Aluminum ESB Flame Thrower Interest Thread

[sithlord23]

Hey Psberreta, about how much does this thing weigh? I'm just curious, so if I'd need to tighten the fit on my gauntlets, to support the extra weight. Though with aluminum, it's probably pretty light. Lemme know whenever you have a chance. Thanks much for your time! These look great!

You can move me from the "In pending price" to the "In" column. Can't beat this with an aluminum stick!

 

[MandoMan]

He'll be able to get you an exact weight, but I can say that it is very light, and shouldn't weigh down the guantlet.

5.6 oz.

I have one of my missles on mine and it weighs 12.6 oz. and I have no problems with it .
Hope that helps.

No brass on this piece. Trying to keep the cost and weight down.
Still want in ?

 

[MandoMan]

The brass parts can probably be achieved by using Rub'n'Buff. I'm pretty sure they had a brass finish available. I think we've all seen the power of Rub'n'Buff tested on the Jango's out there.

As promised, here is a pic with the last block on it.

The only thing its missing is the little button head screw that goes into the top hole of the smaller front block. My plan is to get the material ordered up mid to end of next week. Shortly after, start rolling on these. The three holes in the back are for the wires to go into. The side of both blocks have threaded holes in them so you can mount it to your plate. The length is right at 9 inches. I had to turn the flash off because the thing is so shiny. It tuned into a fuzz ball in the pic .

I'm actually looking into making up a bunch from aluminum as we speak (thanks to Prymer and Laan's pressure.. ).

Will keep you posted!
