Got my 20th on March 1 of this year. I go all the way back to "Boba Fett details threads" from the RPF (late 90s) which eventually led to the As You Wish forum before becoming TDH.

JGattonII Keep it up. The method you are using to figure out the alignment is basically what I did about 20 years ago to get the dimensions for the ESB flame thrower, gauntlet darts (before they were discovered) and the gauntlet rocket. Those ancient threads were started on the As You Wish...

Blast from the past. Signed, (formerly known as) Lord of all that is Fett

I have a couple barrels left they are $75 shipped within the US. The threaded portions were not pre-existing the machine added them. For the external threads (bolt) were turned on the lathe. The internal threads (nut) were drilled then tapped. I strated with solid rods then machined all of the...

CNC = Computer Numerical Control CNC refers to a computer controlled lathe or mill that reads a program to machine metal parts. The barrel's I made are a 3pc aluminum assembly that was turned on a lathe with a CNC control. -Mark

The barrel in the first pic are the ones I had CNC'd from solid Aluminum. -Mark

New pics added with the Aluminum barrel. See 1st post. At this time I am only offering the barrels for sale to convert existing MLC owners. -Mark

For the time being it's just something I'm doing. Maybe a small run later on. I am kicking around offering the 3 pc aluminum barrels on their own for MLC owners that are looking to upgrade their existing gun. After this weekend I'll know more. ;) -Mark

Turo, It'll be ready. If not you can use mine. -Mark

I started building this long before the Technisub discovery became public knowledge. Seeing how I was 90% done by the time the Technisub was announced, I wasn't going to ditch the project. Once I pick up a Technisub, I'll use it instead. -Mark

The stainless steel ones I made about 5 years ago are threaded. -Mark

*UPDATE ESB Sidearm w/spring loaded trigger and Aluminum barrel **UPDATE July 6 - picked up and installed the Aluminum barrel. NEW Pics added** **I have spare Aluminum barrels available for $75 plus shipping. See the following thread in the cargo hold...

Looking good PHAT. I've been working on sanding mine as well. A B&D mouse sander has been saving the elbow and wrist. Most of my time has been getting rid of the seam lines. I'm thinking about leaving a few scratches on the holster. It is ESB Fett afterall where nothing is very shiny or clean...

domo arigato Mr. Roboto

I heard of a chrome one going for $600 recently. I don't know the condition though. For the last couple of years they have been around $1000. The chromed ones are more abundant here in the states and go for a little less. The UK has the blued ones usually. I paid $1200 for mine in 2001. Mine...
