My Growing Collection

[Silent_Saber77]

Had a lot of pics to post so I figured I would just start a new thread if that's ok, and I certainly intend to add more pics to it later on .  Anyway, I've made a few slight changes to a couple of my sabers and am finally ready to show them off.  So far I own a Graflex SE(Obsidian V4 Soundboard with Arctic-Blue Blade), a Chosen One SE(Obsidian V4 Soundboard with Blazing-Red Blade), an Archon v3.1(Obsidian V4 with Consular-Green Blade), and a Dark Initiate V4 with a Dark Shock Pommel(Stunt Saber with Guardian-Blue Blade).  The Chosen One SE was my first REAL Ultrasaber and I was freakin' addicted once I got my hands on it.  I knew then that I just had to have more haha.  BTW, I had a heck of a time figuring out how I was going to add a d-ring to the Graflex SE.  For anybody who is curious, I ordered a d-ring from TCSS and mounted it directly to the pommel, through one of the sound-holes, by using an 1/8 inch screw(allen-wrench head) and a 1/8 inch nut on the inside of the pommel.  I then put a thin rubber o-ring around the inside of the pommel so I could tighten it and position it so that the d-ring was lined up with the activation box as it was on the screen-used saber, if I'm not mistaken.  I'll post pics of exactly what I did to help any others looking for an easy way to add a d-ring.

Nice little collection you have so far

Really nice collection you have. What's up next?

[Silent_Saber77]

Thanks!  As for what's next, I'm planning on getting a Prophecy V3 whenever they're back in stock and giving it an Anakin AOTC makeover.  I also have a replica Graflex clamp on the way for my Archon V3.1 to make it resemble Luke's V2 saber from ROTJ.

Nice. I want to do that same thing to a Monarch to make it wearable I always thought those holes had to be threaded though for the screw to work. Guess not Now I know what to do. The middle sound hole on the Monarch pommel is a bit thicker though, or I could try with one of the side holes like you did to see if I like the way it hangs. Are those blade plugs plenty long enough for our sabers? Was thinking of getting a Sidious plug from somewhere else too so. 1.5 inches doesn't seem very long to me blade plug length wise x.x

First off, thanks for the compliments everybody!  Most hardware stores have those allen head screws in many different lengths and sizes btw, so you should definitely be able to find one and a corresponding nut to work for a d-ring on your saber .  The blade plugs I use are 1.5 inches long as well, and though the screw tightens into it pretty close to the bottom of the plug, they are still plenty long enough to tighten into place with the blade retention screw.  You pretty much just need to measure how far down your sabers body the retention screw is located and if it's under the length of the blade-plug you wish to use, you should be fine.  I'd post where I purchased mine, but I'm not absolutely sure whether that is allowed or not.

Oh okay. I think the US's plugs are 2.25 inches long so that's why I was wondering. So for something like a Mantis or something those plugs probably wouldn't fit all that great. We can talk about TCSS stuff so Just little bits like this though shouldn't be a problem. I talk about when I make my own blades all the time I plan to make a few enhanced blades at some point too, always liked how they glowed. Got to try a blue enhanced blade on my Arctic Blue Overlord and fell in love with that combo I know they're all thin wall but I don't hit hard anyway when I duel even though any of the 1 inch blades can take a pretty good beating

I just went ahead and got me their plain prequel trilogy looking blade plug. Wish US's would add a new design like that Would be cool for sure. Will post it in one of my sabers with the new plug when it comes in =]

Looking forward to seeing it!  I love the standard Ultrasabers blade plug myself, but there's a huge aftermarket for blade plugs out there, all kinds of cool ones to choose from.  Just make sure they're are 1 inch in diameter before you buy, because some of them are 7/8 instead and those won't be compatible with Ultrasabers emitters, which are all 1 inch as far as I know.

Didn't realize you had your Graflex in sort of A New Hope configuration If you want to further it even more you can get a glass eye for the front silver button, those do fit the US's Graflex so =] My blade plug does fit a few of my sabers pretty good but not my Overlord though, too short for that one. Had to make a 1 inch adapter for it though for I think a 7/8 inch was sent by mistake but its cool, now glows on the outer edges like most blade plugs do so has a cooler look to me now Kind of how I want my Graflex whenever I get me one actually. Gonna get me a couple new sabers in a few months that's much needed so

I made it as close to the A New Hope version as I possibly could, I'll definitely check out the glass eye btw.  I do HIGHLY recommend the Graflex if you're considering it, it's a beauty for sure!  I also have an update:  FINALLY got ahold of a Hero v2 Graflex clamp for my Archon v3.1.  It takes it to a whole new level .  Scratched the crap out of the bottom of the saber getting it on, but thanks to some patience and high-grit sandpaper, I was able to polish it back pretty close to it's former shine.

Outstanding mod SS! The Archon v3 is my personal favorite and the Graflex clamp addition is the culmination of perfection for that saber hilt IMO 

Wonderful job!  Point!
