Re: Rifle Questions and answers
Here's the link for the thread at the RPF: http://www.therpf.com/f9/obsg-cylon-pistol-43668/
Oh, and by the way: A few nice detailed photos of the original screen-used rifle have shown up taken at the BSG exhibition in Seattle.
I bet you could use them well for your current build...

I think I did get a photo of the rifle, but I was more concerned about the Leader, and then lack of real true time to look at everything with my camera I might have missed a item or two.

Re: Rifle Questions and answers
WOW - those new photos are great, thanks for the link Red Eye. Man the original triggers were TINY! That would stink while you are wearing hockey gloves to get it pressed on command. Yikes. My rifle has a much larger switch and it is still hard to work!

Yes. I don't know what type of plastic is used, but, if I remember right a 2' square sheet of styrene is around $20 - I THINK! Don't quote me, or hate me because I'm beautiful

Nice update!
Are you going to wrap the barrel with electro tape like the original?

Re: Rifle Questions and answers
This is were my confusion lays on a rifle or pistol.the width looking from top.back or front.and I can't really tell with that ruler and the light shining on things.plus that can't just be tape going over the top.but that doesn't mater.I get it eventually....also seems that the box in the middle may be a bit thiner than the for-stock.not including the side plates and such....
