Screws go beyond in the receiver. I’ll trim them (grew arrows). But I can’t trim the screws which maintains the connection between the folding stock and the receiver (red arrows). I can unscrew them, insert the bolt and screw again. But the bolt can’t move in the receiver.

It seems that the solution is to solder the folding stock connection. Any other tip ?

I wasn't satisfied that the bolt could not move in the main tube. This kit is near perfect, so why the bolt shouldn't move ?

I decided to sold the part that connect the folding stock on the main tube. I used a bi-component glue for metal, not to wrap the main tube with soldering.

I used the screws to maintain the parts during the process.

Two days after, the result seems to be very strong.

I trimmed the parts and I cut the screws so they don't stick in the tube (5mm less).

I'm very happy with the result.

I took the opportunity to fill the little hole near the "S" selector.

Fantastic work there! If you hadn't shown the pictures of the process I would not have known you modded it. :) Keep it up! I am loving this stuff.

Thanks Tino and Aaron.

I've working on the scope rail.

I had to add washers to prevent the scope from moving. Almost invisible :rolleyes:

The counter bracket is included in the rail but I think it puts the counter to much forward.

If I refer to the FISD e11 blaster reference, the counter bracket must be after the first feet of the scope, not before.

I’ll have to cut half of the bracket. Luckily, the rail is in hard steel. Half of it should be enough to fix the Hengstler.

Do you agree with me ?

Before cutting the counter bracket, I would try a placement test when it is attached to the rear foot of the scope. Would that bring the counter in a suitable position?

My mistake, should have noticed that in your last photo above. :blush:

Well, in that case I would give it a try and do it like shown in your picture.

Keeping fingers crossed...

I’ve cut the rail. Not a laser cut but very satisfied.

I’ve made a screw thread in the Hengtler and fixed it on the rail.

The result is better than the first try. As mentioned in the FISD e11 reference “ The top of the counter should be aligned with the centerline of the scope. The Hengstler logo should be aligned with the front foot of the scope.”

Time to assemble the blaster and to show you some pictures !

Awesome! I appreciate your attention to detail. It looks like all you need now are some T tracks and then paint. This is a quality blaster! Oh, and I like your stand for it too!

(...)   T-tracks are at home. Need to find some time to prepare them. Need to test how to curve them. Will try hot water first.

Not sure if hot water will work but if you have access to a heat gun, I would highly recommend using that.

And here is a tutorial with some general help for installing T-tracks:

-> Thank you Tino for the t-tracks tutorial :duim:

-> Hassan, for the paint job (the more difficult job for me : I hate painting :blink:), it'll be a flat black, with just a little weathering.

 

I wasn't satisfied by the screw fixing the hengstler counter. The head was too big and touch the main tube when fixing the rail.

 

Fieldmarshall e11

 

The counter wasn't strictly vertical. I also wanted the counter not to rotate on the bracket. So I decided to had a nut in the counter in order to tighten more the screw. The nut is fixed with bi-component epoxy glue for metal.

I also changed the screw with a more curved head one.

The result is more solid and the screw is less visible.

Does anyone knows what kind of prism I could use in the scope ? I'd like to see through it like a real one 
This is what i installed on my scopes. bd9123b2c1a4ddec8cb6095363ef7d32.jpg
