Apparently somebody purchased the leftovers from Peter Hauk, as they were on eBay a few months ago. I picked up this head, looked to be a 6P format. I purchased a Fivemega body and tail for it, looks pretty good together.
On the head, it didn't fit exactly, and looking into it further showed that it was actually out of round. That would explain the damage to the sides. Oh well, I ran a 20tpi tap through it, and it fits better. Not awesome, but perfectly serviceable.
It's a weapon-mount head, with the old school foam buffer, I like the way it looks!
The downside is that the glass was originally press-fit. I had to purchase some acrylic lenses and set them up in the lathe to slightly reduce the diameter so I could press it in. I broke a couple getting the dimensions correct, but I think it worked out quite well. On to the images!
