So, can someone post a picture of a functioning AR clone of said Star Wars blaster ?
I guess they used deactivated Sterlings without a magazine for the movie |

If the Star Wars fans want to be accurate they are after the later production convex clear dome Single Points for their blasters and leave us the early round clear/frosted dome models. Either way it doesn't help in lower prices or availability.

Reproduction domes exist. They will break these scopes and make them useless just to replace the domes to make them "look" accurate.

Looks like a Sterling pistol grip.

Indeed Sterling. Is that some kind of rifle launched grenade rear used for the flash hider?

If anyone is interested there's a SinglePoint Normark mid 1970s brochure on Ebay with BIN, I have no connection with the seller.

Check out this web page.
I came across it by accident a few weeks ago. This guy was making star wars broom handle blaster kits. Scroll down to see all the parts. That muzzle device might look good on a fantasy retro... Dark Energy Creations parts for sale Whoever this is must be into ARs, scroll down, there made a URX wrench too: wrench |

I was over at a someone's house who had a shelf of Star Wars weapons that featured two or three single points. All were painted if I recall. This guy is pretty familiar with ARs, but George Lucas disease seems stronger than RBRD with some folks. Probably cheaper too in the long run.
All the prop-guns were made from demilled pieces of retro weapons, as pictured above. Star Wars came out in what '77? Lots of the raw material was really cheap back then. Horrywood! |

If anyone is interested check Ebay for two of them ending in a few hours. One is a round clear dome with red element model as in "Raid" SinglePoint, price is on the high side but I'd bet the seller would take a reasonable offer. The second SinglePoint is a round frosted dome green element model that's the alleged earlier day/night sight. Both have scope rings and look to be in very nice shape. Hopefully they will be saved from the Star Wars fans who will hack them up and install them on their "blasters". With rare exceptions the SinglePoints are going for $100 and more these days on Ebay if you havn't been following the prices.
