SeanTX Posted November 30, 2017 Report Posted November 30, 2017 Cool. I have a good trigger group just need the frame But can't rush perfection. That rear sight looks mighty nice too. Quote

Bulldog44[TK] Posted December 3, 2017 Report Posted December 3, 2017 Great find. You have a treasure trove of goodies. There are probably a lot more of those counters in repairs shops still waiting to be discovered. 1 Quote

Twnbrother Posted December 4, 2017 Report Posted December 4, 2017 What kind of repair shop would have these? 1 Quote

During the last 3 years I had been in contact with the Hengstler main site in Germany, with industrial representatives and with a lot of industrial end users. Absolutely nothing. A funny thing was, when I first called Hengstler and got transferred to "THE" contact person for the 400-series, he immediately was aware and asked, if I belong to a Star Wars club. Looks like he had already received a few calls before. A funny guy though and we had a nice discussion. All machines and tools to build the metal versions from the 400-series are disassembled and removed since decades. They are not able to produce any of the old hardware again - even if they would want it. This makes Chris' metal brackets even more valuable. 2 Quote

Following your thread since ages and eagerly waiting for your full kit to be available. By the way, could you tell us drooling troopers any roughly estimated period, when you are ready to offer them?

I hate to say right now WHEN ,, doing the trigger frame for a few weeks and waiting on some castings to get completed... You all know this is not a easy gun to build. Most of you have scratch built or have made resin casts understand... the main body tubes are under way as i speak. Soon !!! LOL 3 Quote
