ESB vs ANH Blaster differences

[TrickyT81[TK]]

Hi all,

I’m nearing the end of my ESB TK build and getting together my additional accessories, one of these being my E-11 Blaster. I currently have ANH E-11 so would like to know…

1. What are the differences between the ANH and ESB blasters?

2. Is it possible to modify my current blaster to the ESB spec?

 

I have sourced a blaster but looking at alternatives if it saves me a bit of money if I can. 
 

Thanks folks,

Tim

Hi Tim. ANH and ESB blasters are different in that ESBs are typically missing some features of an ANH, notably the power cylinders stop the magazine, as well as the hengstler counter.

While an ANH blaster may not be approvable for ESB (depending on your GML), the good news is that a blaster in general isn’t even required for basic approval.

You can modify an ANH to ESB, here's mine L3 approved

OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable):

• Folding stock (does not need to function).
• No ammo counter shall be present.
• D-ring mounted on the rear.
• Sterling based blasters have the correct M-38 or M-19 style scope.
  • The M-19 scope is preferred.
• No 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.
• 3D printed blasters can not contain visible print lines and must be sanded smooth for a more realistic appearance.
