Pyrates[TK] Posted February 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 For mine, I'm using copper pipe and fitting from my refrigeration gear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrates[TK] Posted February 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 I marked out where my charging handle sits, and cut out that section so it sits flush and almost seamless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't have any so worked with what I had. The boy has "lost" a lot of pens of late....well, I needed the springs! Marc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyrates[TK] Posted February 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 (edited) So let's hit the nail on the head, as it were, there is a difference between where the bolt "groove" or "guide" sits on my blaster. Mine is positioned higher than the one in the blue print, meaning I'm not going to get the full detail - however I'm a firm believer that something is better than nothing. This also why I won't be able to replicate the shell extraction pin at the front of the bolt as my "groove" sits in the road. Here's what I'm talking about: And mine...

Pyrates[TK] Posted February 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 And just so everyone is aware, this is just me trying to add a little more magic to my blaster and all these extras are not part of the CRL requirements.

Pyrates[TK] Posted February 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 Now the upper portion of the "grove" won't be seen, but for the bottom portion I've ground it down a bit for painting in later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrates[TK] Posted February 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 Tape off and inner bolt painting I used a mix of metallic black and steel first to prime the parts of the inner and outer bolt. IMO I like the darker look of silver , so once dry I've done another coat of metallic black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyrates[TK] Posted February 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 I'm going to let that coat dry and do some more sanding of the surface as it still looks a little rough for my liking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrates[TK] Posted February 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 After that, the blaster work is done and time for final review of E-11 EIB and Centurion requirements. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrates[TK] Posted February 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 All right, let's review the CRL Checklist for the E-11 Blaster for EIB and Centurion: EIB requirements : •Folding stock (does not need to function). - ✔️ •A real or replica ammo counter - based off of a Hengstler counter - shall be present. - ✔️ •D-ring mounted on the rear. - ✔️ •Sterling based blasters have the correct M-38 or M-19 style scope. - ✔️ •Two power cylinders on the magazine housing. - ✔️ •Scratch-built, resin cast, Hyperfirm rubber cast blasters shall have a total of 6 T-tracks on blaster (leaving the lowest row on the magazine housing side uncovered). If using the Hasbro E11 toy blaster, it is modified to have the correct number of T-tracks (6 total), with a lower row of open vent holes on the magazine housing side. -This is accomplished by covering the pre-existing rows of holes with T-tracks, then grinding off the lower integrated T-track on the magazine housing side, and drilling a new row of holes in its place. •No ESB/ROTJ greeblies are allowed on the blaster. - ✔️ Centurion requirements : Hasbro blasters are not allowed, even conversions. - ✔️ QuestDesignCanada Resin Cast blaster Blaster is ready for application 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrates[TK] Posted February 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 Thanks to Marc for pointing out that the spring should be spread more showing 11 to 12 coils - cheers brother! Correction underway! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
