  1. If anyone wants to sell there m19,,, im offering a $3500.00 for one in complete condition.... Maybe this will get some attention! LOL

     

     

    Not the attention it needs to sell one of mine.  :laugh1:

     

    In fact i plan to buy several more, but only for a fair price.

     

     

    But i´m sure someone will sell you one for that amount.

  2.  

    Believe me finding the real stuff to Copy and preserve is most challenging. 

     

    Send me your addresses ill send you one to look at   Brain, Michael,Aaron, Jim ,,,Sean   i get everyone in this threaad lol>>>

     

    I know, but that one is more or less ruined. And a price should always reflect condition.

     

    Sure, a easy decision from my side, as i have several real of each (M19, M38, Singlepoint, Hensoldt Wetzlar, ...)  :D

     

     

    Send us one to compare? I can do that if wished.

  3. That's where we decide, does this effect me, or everyone, and does it really need commenting on?

     

    More or less the same as with the difference between a RS or a FX.

     

    Does it effect you? Or everyone? And does the difference really need to be commented on? I bet over 90% see differences between suits, when next to each other - but they all are just stormies for them, each of them.

     

    Armor only? Or same for addons? Where to draw the line? A bad Solo isn´t affected by a bad plastic gun and it´s "behaviour", but a good one can be really downgraded by such details. Same for a stormie.

  4. Maybe it´s due to my military time, but light weapons look totally wrong when handled.

     

    A ballerina stormie that swings a ultralight E-11 with one hand is immediatly unrealistic to me, same for a holstered blaster (lets say Han Solo) that flaps around when he moves instead of pulling the holster down with it´s weight.

     

    People move and handle different with a more realistic weight.

     

     

    Same as a reenactment knight in plastic armor and with a wooden sword.

  5. You wouldn't want to troop with 9 pounds of steel in you arms regardless of if it was functional or not.

     

    Get stronger.

     

    I always wonder when real guns are dismissed for being to heavy what these "weekend wannabe soldiers" think the real soldiers do - having a assistent that carries their equipment?

     

    If you can´t handle the weight for those few hours, maybe better choose a costume that fits your fitness ..... a princess Leia, queen padme or one of their handmaiden ...... B)  

     

     

    I can understand arguements like "going hyperfirm just in case you hit someone/a child due to not seing them", or "something easily to differ from a real one to avoid problems with the law", anything that way. But not the weight as a reason itself.

  6.  

    Looks repainted, and the cone is a mess. Better than nothing, but not good for the listed price.

     

    Trying not to brag, but i like those scopes.  B)

    Edit: Many scopes in the movies were simple casts. And there were 2 versions of these conetipped scoped, with screw on metal covers, and with plug on plastc covers - if one is into those tiny details he needs to check what was used on his wanted blaster version. I know, nitpicking - but this are real parts. ;)

  7. Nice collection!!!!,,,, ill use this model to get some measurements , should not be to hard to mock this up nicely..............  might grab a master replica to figure out the mounts?

     

     

    If i may suggest: http://www.toddscostumes.com/costume-supplies/star-wars-prop-builders-supplies/

     

    Shipping to Germany is a pain, but inside the US it´s a great deal. It´s the best replica of this scope i´ve ever seen, way better than any other offers. If i wouldn´t have real scopes i would order from them in a heartbeat. I have a machine shop, but with the involved time it wouldn´t be cost effective to make a own.

     

    The other parts are great, too.

  8. Come on, it´s still a pretty cheap "mistake", such is part of the hobby, it just happens. More than once.

    It´s not like spending over 300 for a vintage camera, add 40 for shipping, then add min. 20% on the 340 for customs and fees - just to learn a half year later that it´s the correct camera for a donor knob, just "this" version has a different knob. It´s part of the game.

    You have a real MGC, this mistake shouldn´t give you more than a "oops", or a "well.....damned".

     

    And they still look good. Use them now, and replace them when you found something better if you are still unhappy, then. You can probably sell them to someone who´s building with a bigger diameter.
