Dday[501st] Posted July 12, 2012 Report Posted July 12, 2012 I bought the following: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370626563001&ssPageName=ADME:B:BCA:US:3160 for $75 It looks fairly accurate and considering the hasbro kits and so on were 75+, I figured I couldn't go wrong with this. comments?

Sonnenschein Posted July 12, 2012 Report Posted July 12, 2012 This does look quite accurate, but you'd still need a hengstler counter. But I guess it must be quite heavy? Quote
PlayfulWolfCub Posted July 12, 2012 Report Posted July 12, 2012 I'd say that's a very good purchase, Derrek. You might want to make your own rail though - one that is longer, slightly thinner & screws into the rear sight. The one you've bought there is designed to be screwed into the receiver, Tunisian-style, which doesn't match the rest of the parts. Cheers, Andy Quote
89Batman[TK] Posted July 12, 2012 Report Posted July 12, 2012 Its a resin re-cast of a Master Replica, these have been doing the rounds in one form or another for years now (Maker Of Things being just one of them). They are quite brittle and don't stand up very well for trooping but they can make a good display piece. Doopy's in my opion is a far better option. Quote
captsafe66[Admin] Posted July 12, 2012 Report Posted July 12, 2012 You could get approved with this one and maybe do a Hasbro/Doopy's conversion for trooping, mine is holding up well. Quote
Griffin-X[TK] Posted July 12, 2012 Report Posted July 12, 2012 Looks okay, but agree with the above comments. IMO...you could find a better one on this forum. Obviously, it's up to you but eBay is not the best option. Quote
Dday[501st] Posted July 12, 2012 Author Report Posted July 12, 2012 Now that I have found a site dedicated to trooping and actually nicely run like this place, I'm sure to be coming here for my parts. As it is right now, it's all about waiting for all the current parts to come in and sort the good from the bad. Quote
Griffin-X[TK] Posted July 12, 2012 Report Posted July 12, 2012 You got it man. This site is loaded with great people and we're all about "troopers helping troopers". You will be up and running in no time! Good to have you on board! Quote
