My Blaster (Ready for ANH EIB?)

[snoberg]

Here are some shots of my recently completed blaster, let me know if it meets all the requirements. I think I covered all my bases, the only two minor things that I am not happy with are the fact that my folding stock (despite measuring 100 times) came out about 1/4" too far out, but its not a glaring issue. Also, I did not feel comfortable bending my T track into the holes, they are glued on top of the barrel.

 

This is the photo set I intend to use for both my 501st application and EIB, if any other angles are needed let me know please.

I think it will pass just fine.

 

But you can send it to me for closer inspection.

 

Photos and blaster look great! If the stock really bugs you, you could always cut 1/4" from the stock just behind the folding butt and reassemble abd secure it by screwing through the bottom into the pipe. A little bondo and paint will hide the join.

Thanks Terry. You should know, that I followed your pipe build every step of the way with this one

 

I think I will just live with the stock, unless there is an issue with it passing, but I see nowhere in the requirements that state the exact length that it extends from the end of the barrel. I am just OCD with some things

pretty good.

I think it looks great and wouldn't worry about it

Looks good, but aren't there supposed to be a pair of wires going from the counter to the cylinders?

Very few ANH blasters actually had the wires, and its not a EIB requirement so I opted out. Good catch though

The wires will depend on the version you're trying to emulate:

Only two had them, and since its not a requirement, I opted out since they were so uncommon. There were so many variations a person can't possibly say that one is more SA than the other, at least in my opinion.

Your blaster is an easy pass. Can't wait to see the armor to match.

It's absolute rubbish. You need to ship it to me immediately for proper disposal.

 

 

 

j/k - it's gorgeous

Thanks a lot guys! I am just working some last minute belt/holster issues and I *should* be set. The end of the semester is brutal on me this time of year, no time to play with white plastic :/
