not quite correct.
just to put it right:
the jawa ion rifle, the spraystick, the sg82 and all pistols are missing the optional weapon stock.
the jawa ion rifle, the spraystick, the sg82, the t21, the flamer and the tangle pistol are missing the optional weapon scope.
(CDEF-Weapons do not have any components, so they cant have scope or stock)

I posted this to my on flurry forum for our weaponsmiths over there. But I thought I should also ask the question here, wanting to see if anyone have experience with the results of making a weapon with the Imp retreat looted high caliber rifle barrel, scope, and form fitting stocks.
***posted on the flurry forum***
Question to all the Master Weaponsmiths:
If I can get 5 identical high caliber rifle barrels, 5 identical scope, and 5 identical form fitting stock, is that enough to get a crate of 4 weapons made?
Or would it be better to commission 5 individually hand crafted weapons to be made? Which method would be better to ensure a good quality weapon before I take it to a slicer?
And would any Master Weaponsmith be willing to be payed in extra imp weapon components instead of credits for the material cost? (I'm starting to collect lots of the component loot, and obviously some lots are bigger, so I would have some straggler pieces left.)
Why I'm asking:
Looking to get some weapons made down the road. I currently have some imp stocks, and working on a deal for the high caliber rifle barrels. Then I'll have to go find some scopes.
Additonal question:
To verify my understanding, please confirm that the following weapons will accept the barrels, scopes, and stocks.
1. Flamethrower
2. HAR (yeah, I know, it's a waste of time and effort. lol...)
3. Elite, Laser, DXR6, EE3, E11, enhance E11 carbine.
Final question:
Have anyone have built a weapon with all three of the looted components? How much improvement does it bring to the final weapon stats? I've seen Krayted Elite Carbine built with the imp stock, which is very impressive. Wish I had the credits for the krayt pieces. I can only manage deals for the weapon components. I'm wondering what sorts of stats can be obtained on a good flamethrower or speeds can be had on an enhanced e11 carbine.

Two quick points.
- There is no such thing asa "high caliber rifle barrel". There IS a loot projectile rifle barrel, but the only weapon that currently uses this component is the Tusken rifle. There are no loot drops (that I've heard of) for blaster rifle barrels.
- The flamethrower cannot have a scope.
At present, the only weapon that could have all 3 components you mention would be a Tusken rifle. Rather pointless, IMHO. The form-fitted stocks can go on every carbine or rifle (except the SG82, I think), as well as the flamer and HAR. The precision scopes can go on every carbine or rifle (with the exception of the T21), plus the HAR (not the flamer).
The only loot barrels at present are for pistols, and no pistol takes a stock (though you can add scopes to everything but the Tangle, as I recall).
With all of that said, I imagine you could find some weaponsmiths willing to do this in exchange for some of the looted components for their own use. I know I would certainly consider it, though it would depend on (a) what pieces and (b) how many.
