The grenade barrel IS NOT part of a ROTJ build. The grenade actually sits inside the top portion of your hilt. Your heatsink/LED unit goes in there. Your only options are ANH, ESB, TFA. Hope that made sense. If you're looking for an ROTJ hilt...you may want to get SaberForge's Prodigal Son.
Maybe my lack of hands-on crafting skills results with my failure to comprehend but with reference to following taken from Parks website:
EDIT:
EDIT:
I interpret that as an external feature rather a piece that sits inside? Seems like unnecessary machining to anodise black and have silver accents for a piece that isn't revealed. Based on appearance only, apart from the threads on the end, the OD looks identical to the bunny-eared cover preventing a slide-over?
Let's say I am entirely wrong and the Graflex 2.0 Kit is for ANH, ESB & TFA only what does the reference to ROTJ mean and purpose of this part as it's not a visible piece in Eps 4/5 & 7?
Thank you for your patience with having to dumb-it down for me.

I suspected as such but without any validation. Makes sense it's via the switch box otherwise it serves no purpose other than aesthetics and relevance to plot Sabers are crafted for function and practicality rather than prettiness with bells & whistles.
Over at another forum I saw a guy who made the switch at the activation box using two of those little test switches that come with the momentary to latching converter board from TCSS.
I'm not familiar with these switches but I do recall seeing a video (have been tirelessly searching for it again for identity and origins but to no avail) where two small buttons were set on either side of the switch box for activation & aux but not actually from the switch box plate.
Perhaps button activation is the norm with the ESB Graflex..?
Thank you both for sharing and with assisting a bag-o-nuts to understand.
