I thought it might be a sidkit at first glance, but upon closer inspection it very well might be a Coyle kit. Rich could confirm that. The hollowed out buttplate is something I first saw on the metal Sidkit, but not seen how Richard does them now. The ammo is certainly Richard's, especially the magazine with the rifle round.

Thanks Andy Very Happy

The two-part clip with the bullet impression is precisely what made me wonder... Perhaps Rich chimes in...

Listed as a Sidkit in sellers description...
Obviously he has upgraded the basic kit with updated parts.

Not correct, this is what he wrote:

"Sorry for the confusion it's a sidkit I believe but not being 100% sure I labeled coyle too
I bought it about 5 years ago on the RPF forums and have since forgotten the maker
It's full metal body and comes with lighting and bullets
A beautiful kit once finished so I've seen"

And it's listed as a Coyle and Sidkit in the title...

Sidkit Worldcon bolt with probe also had cocking lever as well - all one piece. So this must be a Coyle. Or a mix and match of parts.

Hello I have to offer 1 BLADE RUNNER SIDKIT Metal Pistol with shells full metal frame

However, as time passes, it's actually turning out to be a Heinz 57 model...

Yes exactly, the title says one thing and the description says another... and when questioned the seller admits not to know what kit he's actually selling... It's just confusing...


What's a Heinz 57 model...? Confused

FYI

Heinz 57 is a shortened form of a historical advertising slogan "57 Varieties" by the H. J. Heinz Company located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States. It has come to mean anything that is made from a large number of parts or origins.
