never heard a bad word about this e-bay seller . he sells stormtrooper blaster parts and hasbro conversion kits etc. I was in correspondance with him a while back and know he has a real sterling and some scopes which he has cast from so i would recomend this guy.

I know this guy fairly well he used to use the name filmfreak on eBay, all his stuff is cast from original found items that he has taken the time to source himself or they are built from scratch by him. Nice guy too  |

Really, I heard a few of his parts are recast from parts bough on TK560.com.

What items ?
I honestly find that hard to believe, every time i spoke to him which was quite often a couple of years back he was very anti recasting.

I think there is a thread on the RPF about it. I believe the complaint was over the folding stock piece and end cap.

Been a while but as i recall he sold two types of kit, one was resin parts cast from a sterling for use on pvc pipe type blasters, the other was a conversion kit for the toy blasters.
The folding stock part from memory was just the front end not the forked part, cast from a sterling.
The end cap was either a direct cast off a sterling or a part that added the two stock locating bits on the end cap on the toy blaster which was made by chopping the two loacting pieces off a cast of a real sterling endcap.
I can't see how either of those pieces can be recognised as recasts being that they are cast directly off a real sterling, it's not like they are sculpted or have serial numbers on or anything.
Other parts he sold would be possible to distinguish as recasts such as the scope from the serial number, the magwell from the serial number, the scope rail which is sculpted.

I had an issue with him way back over his ROTJ scope rail and scope being a recast of mine after someone else said as much to me , he was totally forthcoming and sent me pics of his masters for these parts along with photo's of his sterling ,m38 singlepoint and kobold flash to prove where the other parts he did came from too. I would agree he is anti recasting .
