Maul Question.

[Darth Vane]

ok so i got some exciting news. my parents might be getting me a darth maul Fx for christmas and i was wondering some thing.

after converted will i be ablle to use the battle blades they sell here or am i going to get screwed out of that like the Ultra conversions? i dont mean the DIY ones. i am going for these ones since it is cheaper.

plus is there a way i can take off one of the covertec clips and replace it with like a set screw or some thing?

[Lord Maul]

If you convert it with a metal blade holder it can use 1" blades. Only the pre-converted Mauls from Ultrasabers don't have the aluminum blade holders. If you get a DIY kit you'll be set.

I took off one of the Covertech knobs on mine and just left the threaded hole empty. It's tiny and hard to notice. You could put a set screw in there, but you'd have to find the thread pitch

here i am am asking questions about a darth maul saber conversion and who should be the first? Lord Maul Himself lol.that just made my night.lol

thanks man that is what i needed to hear. any idea what the thread pitch is. will any thing fall out of place if i take it out or will every thing be ok?

[Lord Maul]

Nothing will fall out of place. I'm not sure what the thread pitch is...I'd guess 4-40, but I'm probably wrong. I would check, but I don't have the saber anymore

[Darth Vane]

thats sad to hear. thanks again man. know the only thing i got to worry about is if it is going to be a MR or Hasbro. i dont think it will make a differnce though...

[Darth Vane]

never mind it is the hasbro release. i hope it can be converted like the MRs....

[Lord Maul]

It should be exactly the same hilt, just with a different brand label.

[Darth Vane]

one more question was the emiter metal or plastic?

[Lord Maul]

It's metal. I believe we had at one point decided that it was steel, and the body was aluminum. The conversion kit blade holder is aluminum.

[Darth Vane]

i like the sound of it being steel! lol thanks again man if i need any more questions i will post here. God Bless.
