Congrats.
Don't worry too much about making advanced blaster rifle barrels... you'll see a 2 or 3 point damage increase, with a speed decrease, and an ideal range increase. Not a major difference for most customers. In fact, the speed loss might be a liability (no matter how slight)

OMG!!!! I never even realised there was such a small difference! The last crafting prof I did was doctor, and i realised how much better advanced controllers were then. It seemed only natural to me that advanced weapon components would be greatly superior, but if its only a few points of damage its hardly worth it. Thanks! Now I've just got to worry about ABPH.
P.S. Does that apply to any other components?

for components:
Advanced Reinforcement Cores are better, Advanced Sword Cores are better, Advanced Power Handlers are better, Advanced Weapon Stocks are better, Advanced Projectile Pistol Barrels are better, Advanced Projectile Rifle Barrels are better
Advanced scopes are iffy. If you want to minimize the HAM on the scopes, regular scopes are better. If HAM isn't an issue, and you want max range, then advanced scopes are better.
Advanced Blaster Rifle Barrels and Advanced Blaster Pistol Barrels : Speed will take a hit, damage increase is minor, however range increase is pretty big.

If you have super good resources for the advanced scopes. You will notice the bonus. The ham costs are reduced off initial experimentation, and you have a better starting range mod.
970 chromium 991 polymer 779 green diamond. Plus fourty two to ideal or plus 18 to wound. Starting stats 21 ham 12 range, at two points a whack you can easily match a basic scope on the ham, and still do great on the range. Comeon green diamond get up there. Want to start at 29 and not 27
I am guessing if all things were perfect you might get a plus fifty to range or plus 20 to wound, and might even start off with nineteen ham.
I have noticed that the abph are very forgiveing So do not be overly concerned with the quality of resources. You will start out higher anyway, and still be comparable. Started with garbage polymer and irolunn. Got 16 31 got better irolunn and fantastic polymer am now at 18 34. So absolutely imparative that you get the resources no matter how crumby.

No... the lowest you can get the HAM on an advanced scope is 1/1/1. You can get regular scopes to 0/0/0

I have advanced scopes dwn to 0,0,0 HAM, so it is possible i believe my green diamond gems are 895 OQall the rest of the resources used are in high 900's kind of cool adding a scope that addssome to range and wound with no HAM penalty hehe just wish they would fix the image so it showwed the actual scope on all weapons that can have a scope when they areadded...
