My Han Solo DL-44 Blaster is the result of years of fanatical research. I've procured all of the original elements possible including Veron model kit cylinders and pushrods, Hensoldt-Wetzlar scopes, and MG-81 flash suppressor and adapter. I've spec'd them all in minute detail. I've personally examined the re-assembled original blaster (sold at auction the summer of 2022 for $1,200,000) and measured it every conceivable way including weight. I've searched out the best manufacturers for each of the parts required to duplicate this prop, down to the screws. What I'm offering here is incredibly close to the real prop.
How fanatical? Well, I've reproduced every detail that can be reproduced, even details you will never see. Such as a COMPLETE replica Hensold-Wetzlar scope with ALL INTERNAL PARTS, identical to the original scopes (that means STEEL! Not aluminum.) Such as using 3 Veron model engine cylinders to construct the "grille". Such as a replica gas restrictor in the barrel. Such as scope mounting lugs attached to the side of the gun. Such as a barrel threaded to accept a silencer or extended barrel, as the original customized C-96 Mausers were. Such as German proof marks on internal parts. Such as steel adapters and collars to mount the MG-81 flash hider to the barrel.
Yes, you can grab DL-44 blasters made of plastic or airsoft guns for a lot less money. But if you want a truly museum quality replica, this one's for you. Grab one while I can still make them! (I'm not getting any younger!)
Please note that this replica does not hold or fire real ammunition.
Disclaimer: Despite copying the lenses from real original Hensoldt-Wetzlar scopes, they unfortunately do not focus for distance.
This is the last one available! However, if there is enough interest, I may consider doing another run. Please call me at 661-242-2089 to inquire.
QUESTIONS ABOUT INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, we do. But we do not know if these are legal in your country. That is for you to find out.
What about customs?
Paying the import duty your government imposes is your responsibility. Import duty is determined by your government after the shipment arrives in your country. We have no idea what your government will charge you to import anything we sell. We will not refund you the shipping charges if the parcel is returned because you refuse to pay import duty.
How much is shipping to the UK? Finland? Botswana?
Add the item to your shopping cart, go to your cart, then enter your shipping address. You will see real time quotes from USPS and UPS with the available service options and prices. These are the ACTUAL charges with nothing added. We make no money on shipping.
Do you ever have trouble shipping these to another country?
Occasionally, yes. We do sometimes experience delays with blasters going through customs, since they are difficult to classify. It is not unusual to experience delays up to two months in customs. USPS shipments are delayed more often than UPS shipments. About 80% of our shipments get through as expected.
Do you offer tracking?
Yes, both USPS and UPS offer tracking. USPS tracking is quite limited. After the parcel arrives at your country, your government's customs department takes possession of it. USPS can't track it beyond this point. After customs has inspected, classified, and taxed it, it is handed over to a local delivery service. This agency will collect the import duty and arrange delivery. You may be required to pick it up. UPS offers better tracking because they handle the package from door to door, including collecting the import duty.

the real thing
This blaster is no joke. It is hefty and sturdy and looks fantastic. In fact, it has been mistaken by several people as being real (by people who handle real firearms for a living). It is expensive, but the quality is unparalleled. Much better than any 3D printed version or any plastic toy that has been painted.

Best All Metal Option / QC could improve
Was very excited to receive this and met my requirements of an all metal blaster. I bought the complete blaster since the kits pieces were not in stock. Very realistic, sturdy and heavy. But I dinged it 2 star for 2 reasons: (1) cap screw hole for flash hinder was tapped crooked so the cap screw is not flush and the trigger is sticky. (2) Both issues raised to Todd but basically blown off as (a) yes it's crooked but you could open the hole up and cement it in and (b) since they only had one batch of sticky triggers it wasn't serious enough for them to return or fix....instead they ship it out to a customer. The quality control is disappointing and so is their response. I wish I could be more excited but these 2 items are so obvious that it really takes away from the experience. If not for them, it would have been 5 stars.

Iconic weapon for a less-civilized time
I received my DL-44 replica, with the extra weathering, and it is truly fantastic. Their attention to detail is fantastic and the weathering just seals the deal. This is hands down the best ANH replica for the money. I am incredibly happy with this product, and the quality of all the parts. I would not hesitate to recommend this to any Star Wars buff.

You want Han Solo's DL 44? You got it!
Though I bought the kit and not the constructed version, this gun I believe will satisfy most if not all Han Solo enthusiasts. I love the weight of the blaster. And the gun metal and craftsmanship of the scope makes this blaster all the more real. I'm very satisfied!

Better than hokie religions and ancient weapons!
I waited quite some time to get this, but it was well worth the wait. You will not find a better replica for this price. I love having this on display in my Star Wars props case. It is very heavy duty and well made. The scope is perfect! I love that it has real optical lenses in it and model number etched on the side. I might end up doing some work on the Denix base to make it a little more like a real Mauser similar to what some others have done on the RPF forums. Other than that it is perfect! Thanks again Todds Costumes.
