Not all that recent but ive only just got all the parts to get it working. Daewoo k2 from toystar. Just need to repaint the flash hider.

Yeah I went with Red+IR mostly because most sites don't allow green/blue lasers (plus its cheaper I think). Honestly the perst 4 is way better than G&P dbal in many ways and you might as well save and pay double for perst 4 because it is very much worth the extra costs. Firstly the perst-4 actually allows eye safe power output (I believe it goes down to 0.7mw) which is plenty for the ranges in airsoft and so no risk of hurting someone. Secondly, it shows a red indicator light on the back when red laser is on but more importantly a blue light when IR is on which is important as so many times I see people with IR lasers on and they don't even realise (super dangerous as well). You can crank the power output to 20mW (while dbal is 5mW I believe). Also my DBAL dies just from a bit of rain and the connection port feels really flimsy and easy to break/bend. Also, the red laser is slaved to the IR and so you can zero both with just the red laser in daytime (not a feature with G&P dbal). Also theres a pressure button ontop and at the back of the perst-4 whereas Dbal has only one small button ontop. Also I found switching the settings on the DBAL in the dark to be difficult and hard to memorise as theres so many options, this is simplified with perst 4. TLDR: for the love that is all holy, DBAL is like a paperweight compared to perst4, save your money and buy the latter. Also, buy from ebay, the postage is cheaper and customs didn't hold mine hostage (came in 1.5 weeks).

Decided to bite the bullet and paint a couple of my guns... Before & after shots..

Second play with camo pens. Quite happy with the result.

Me right now...

I think we lack a thread for the more creative and technical side of things like homemade accessories and 3D printing/CAD. So... what have you made? Or, are making right now? Can be anything from cutting and filing some mask to suit you, to more grandiose projects like making your own ghillie suit, or some 3D CAD model of yet another M4 handguard. Concepts and ideas are cool too if you have something to visualize it. I guess I'll start: Made a lightweight outer barrel for an M4 from scratch in fusion360: Gonna make a lightweight handguard to pair with it and then print them both in a bronze/copper finish. Dramatic weight losses inc.

You are correct, I'll relocate it to the EU section. Of the Asian retailers do you mean? I use quite a few of them, I think the only ones I have never ordered from are airsoft-asia, Tactifans, ebair, Taiwan gun, jkarmy and uncompany. Honestly I probably order 70-80% of accessories and parts from Asian shops if i'm not in a hurry. Recommended list... ehobby - were the largest airsoft eBay shop in the mid 2000s, until they went over completely to their own site - excellent service, though their item range is not what it used to be. WGC - pretty good, often have little bits that no one else seems to have. Good for body kits.. that type of thing. Airsoft Global - bought my first proper AEG from these guys in 2005, I remember them being pretty helpful with the customs paperwork and advice. Khmountain - very good, also have an eBay shop, often purchase gearbox components from them. gunnerairsoft - not used them in many years but they were one of the OG ACM AEG sellers... it was them and rsov back in the day, they're still around... rsov aint! Tiger111... so these guys have a massive range, their comms and staff are helpful (ask for Konvict) - however.... their stock keeping is the worst i have ever seen. I have on no less than 5 orders been told that something they clearly list as in stock is actually not - they'll give you options including partial refund but its just so annoying!!! But their prices seem a shade better than some of their competitors.. bit of a toss up.

cool..just ordered the K1 kit

Thanks for this! Ordered through EBay so hoping as you say will be delivered fairly quickly Now awaiting the RIF which it will be attached too!

Monos are about the half the price and arguably more flexible/modular so im jealous too! Is this on your radar? https://atrg.blog/2019/11/16/accessory-review-acm-m300v-scout-light-white-and-ir-version/

Was looking for a replacement for the G&P DBAL. So went for the Zenitco P4 just now. Thanks Lasbrisas17 for showing me such things.. (DBAL for sale 🙃)

@Cyberlawyer I personally run a 6.05 in my SRS Silver back. It gives more accuracy over range. 6.03’s are usually good in a normal circumstance. Plus I’ve always herd good things with Orga. But worlds your oyster. Also bare in mind you want a barrel with good bore quality. This weekend I’ve updated the paint on my Mk18 Mod 1. I wasn’t happy with the first results. Too pale. This has much more character and depth. And all the weathering is deliberate 😁 Just waiting for some more stock magazines, Angry Gun high speed bolt. (Thinking the bronze BCM one) and maybe start thinking about upgrading the trigger box to full steel.

I bought mine from ebay its the newest version of the perst-4 they changed the electronics and plug socket in January (it now accepts KB-5ПУ pressure pad), but has the same features as older versions. Heres a video on the updated perst-4 The weapon light is just a surefire clone (Night Evolution M600C Scout Light) with an IR filter attached.

My first one came from here with no problems so ordered my second from the same place. http://emperionstore.com/npas-kit-for-tokyo-marui-mws-gbb-ra-tech.html

Gets maxx hop unit Fits up nice, good bit of kit Goes to test And of course its a windy day...

Very nice! I have mine on the way from the motherland as well Which variant did you go for? Also, what's the weapon light you have - Looks like a beast?

Im gonna end up breaking these i just know it

Zenitco Perst4 (New Jan 2020 Model):

Well had 2nd thoughts about selling the Daniel Defence rail...found I could use shimms, so ordered some and after numerous trial and error with the shimms and the tiny hex bolts (and lots of swearing) I managed to get the rail to fit and locked tight, with no wobble and the barrel is almost perfectly aligned. (The rail sits about 1/2 mm higher then the upper receiver rail..but I think I can live with that...coz it's a toy gun! lol.. Got some new rail covers coming and picking up (hopefully) a Vortex Red dot & magnifier as the Shooting Show @ the NEC this weekend. Then will paint the bugger I think. Might think about a Mk16 rail futher down the line for a more streamlined profile..or go back to the original M4 if I feel like it.
