Thank you Phase Pistol for the delightful pics.
And a very big thanks to the anonymous owner who not only allowed this prop to be displayed, but allowed photographs to be taken of it outside the case. Should the owner ever become publicly known, we should collectively offer a very big round of applause to this individual.

WOW... It's like waking up and finding out that someone has absolute proof that aliens have visited the Earth. Very Nice...
Gee, less than 12 hours since this was posted and already climbing toward 1,000 page views. You guys must be hitting "reload" or something. :lol
Just a heads up that I will be traveling today and so won't be reachable... I'll pick up the thread again late tonight or tomorrow.
Have fun.

Does this mean the top bit shouldn't be black?

Rich considering the lack of reference material that you and Phil had I think you two did an amazing job and I love my version 4. I don't think anyone is going to complain that it was not 100% accurate. I look forward to seeing the new versions. That being said I sure am glad I went with the version 4 and not the metal version, collecting these could get really expensive (but well worth the money).

The fun is all over; the chase has ended. What else is there in this hobby to seek and pursue.?
Karl, this is truly ground-breaking, and all the more reason why the RPF is the premier prop replica site on the 'net., as we have members like you. :cheers

I'm nowhere near the expert Rich is, but the color tones in these hi-res shots seem to match perfectly to at least some of the scenes in the movie...
Wasn't there some discussion about a greenish tint to the gun (and perhaps the entire film stock)? If I recall, some screen caps supporting this showed a lighter top with a greenish, or parkerized-type finish.
But then again (and to recapitualate), I'm not a gun expert nor a BR expert so for all I know I may be talking out of my XXX.

That wire, hanging down the side of the barrel cover.
I know a prop replica should emulate the original prop, but my preference is always for that as much as possible but also to recreate how the prop would have looked like in real life.
I dare say, you wouldn't see a white wire on the outside of a real weapon.

Cool -- thanks Rich....
So it looks like the butt plate was all black at one point (you guys probably already discussed all that)...
Any new insight on the materials used for the custom parts?
I'm sure the butt plate was aluminum, right...? Based on the pics, it looks like the grips may have been a differnt type of clear plastic, but I'm just guessing based on photographs. I know today's resins weren't around 25 years ago, and also that you guys can't tell the composition of the grips just by holding them, but nonethelss, what are your thoughts?
