Brother there’s certain people here I don’t want to be friends with.

Not sure. It ended pages ago and became build threads. Maybe those deserve their own threads and this one should stay informational.
For the antenna greeblies where they originally simply glued directly onto the bull barrel itself or did they sit on something? This I know has already been disguised way earlier but it’s always worth a new look..
Whoever shared this wanted to showcase something different and the circle goes over that part of the picture, but still looks like there is a small rectangular shape under the antennas. Could be just thick residue from glue or putty, but I think the line on the right side too straight for this.
Ya that pic is from an old post by kpax showing off his build. I believe he’s in the camp of the greeblie simply being glued directly onto the bull barrel itself if I remember correctly. But that line you pointed out does seem to be awfully straight for it to be glue residue?
I also believe this to be kpax as well but I could be mistaken. Again it’s worth reposting as a lot of these conversations have already been discussed..

Exactly
Looks like he moved it too much to the center. The original remaining antenna lines up with the side of the gun around the extractor
If there was a piece in the middle like on the merrsonns I agree that it will probably leave the kind of straight line residue. Also there will be quite some space between the 2 antennas (3rd picture above) otherwise it will be quite offset to the left (middle)
But on the merrsonns looks like the antennas are glued on the middle greeblie not on the barrel directly. So hard to say if it was done the same way on the hero how it could be removed and still have one of the antennas left on the barrel.

The original cradle
/mount was really heavy duty machined or cast metal right? It reminds me a lot of old European wartime rifle hardware - I admit I’ve never seen anything like it, I almost wonder if it was part of anti aircraft optics instead of a weapon

There's certainly excess glue and at least some of it is directly on the barrel on the merrsonns, but if the antennas were glued both to the barrel and the middle greeblie - I'm not sure if it is enough to hold the antenna glued to the barrel if you rip off the middle part? I'm thinking along the lines of maybe it was done on the hero like on the merrsonns, but everything was removed and then the antena was glued on top of the old residue.
Maybe it just looks like they are glued to the middle greeblie on the merrsonns because of the angle, but are glued just to the barrel.
After all on the one that is missing surely there's no paint where the antenna was, but I don't see any glue residue there (maybe there's some in the back)

Check Mosin Nagant scopes, certainly is not the same, but there are enough similarities to suggest that the hero's could be from a rifle scope of some sort.
Just an FYI in that first pic so anyone stumbling across this knows was edited to “add” the full antenna greeblie. Because this pic from the SWC was edited its possible that maybe the antenna greeblie was still fully intact like it appeared in this 2nd pic but simply a bad edit job took it out?
So it was readded to see if in-fact maybe that’s what it actually looked like..
But that’s clearly not the case once these pics were recently released by someone who from my understanding wants to remain anonymous. But he’s still right here with us so thank you!
You can clearly see nothing was lost in that SWC pic and that only the head remains..
