Mystery Blasters

I would love to upgrade the handles to metal - or at least have them painted.

I was thinking that if someone decided to make a new set, make them like how MR did theirs, make the barrel in machined metal and cast the handle in polyurethane resin, was it?

The only reason I say this is because I think that it would be easier to get the barrel machined, because assuming on basic knowledge, places would be more likely to have a milling machine, over say a CNC mill or anything else to precisly cut designes with in metal that thick.
 
I just want my second blaster in time for me to assemble and paint for the event!

But these blasters are awesome. If I could find a set of these I'd be set
 
AH yes, I do remember those. I remember stacks and stacks of those boxes being sent out. The original maker obviously no longer produces these but as FP mentioned, for the time, they were absolutely outstanding for fan made. If it makes you guys feel better, I think the price point was $325 at the time. When the MR came out, it was evident that those were shorter and more accurate. Secondly, the MR felt much sturdier which prompted BOTH Seeker and I to sell off our pistols and jump into the MR boat.
 
Sorry to necro this thread, but I have a set of these blasters that I've spent the last couple of days trying to identify. I wanted to figure out who made them, then I found this conversation!

For anyone who is interested, I may be putting up a set of these for sale within the next week. They're still in the box from when I first received them, and other than to show off to a few friends for a moment or two, they have literally never seen the light of day.

They really are beautiful, but I bought them back when I had not decided whether to go Jango or Boba for a costume. I decided on an ESB Boba so I won't be needing these, and I'll use the money to help fund that project instead.

Word of caution though - I doubt I'll be willing to part with them for anything less than $350-400. Sorry guys, at the moment I just can't afford to dump more out-of-pocket money into this hobby, so I need to squeeze as many dollars as I can out of the few nice non-Boba pieces I have to sell.

If anyone is interested, I'll be considering offers over the next few days if you want to shoot me a PM. That will probably help me make up my mind.

Thanks!
