Sliverback & Ultra,

Thanks for the information. However I am going to take Ultras advice; it will save me some time & money.  Plus I am going to a store, with a hardware section, tomarrow.

Looking at the Grab Bag sabers, I see that there's a choice between PVC and metal. I don't see any PVC hilts elsewhere on the site. Does US make still PVC sabers? Has anyone here personally received a PVC saber from the grab bag?

ultrasabers used to make all PVC sabers until they started to upgrade to all metal sabers check this thread to see some of their PVC sabers http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=919.msg9150#new

We always offered metal sabers since the very beginning.  We were never an all-PVC saber company. 

Due to the demand for sub-100 dollar sabers, we introduced a line of PVC sabers, called E-Series, which quickly became the most popular line of sabers we offered.  In time, we were able to implement revolutionary cost containment techniques on machined aluminum sabers, bringing them down to a price point never before seen in this hobby and still not seen anywhere else.  To this day, the Dominix V2 is the gold standard for saber design featuring an unequaled ratio of cost/quality/delivery.  At that point, the E-Series became redundant since the cost savings of PVC over a much higher quality aluminum hilt was so little.  Thus, the E-Series was phased out.

Although we do not manufacture PVC hilts anymore, we still have many PVC sabers available as Grab Bags.  They will eventually run out, of course, but not anytime soon.  Apparently, paying a small amount more for a metal hilt is by far the most popular option.

Don't worry Ultra, one of these days I'll be glad to take a few of those pvc's off your hands. But no more sabers until I get some steady income.

If you choose any of the options, including color, you will get it.

I've got some of those graflex style grippy things, and I'm going to try my hand at customizing a hilt once I get enough to buy another one.

Would it be possible to get a grab bag and cheekily ask for one with minimal/no grooves towards the pommel for this purpose?

Or should I bite the bullet and risk wrecking a gorgeous looking liberator?
