Title: Okay, here it is. The first of probably many.... Post by: SerenityActual on January 27, 2019, 01:53:38 AM My first US came in today. It was a Dark Initiate, windowed with an AV switch, green color. With the initial JD.
Okay what is an AV switch, and who/what is JD? The person who packaged it? I also received a blade plug because I thought it was a good investment, but it is a little big for the saber.

The AV switch is an upgrade, JD is the person who packaged it and a blade plug is always a good investment.

Yes, that switch is a nice upgrade. Is the plug too long, or too short? +1 regardless. :) (this belongs in the Gallery section though) ;) Title: Re: Okay, here it is. The first of probably many.... Post by: SerenityActual on January 27, 2019, 05:23:47 PM The plug is about 1/4 inch too long for the hilt, if the plug is supposed to be flush with the emitter opening. It doesn't matter. It is a great first blade. My only question is, can you add a covertech wheel to it? If not, how do you hang it from your belt?
Title: Re: Okay, here it is. The first of probably many.... Post by: Rapine on January 27, 2019, 06:27:40 PM The plug can be shortened by sanding it down.
Mark it, then place an entire sheet of medium sand paper on a flat surface. Stand the plug vertically on the sand paper, and sand it down with circular motions. That will go quick, and keep everything even. :) Adding a covertech is a bit tougher. You'd need to drill and tap a hole for that. 8-32 thread. Title: Re: Okay, here it is.

Post by: Zren Tobas on January 27, 2019, 11:31:31 AM Nice first saber for sure and with a green blade too =] Yeah for my Crimson Savior it does kinda bug me any blade plugs don't sit flush with the emitter but not too too much, I don't mind when my blade color can be seen while wearing it out and stuff if I wanna show it off :P
Title: Re: Okay, here it is. The first of probably many.... Post by: ThreadJack on January 27, 2019, 07:37:28 PM Nice first saber! I got a similar one in my mystery box, Dominix V4(The longer "growm up version of your hilt) LE in Arctic Blue, with the AV switch. :)
I'm looking at an Initiate or Apprentice now. Title: Re: Okay, here it is. The first of probably many.... Post by: imgumby001dammit on January 28, 2019, 02:33:28 PM Great grab bub! And yes, welcome to the obsession...point
