Fitment
This FAQ page is intended to address the elephant in the room:
Fitment
Threaded Parts
The parts offered at Corvus Saber Foundry (CSF) have been foremost designed to be compatible with the Nexus/LGT Variable Hilt Component system (VHC) and VHC adjacent offerings available from LGT, Nexus, Damiensabers, and a variety of retailers such as Vire Sabers, Padawan Outpost and others. CSF parts are also compatible with TXQ Modular options as well. Reach out to your preferred vendor to inquire about their specifications and determine fitment!
Efforts have been taken to make sure measurements and tolerances align as closely as possible to ensure a satisfactory experience. While CSF parts were designed to be compatible with a majority of VHC parts and consistent with precise manufacturing specifications, we acknowledge that not all VHC or VHC tangential parts in circulation share the same level of precision. This variance in fitment can be influenced by manufacturing tolerances, variations in concentricity, to a thickening of the threads due to anodizing. We likewise acknowledge that variances in both CSF and non-CSF parts may cause CSF parts to perform unsatisfactorily.
Recent adjustments to CSF thread design has eliminated previous threading issues. While our tolerances are very strict, we cannot rule out the possibility that changes in VHC parts may re-create this issue.
If your non-CSF parts have significant changes, damage, or galling to the threading, CSF parts may not perform satisfactorily. Please ensure your non-CSF part threads are clean, undamaged, and the diameter is consistent before installation. We also recommend using a dielectric grease on all raw aluminum to raw aluminum thread contact points.
If a user experiences any resistance during installation of CSF parts: the user is advised to immediately stop, remove the part if possible, and contact the CSF team for assistance. CSF cannot be liable for parts damaged by negligence or failure to heed the warning signs of impending damage.
Accent Rings
Accent rings are designed to be compatible with a majority of VHC parts consistent with a diameter of 33mm. If your saber has significant changes in outer diameter in the area you wish to mount a ring, this part may fit, but may not perform satisfactorily or visually. Please measure the outer diameter of your saber to verify fit.
Similar to shim rings, it is important to ensure your Accent Rings are seated properly on the friction surface of the receiving part of your saber. Improper installation may cause ring failure and or unsatisfactory performance of both parts.
Shrouds
Shrouds compliment and expand the options of the LGT and Nexus - VHC system, giving you wider customization options for a personalized saber. While designed primarily for compatibility with LGT and Nexus sabers, testing has shown these shrouds may fit other manufacturers of similar design, dimension, and format. We suggest you do your own experimentations!
Please note that this shroud was designed to be compatible with a majority of VHC parts; these parts tend to maintain a consistent outer diameter. If your saber has significant changes or variances in outer diameter in the area you wish to mount this shroud, this part may not perform satisfactorily.
