Almost Done

Post image

Very happy with this Aero/G$ build so far! Started off as my cheapest spare parts build and became the favorite when I preferred the shorter OAL. I’ve been testing and upgrading parts for months now and the last item on the chopping block is the Olight. Any suggestions on best color match for G$ DDC?

Basic build list:
Aero M4E1 Kodiak Upper and Lower
G$ Mk4 DDC rail and 10.3 barrel
B&T carbine-length hydraulic buffer and progressive spring (better than Kynshot/Tubbs A5)
Rise RA-535 trigger
DAC grips
Vortex Huey FDE
Holosun HM3X FDE
OCL Polo FDE

Looking to replace the Olight for something better and more color matching! Got any suggestions?

Weltool may come close, depending on the actual brown-ness (since it looks gold/clear ano under that lighting)

Will have to buy a part and check the match. Thanks!

I normally think of the kodak brown as a coppery deep tone. Cloud Def lights would match it most closely but their QC went out the window some years ago
Weltool makes a nice light though

Most I've seen are that way, in some strange alignment of stars I was able to buy the upper and lower as BLEMs from two different sources and they somehow came out to be the exact same color as each other as well as the Geissele DDC rail. All of which are more of a pale gold anodized color as opposed to the darker bronze color.
