Yes, I know its a known issue.
Is there a trick or anything to get them to show up on the finished product? Atleast show up in the examine window.... anything?
Thank you.

Is there a specific style that always WILL show up though? I seem to remember a long thin black scope always showing up on FWGs, etc.

Component graphics are FUBAR'd to the back end of beyond & back again.
FWG's will sometimes show scopes, sometimes not.
Laser carbines will sometimes show stocks, sometimes not.
I got ONE laser rifle to show BOTH stock & scope & it was SWEET ... all the others I made didn't show jack.

If you hand craft the gun and pull the optional component out of a factory crate before inserting it into the schematic, scopes and stocks will show up, although I believe there are some guns that do not show them regardless of what you do.

Of the weapons I know that show particular components:
Pistols:
- FWG5s show some scopes (but not barrels).
- DX2s I believe can also show some scopes (but not barrels, I think).
- D18s can show a scope and a barrel at once.
- DL44 can show a scope and a barrel at once.
- Scout blasters show nothing ever.
- CDEFs show nothing ever.
- Strikers, Tangles, not sure.
- Power5s probably show barrels, I doubt scopes (they're the same kind of frame as a DL44).
- SR2s I believe show scopes but not barrels.
That's all I can think of for pistols.
For Carbines:
- CDEFs and DH17s can show scopes but not barrels or stocks.
-I THINK E-11s can show scopes, but I'm not sure.
- EE3s can show scopes and stocks, I think, but again, I'm not sure.
That's all I know about carbines.
For Rifles:
- CDEFs show nothing.
- DLT20 shows a barrel and nothing else.
- DLT20a shows nothing.
- I THINK a tusken can show a scope, but I may be wrong.
- T21s I've heard show barrels, but they're sideways or something. Not sure on this.
That's it for rifles.
Basically, as has been said, customized graphics are screwed and there's really no plan to update them, from what I understand. All I want to be able to do is make the weapons look like they do when sitting on weapon crates or up on walls and such in the guild halls. If I can make them look that cool, I'd be a happy man.

Sorry Ehan to pop your bubble, but I've tried various combinations and there seems to be neither rhyme nor reason to the display of components.

Is there a specific style of scope that shows up more? Will style 1 show up more often than style 6 perhaps?

lol .. go for it .. pop away. :-p Heh .. as my best friend used to so aptly put it ..
Do you know what is worse than something that is broken?
Something that only worksPART of the time.
I guess I just got lucky on the guns I tried. On each one that I hand crafted where I removed the scope or stock from the factory crate before adding it to the schematic, the end product showed the optional component visually.

I did notice that I have been able to get an E11 carbine to show a scope but not an E11 rifle... sense.. none.. oh well.. i'm sure it's at the bottom of the list to be fixed amongst other things.

Like it has been stated before, in order for any stock, barrel, or scope to appear you must hand craft the item with all parts out of their crates.
The above list of pistols seems accurate especially for the republic and scout. Nothing shows up on them.
I routinely make DL44 metal pistols with a black barrel and black scope. Looks very sweet. I also have a constant demand for stocked and scoped laser rifles and carbines. The rifles even show an extra barrel though it's always the same no matter what type i've chosen. The carbine looks vaguely like an M16. I also just made a stocked/scoped DXR6 that looks very odd and not unlike the picture posted of the disruptor rifle.
One thing to note. The graphics don't show up on the vendor. I had to pull a gun from the vendor and hand it to a customer to prove this. Additionally, the customer could see the items when he equiped it but I couldn't.

yeah, wish the components would show up....they look really nice when they do.
Only thing to keep in mind for now is HAND-MADE shows components FACTORY-MADE does not
