Star Trek: First Contact Phaser Rifle
Prop Kit Assembly Manual
Thank you for your purchase of the Roddenberry.com Star Trek: First Contact Phaser Rifle Prop Kit,
also as used in Star Trek: Insurrection and as the base for the modified rifle from Star Trek: Nemesis.
This is the first time a kit of the First Contact "round-nose" rifle produced using the original master tooling has been
made available, and will produce a static non-electronic prop that's light in weight due to casting the rifle hollow.
Neither electronics nor a carry strap are included. Details for purchasing and installing
simple electronics with modification of the phaser rifle are at Pagse 6 of the instructions.
Modifications to make a Nemesis rifle are not covered in this kit or instruction book.
Optional instructions not strictly necessary for the completion of the basic rifle prop are in blue italics.
