Title: ESB DL-44 Replica
Post by: NEMESIS on March 07, 2014, 05:31:03 AM

Here are some pics of my ESB DL-44
I used a Denix Mauser with woodgrips, a metal scope mount with resin scope, metal flashhider, and selfmade greeblies.
The old bluing was completely removed and renewed with Birchwood-Casey cold bluing.
I also drilled through the barrel and put a working laser diode inside. A microswitch for the trigger and a soundboard
make this blaster complete  GHan

Really cool! Denix blaster replicas can be very accurate and also feel like the real deal being metal. Congrats!

Thank you guys!

@jkno: The weight gives it an awesome feel especially compared to the resin blasters
