Webley...Rubber EE-3 Blaster

hmm... I'll see if that kit is lying around here (being my local area) lots of Model builders around here... might find it. I hope!
 
Actually that IS the model!
It has been re released several times over the years.
All the parts have stayed the same for the most part except a few parts that have changed since the 1977 model.
This one however should have the part your looking for.
 
Okay, here's the latest. These pictures are bad. I used the flash and it created some artifacts that aren't necessarily there. Anyway, What do you think?

Hold off on the 5 1/2". I just found out that the barrel clamp goes around the Flash tube. So it looks like more of the Flash tube is exposed.

I'll have to adjust the drawings and get the new dimension.

I have revised the post above with a new image and a 6" dim for the flashtube extension.

I got a post over on the RPF from Chris Trevas from the The Parts of Star WarsThe clamp fit right up against the front of the barrel making it difficult to separate the two.

What is the length barrel on your master?

Actually, if you read through this thread:

You will find that the agreed upon consensus is that the placement of the clamps versus the length of the barrel does not match up and that the scope Has to be mounted to the Flash Tube.
THere is some debate as to whether the front mounting bracket was positioned that way for asthetic reasons or because it further helped to secure the flash tube into place.

Bottom line... Front Bracket connected to flash tube.
 
Does everyone really believe that it was intentionally placed on the flash tube? I guarantee that they could've held the flash tube in via butal or some other piece o' crap adhessive. I bet the scope mounts just slid forward for some of the shots because the barrel is slightly tapered.
 
The dimensions confrim the clamp being on the Flash tube. The best way would be to compare the scope mount locations. On my wireframe the forward face of the aft scope mount is 3" forward of the intersection of the barrel and the front of the chamber.

your right. but lokking at my own flash tube and measuring out 6inches. it looks way to long. even 5.5 looks loke it's pushing it. but 5inches exactly looks about right. i sudgest anyof you guys to do the same. id like to here your veiws on this. im not trying to be a pain but i would hate to see a beutiful thing ruined.
