Airsoft

Color Marking

For countries with a color marking requirement, we create colored PLA parts and attach them to the muzzle at ¥2,000 per gun.
The color and length of the parts follow the law of the destination country.
No fee is charged for guns that already meet the color marking requirement.

Airsoft guns shipping to countries with a color marking requirement are modified automatically, and the fee is charged with the shipping payment.
There is no need to ask or remind us.

The part can be removed by applying weak heat to the glued surface.
A hair dryer is recommended.
