ZeroRoom[TK] Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Hi Murray, The scope rail should sit like this in the rear sight: Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murray1134[501st] Posted April 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Some more work done tonight, and that is what I have planned to do with the railing, I also have to shorten it up in the front too. I've got the scope now attached, unfortunately the brackets I've got are the wrong size, so I think I'm going to leave the Hengstler off for now. They were always falling off in the production anyways End cap is glued on and I've managed to get a spring inside. I used the "drumstick method" that was mentioned in another thread. Sorry, it's late and I don't remember the original poster. It took me about an hour and a half to get a wire hanger bent and properly sized to fit inside the barrel, but I'm happy with the final result.

jkno Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Great job on the blaster! Looks good! BTW did anyone attach their Hengstlers simply by gluing them to the scope and the barrel like the originals were? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murray1134[501st] Posted May 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Did some tweaking on the railing to lower it and get it fitting in better. Next step is paint. I'm in a bit of a rush to get this finished, but I'm trying to not over do and mess it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murray1134[501st] Posted May 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Base coat applied, definitely going to need to sand this down before I put the black down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murray1134[501st] Posted May 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 2 things learned on this build tonight. 1. Krylon paint is garbage, and I'll never use it again. 2. Don't rush these things, but make sure you have a deadline. I put down the coat of black paint on this and it's a mess. The paint was spraying unevenly, clogging, had a weird nozzle, the button would stick, just a nightmare of painting. The railing is glued in place, so it's pretty much good to go. Just needs some touch up work here and there. I've had a lot of fun building this, and I would do it again, especially considering what I've learned in doing this one. The gun has a good heft to it and feels solid. I'll have to see how it does on a troop tomorrow. I'm just so happy to not have to use my Hasbro anymore.
