SoI picked up a Nuprol Delta AK21. It's a very cool looking gun imo, with its real steel counterpart being very close to the ACR, both conceptually and visually is pretty cool. With the RIF version being based on an m4, it's easy to get parts for. Speaking of, it's not a gun I would recommend anyone run stock, the barrel was in a truly awful state. Much worse than any of my other guns that I hadn't cleaned for about a year. Fortunately I never planned to keep much of the internals, so a new barrel, while annoying that it's necessary, isn't so bad for me. I also got a prowin hop unit and a modify ryukoso flat hop rubber, which will be range and accuracy tested on sunday. But initially it all fits beautifully and the airseal upped my fps by 10.
What I did buy this gun for are its externals, which are wonderful. It's heavy as hell, weighting about 3kgs by itself, being almost full metal, besides grip and stock. If it wasn't heavy enough, I also bought a Nuprol Phantom (Elcan repro) with a fixed 4x zoom, and it's a beautiful optic. Really clear, no perceptual loss of light. The adjustment dial is super stiff so I don't fear it moving at all. 600g though, so it adds a fair bit of weight.
I plan to run this gun as a sneaky build for now, it'll probably end up being a DMR, or a <1.14j quiet build, probably ending up HPA'd at some point in its life. I'm pretty happy with the wrap job I've done, using a jack pyke 3D camo hat as a scope cover, with their tough tape and stealth tape to cover the gun. The true test will be on sunday though. My goal is to surprise a few people.
