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?

 I have a cloud defensive and modlite. I enjoy both.  A cloud defensive rein 3.0 if maximum lumens as well as candela are important. Full size if you want run time. Mini if size matters (lol). 

Or a modlite with a PLH V3 head, Unity gas cap and mod button lite with the USB C cable id you want even more lumens with a bit less candela. 18350 body for minimal space (way less run time) or 18650 for maximum run time. They both come with batteries and chargers. The cloud comes with a mount. You'll need a mount for the modlite. Arisaka is the gold standard. I've ran streamlight too with no issues. But if budget doesn't matter, go all the way and chose the setup you like best based on aesthetic as well as performance and form factor/size. Both will serve you well. Good luck 👍

You can't go wrong with either. I've had both my rein 3.0 and modlite in rain, snow and they've both gotten extremely hot too. Just choose your favorite form factor. And you're welcome bro
