E-11 mag length

[SolderMaster]

Ok, troopers, I'm almost finished with my HF mods and I'm wondering how far does the mag stick out of the housing?

 

I emailed Casey AKA DoopyDoos about making me a mag that I can stick into the housing but still have the "accurate" amount protruding out of the housing once I bore it out. I need to give him some measurements.

As far as I know, the lenght varied from blaster to blaster. A quote from "Parts of Star Wars"

The standard Sterling Mk4/L2A3 34-round magazine model L1A1 was used. These were manufactured by Sterling Engineering Co of Dagenham, Essex. The unique scalloped-edge design (seen below) distinquishes it from magazines made by other military contract manufacturers.

They were cut down considerably. The exact length varies between each prop (from 1/2 to 2/5 the original length). Both ends of the magazines were used. The blank firing versions used the feed end of the magazine which locks into the magazine well while non-firing models usually used the left over ends. On some of the guns there are magazines with the real bottom plate covering the exposed end. Others have replicated plates (no hole in the center) and some were just plugged with a piece of wood.

 

 

 

 

 

Hope that helps!
