Absolutely. There’s no way a resin bracket would hold up. The weakest spot looks like it’s going it be right in front of the hand grip.

Been doing some more messing around with this build. Probably doesn’t seem like I’ve accomplished much since last time, but it want things to be put together well before I put any paint on it.
Glued on the greeblies.
Added the two screw to the butt stock per reference pics.
Painted scope mounts and added hardware.
Added a threaded rod to the breach block for added strength, plus it’s similar to how it is in real life. Unfortunately, this is a part that was not included in the Airmarshal hardware kit. (Just a screw for one side was included) The real one, I’m sure is steel. Mine is aluminum. ( I used the screw that came with the rod.)
The breach action works although I don’t plan on using that feature due to the risk of breaking it.
I also inserted a brass rod into the breach block where a rod exists on the real one. (Not exactly sure of it’s function. Extractor mechanism, maybe???) Just though it added a nice touch.
So off to work for a couple of days and then I’ll get some paint on this thing when I get back home. Until then.

You're forgiven.

I couldn’t help but notice that “Book of Boba Fett” didn’t make the list. What’s up with that?

Indeed! The BOBF version doesn't have all those barrel fins to snag on stuff! High speed, low drag!BudaFett

(And no silly rifle sling to keep it from falling in the dirt!)

Original Trilogy or nothing!
Obviously Mandalorian S2 and Book of Boba Fett deserve their own lists.

2) Rearmored S2
3) post sarlacc
4) Nomad
5) just rocking the flight suit
