**UPDATE**
So.....I've been watching the tracking on this like a hawk, and actually met the USPS guy at the door. But it came today!

[USER=1136]Sidewinder[/USER] does an absolutely fantastic job on this kit. I opt'd to have him finish it. As stated earlier, I had him install the glass lenses in the scope piece. If you've seen - but Sidewinder disclosed that he used Round Glass Cabochon 20mm Lenses in this kit.

Such a gorgeous piece of weaponry! Very easy to put it all together! and seems very sturdy! Now, I thought the entire thing was resin, but it appears that the stock is wood, the connector in between the stock and barrel is solid metal and the barrel is the resin piece. The scope is metal and as I understand it, lathed with the aforementioned 20mm glass lenses installed. All in all - A HUGE upgrade to my older AprilStormProps EE-3! I was toying with the idea of getting a Field Marshal ROTJ EE-3 variant, but unless something happens to this one, that'll be a good long while before I consider that! As you may or may not know my AprilStormProps EE-3 was accidentally knocked over by a gal (Dressed up as Rey) during the last Halloween Event - I had it propped up against a wall. After it happened she was very clearly hurt about about it, more so than I was. I told her DO NOT WORRY ABOUT THIS! I mean, it was my own damn fault for leaving it unattended and up against a wall. If anything, it prompted me to engage Sidewinder for this upgrade. Which the wife approved - Hahaha! Even better when that happens right?
On another note [USER=8925]BH-51512[/USER] got back to me and the repair of my range finder transmitter will only cost me $20! <Whew!> I was trying to mentally prepare myself for some bad news! More to come on that story!
