They are in game. I have guns just like it. Thats a laser, the lovely beast in the middle is an elite, and an ee3 on the end.
I am at work, so i can't post pictures of them, but be assured, they are in game.

Do the guns actually appear like that the elite, EE3 and Laser when stocked and scoped by hand ? Because my local weaponsmith tells me that some guns never show the scope or stock even though it is added (When she handcrafts them).

She is correct, for instance the E-11 will never show a stock or scope.

My alt is a MWS, and to get guns like this they do have to be hand crafted. Like stated above, some options do not show on some guns. Another thing is that only you will see your gun like this, everyone else will see the standard 3d model. So it is possible that many people are running around with guns that look like this to them. Not sure why they can't/havn't implemented it so everyone can see your tricked out gun, they do it with clothes ect. Doesn'tseem like it would add that much bandwidth to the game.

I belive they have to be hand crafted - if made in a factory the stocks and scopes don't show up.

Of all my modified carbines, i only have 1 that actually shows a modification -in this case ascope.
The rest all have non-rendering stocks.

Factory runs do not show the scopes and stocks. Unfortunately factory runs are almost required in running a weapons shop. Otherwise you'd spend all day making weapoons, and they can be inconsistent, where every one from a factory is exactly the same. Once I have the resources to actually open my shop then I plan on doing both, but still the majority of my weapons will be factory runs. As much asI love making weapons, I'd much perfer being out as Otto blasting things

To give ya an idea of why guns done look like this in SWG its a bug. I was a weaponsmith for over 8 months, and here is the bug.... only you can see whether or not one of your weapons(that has to be hand crafted) has a scope or stock on it. IE.... if a weaponsmith puts your gun together by hand using parts that are not in factory crates, then they will show up on finished product to whomever has the item in their inventory. Other people in game cannot see the stock or scope on a gun is the catch. Therefore most people in the weaponsmith community are still, its only been a year and a2 months, wondering what is going on.

While it is probably a bug, it could be for graphics performance reasons along with internet performance reasons.
And hey, if they didn't have bugs in this game then it could fit on ONE CD
