Yes, that's what I meant all right.
Here's the internal view of the one that's got me concerned. I know, I know -- the simplest route for the novice saber builder (me) is to simply use a standard 7" handle... but this one is for a 13-year old, and as such I want it to be easy for him to hold. Hence the #7 pommel and the ribbed extension, which I plan on adding black rubber O-rings to (possibly with a dinky bit of epoxy to make sure they don;t go anywhere.) But you see that the pommel and extension both extrude themselves within the 5" section, and I'm not sure what that'll do to the design in Real Life. If I swap the ribbed and plain extensions around, then the heat sink projects inside the 5" plain tube and I've got even *less* space, plus heat to worry about.
Having never seen any of the parts in question, I'm more or less shooting blanks here.
