Here's the major problem i'm facing: What should I use for T-track?

 

I may have to make a copy of the E-11 from the later Jedi Knight games. which look like bracket T-Track used for miter saws and the like.

Absolutly!!! that would cool but it would be a Home static Dispaly " to see only" or at least that what i would do if i ever was able to get a real one. "Display Only" Never Troop with!!!

I would even go as far as making the cast not to be able to open easily.

My opinion is if u have the cash to get a really one and modifiy it, and u live in a country & city that permits u to have real weapons why not.

 

my only true concer would be the modified clip ( any thing that would have to be modified to get a E-11 looking blaster would be messing around with the clip so that would make the gun not safe for the user. u could always get a real clips to shoot and a a modified short clip for display.

 

The magazines wouldn't be a problem. In fact...

But yeah, these are the problems I already forsee:

 

T-tracks: Where could I get some that are made of steel or aluminum that I can affix to the barrel shroud? All i've seen are plastic ones.

 

Hengstler counter: Not so much as a procurement issue (I can always find a way to snag one), but i'm more worried about the method of attaching it. Wouldn't glue melt off if the receiver got hot? I can see a method involving a hole being dirlled and tapped into the side, the counter affixed and held into place by a screw that is covered in Loctite and then ground down flush with the receiver, welded and finish dressed.

 

Everything else.. I could probably handle by myself or could pass off to a qualified gunsmith, such as affixing a proper scope base and the like.

I certainly wouldn't use it for trooping, I could just "update" an off the shelf toy to accompany my costume- if and when (probably when) I decide to join the Legion, that is.

 

I would however like to have something that would be truly unique, you know? The ultimate nerd's gun, I guess you could say.

Here are some close-ups of the rifle and it's magzines[/img]

 

Now I'm sure I could have it re-registered as a Short-barreled rifle here in the States with minimal fuss (other than the money it takes), but would an E11 conversion be viable on a live-fire weapon? I even found a prospective scope to use, if I do decide to try it.
