Anyone interested in an F-11D run with lights built in?

[hestonkent]

Finally set aside some time to build a solid working prototype. Any interest?

I would say yeah, there is. I've already ordered parts to convert one the non-lighted version I received last week into a lighted version using LEDs and 3v batteries....hope it works out.

Would love to see the results if you get it working! I was very impressed with some of the modifications some of my other customers here did on theirs, I know firsthand how hard that stuff can be - it was fairly on the easy side for me since I redesigned some of the parts to house the lights and batteries.

If I had an FO defiantly something I might be interested in, are you offering to sell or just as a one time thing?

Considering doing a short run of perhaps 15 or so to see how interested people are in these. 

[scouter477]

Well I would most definitely be interested even just as a collectable for now, have you decided on a price?

Still working that one out, won't be too far from the prices of the current blasters I'm selling at the moment.

From the prices I've seen on your website they look very nice, I would have no problem purchasing one as long as it was able to ship with minimal problems from CBSAs end

Alrighty, got some things wrapped up and already updated the etsy listing to reflect the LED versions. Here's some pictures: 

 

 

 

 

 

 

LEDs can be controlled by (for the red LEDs) turning their appropriate cap clockwise for ON and counter-clockwise for OFF. Flashlight can be controlled by twisting it clockwise for ON and counter-clockwise for OFF. The flashlight is attached to the silver ring on the front end, which can be pulled out of it's socket in order to access the cap in the rear and swap out the batteries when necessary. 

 

LEDs take 1.5v LR41 batteries - each blaster comes with a full set of replacements. The batteries can be swapped by unscrewing each LED's cap and swapping the old ones with new ones. 

 

Links to order on my website are here:

Kinda new with shipping out of country, would something like FedEx work to Canada?

What province are you in? May be able to work something out, dealing with Canadian customs is definitely more lax than other (especially european) countries. 

[scouter477]

I'm in Ontario, generally I think the law is more of a common sense type of thing for replica weapons, but I might be mistaking, been a while since I've looked at laws

[hestonkent]

Turnaround time is now 2-3 weeks from order. Will continue to update as more orders come in.

Digging how they look in the dark. 

[Garrett Steele]

Very interested.

[Dark CMF[Staff]]

Very possibly.  YES!!!  

[T K[501st]]

Very cool! But first I need a FOTK... Too many cool things.

 

Great work!

[Dark CMF[Staff]]

Heston, can you share some pictures that indicate what we'd need to do to change the batteries?  Open compartments, etc?

[hestonkent]

 

Same goes for the mag: 

 

 

The front light is a little bit different: 

 

 

 

Once you've got that pulled out the cap comes right off like the others. 

 

These run on LR41 batteries, by the way. Each blaster includes a replacement set for all 3 lights, and the LEDs are supposed to be rated for at least 5 hours of on-time before you should need to change them.

Hey Heston please check your PM's if you haven't already.

[Dashador]

Has anyone tried sanding this blaster down before to get rid of the printed lines, or is it not thick enough?

[hestonkent]

Just a heads up, running the black friday promotions now on my Etsy page and website. Use BLACKFRIDAY2016 to get 25% off any of the blasters.

 

Also running a promo for those who want to get some blasters for their local garrison, order 4 blasters and get a 5th blaster for free, can be used with the black friday promo as well. PM me if you're interested in the garrison promo so I'll make sure to add a blaster to the shipment.
