "correct" length, i would just study the screencaps and make a judgment call ;) personally i like them a bit on the longer side.

Except that it's an ANH blaster. Notice the power cylinders on top of the magazine, and the hengstler? Must be incorrectly labeled at the prop stores site as they too say it's ESB.

 

Disclamer: I didn't have sound when I saw the clip. Could be an explanation to this AHN/ESB thingy.

Seams on a second view with another video in between that there is in fact no audio in that clip.

Most people just trim down the 34 round mag to about 2-2.1/2 inches like this
