Its actually a DLT19 with a scope. Sometimes called a T28 sniper rifle with the novels...and called a DC-15x in the games.
The DLT19 isn't a MG42, its actually an MG34 with a modified barrel (among other things). Alot of 501st members who wish to make the T28 sniper rifle, simply use an MG34 and mount a scope on it. If accuracy isn't really important, you can use an MG42 base and mount a scope on it.
If you start this project, pls update here with pics. Would be interesting to follow.

HyBRiD, just realized it would be really cool to troop in your Biker Scout with a sniper rifle - Imperial Recon Sniper!

yeah but well it's not movie accurate because scouts don't have sniper rifles so i suppose it won't be in use for official trooping. i've managed to get the blueprints off the net, anyone has any contacts to get this done please let me know. best to make this fall to 2 - 3 parts for storage!!
MG34
MG42
this website has the parts. don't know much don't think can get through customs

You might want to check with Erase on Hyperfirm MG34s - made of stunt rubber, light-weight and extremely realistic looking. Best of all, can be brought into Singapore. The scope can be canabalized from any toy rifle with a sniper-like scope.

I've actually brought in a couple of MG34s and a DC15 rifle. What A&E (Arms and Explosives) look out for is if the rifle is hollow with moving parts, esp a moving trigger mechanism. That is why the MR E-11 cant be brought in. Hyperfirm has no issue as its completely solid with no moving or hollow parts.
So far we've been ordering the MG34s bcos no one makes them here...yet. We do have someone here that makes a really nice DC15 rifle though!

Hyperfirm comes from the US. Check with Erase - he's one of the moderators here and happens to the Captain of the Guard with the 501st Legion. He carries his MG34 when in Sandtrooper armor.
