TerribleBen[TK] Posted October 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2020 Here's my kit. It came with a static deployed bipod so I got one from the Guy in Cali. Light and mount from Ebay. Any ideas where to get a sling? Thanks Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted October 10, 2020 Report Share Posted October 10, 2020 Very nice. I made my sling, just using nylon webbing and added home made metal clips and plastic adjuster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the best way/place to make it break in two for storage and transport? I have a threaded rod in the barrel and a recessed threaded section in the main blaster body so easy to separate, use two soft bags to keep the pieces safe. I've seen some use gun cases / boxes with foam in for transport 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerribleBen[TK] Posted December 31, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 Now that I have completed my armor and have joined the 501 I think my DLT-19 is next. I will be installing a coupling to the middle so I can break it down and adding a threaded end on the cocking handle for easier storage. My question is color....semi gloss body and gloss stock? Not sure....hasn't seen any official colors for it on the forums. Thanks TK 10545 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For that I went with a natural wood finish as seen in ANH. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerribleBen[TK] Posted January 4, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2023 First mock up of the back end. This thing is huge! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aradun[TK] Posted January 4, 2023 Report Share Posted January 4, 2023 Yep it’s a beast! 48” in overall length! Thankfully it will only be a fraction of the 70.5 lb weight of the original with bipod! Can you imagine trooping with that weight?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerribleBen[TK] Posted February 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2023 My question to the group is flat or semi gloss, starting to think about finish paint scheme...... I will go all black....maybe the silver ring ahead of the butt stock.....haven't decided yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revlimiter[Staff] Posted February 14, 2023 Report Share Posted February 14, 2023 Rustoleum 2x matte clear gives the most realistic blaster finish IMHO. It's a very mellow metallic look. Not a true matte/flat. Semigloss for the T tracks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
