    No covertec or D-ring?

    How are you attaching the insert without the MPS Clip?

    Lux III Royal Blues are out of stock, (the last one was sold today) and if Tim doesn not stock them on 7 days they're gone. (They are discountinued.)

    Also, add the thumbscr4ew to your list. (Are you going to drill & tap the blade retention screw yourself?)


    Otherwise, it looks good.

    You will need a latching switch not a momentary unless you are working with an econo hasbro soundboard.

    I would go with blue, Royal Blue is so dim it isn't worth the color.

    You can use hot glue to keep you pommel insert in place.

    I like the design, can't wait to see it all finished...

    Ive got the tap and drill service added i just didnt add it on here.

    For my last saber i used tarzans super grip. Works fine.

    And i chose the momentary option for the driver, because im waiting for the ultra sound board to restock. But if i dont get that, I need a latching? (pushon/off)

    Also royal blue looks great in photos but i respect your opinion more than photos. So thanks

    150 isn't THAT bad i suppose, i might pay that if it was free shipping..

    You have a few alternatives (Which by the way could be found easily in the saber sound section of this forum...)

    Crystal Focus (aka CF, Buttered Toast, BT etc..Notoriously difficult to obtain..)
    Master Replica FX (Gut one for sound or find a board for sale)
    Force Action (Cheap Econo boards sold at Target, Wal-Mart etc for around $15)

    Those are probably your most commonly discussed sound solutions... now go do some more reading

    Please DO NOT call things you don't like, or you think are stupid, "gay". There are people on this board who are gay and they might be insulted by the word being used in a derogatory manner.

    I am one of those and I DO find it insulting.
