Looking at the pictures, I prefer the look of the Ultrasabers version better. But then again, I don't care about movie accuracy, just the look of it. The only part that looks worse on the Ultrasabers is the activation box, but of course, the Ultrasabers design makes it way more practical, so I prefer the Ultrasabers Graflex in that regard, too. It is a surprisingly comfortable saber.
I'm seriously considering this saber as my next purchase. Do you know how deep the blade socket is? I've also read some complain that the emitter is wobbly; is that true? Anyway, I really like the look of the US grips. I wish they'd put those on a Prophecy.

I do think the blade was wobbly. Of course, the previous owner of the saber screwed the retention screw all the way in until it cracked the polycarbonate, so that may have affected my situation. I'd say the depth is around 2" |

Perhaps the previous owner screwed the retention screw too far in to try to stabilize the blade... Thanks for answering my question. |

Ugh. Who does that u.u The screw only needs to touch the blade slightly but snug enough as to where the blade don't fly out or anything. I do that with all new sabers before reviewing them, I'm just weird like that though  |

I do that with all new sabers before reviewing them, I'm just weird like that though It just happens to be the screw they used. If I planned on using this hilt I would dremel the screw down. |

projectno253, wonderful side-by-side comparison. Having big hands, I actually like the larger dimensions of the US graflex (although I'm still trying to perfect the logistics of spinning; it's a work-in-progress  ). Absolutely wonderful pics, BTW^^ |

The activation box on the Ultra Saber looks so much better IMO.
I just can't stand the square one on the replicas with that weird looking hook on it. Ugh!

Oh I love the details and greeblie bits. Makes everything feel more functional. That hook is the clamp lever that secures the clamp section around the top and bottom of the hilt. Definitely a part of disassembling the lightsaber version of the prop to expose the internals |
