Building an ESB-style blaster, step-by-step

For around $60.00, here are some instructions on how to build this replica:

Purchase an "Airsoft" Mauser pistol for $15.00 on e-Bay.  Get a "spring" model which is plastic unless you want to spend $100.00 or more for a metal, "gas" version
Purchase a resin "Blaster Conversion Kit" on e-Bay.  I bought mine from a seller named "cloneorder66" for $46.00.

The resin Blaster Conversion Kit purchased on e-Bay from seller "cloneorder66" for $46.00.

The parts were already painted and weathered.

Step 1:

Cut off approximately 1-1/2 inches of the barrel.  Attach the flash suppressor to the end of the barrel

Step 2:

Attach the "piston halves" to the left side of the pistol.  Use screws, two-part epoxy, or heavy-duty double-stick tape as I did.

Step 3:

Attach the scope mount to the right side of the pistol, again using screws, epoxy, or double-stick tape.

Attach the scope to the mount using hex-head bolts included with the kit.

You are now finished!
