Check out these two sites:

http://www.collectorsempire.com/parts/Main.htm (click on the purple "Item" button at the bottom of the page)
[This site details how the films' original props were created based on real-world weapons and gadgets. Covers "Star Wars," "Empire" and "Jedi" versions of the HS blaster, among others.]

and

http://www.frontiernet.net/~lv426/replicaguns.html

(The guy who runs this site used to offer nice conversions of the replica 1896 broomhandle mauser, but I don't see them listed anymore. You might try contacting him directly at:
Empire Kollectables - 48 Decker Dr. - Washingtonville NY 10992
Ph: (914) 496-2817 Fax:(914)496-2817 Hrs. 11am-5pm EST weekdays.)

I'm not affiliated with either site, but the first has great, photo-illustrated information, and I had a good experience with the second. Caveat emptor, as always.
