Be weary: the 3 day ship code can take almost 5 days. Mine did.

Yes, they ship in two separate batches to avoid customs issues with the "gun" part, so it's not obviously modifiable into something that lacks the orange tip. (the first thing we modify, of course, LOL)

I tried pulling the plug with the pliers but it just broke off the front part, so the rest of the plug is still stuck. I placed the barrel as far back as it would go and it seems like it's good. How do you know it's all the way back, though?

Nevermind. I tried to pull out the rest of the plug. Of course, it broke off, as well. So, there is still a broken orange ring inside the barrel. But it's better.
I also had a hell of a time getting the scope mount screws into the holes in the body. I finally got them to bite, but geez!

Idk. I had a similar problem with mine. I used sandpaper to even it and a Sharpie to color it in.
After looking at what's out there for DL-44's, my budget, the amount of work needed to build/correct/work on, I've decided to bite the bullet and order the AW airsoft DL-44 from Evike. I considered the DoopyDoo kit, but it lacks moving features. I considered the 3D printed version from Master Blaster but that requires a ton of clean up and sanding. If he sold a "cleaned" version for a few bucks more it may have swayed me. So, I'm going with the AW. Its all metal for the most part, plus it's airsoft, which I love. Order going in this morning.
Edit- ordered.....

Odd, I clicked it and it took me right to the heat sink. Seller says he has both sizes for airsoft and Denix.

I designed one for the m712 but not sure if it's the same size airsoft as this one. I would imagine it has to be but [emoji848]
It's designed after TFA thought which might not be what u are looking for. Just thought I would share the info if interest.
The problem seems to be that the thickness of the body varies from one replica to another. Not all of them are the same, so a grill made for one might not fit another brand of Mauser. What we need is for someone to print an exact replacement for the AW with the clips the stock piece has.

I'm pretty sure the DEC pewter grill is going to fit, but it'll take a little bit of work with the Dremel to force it into place. The airsoft magazine section is thicker than the Denix.
The back side (pictured) fits fine. Going to need to fill in the retention slot from the stock plastic piece somehow.
... but it hits the scope attachment bracket on the other side, and will need to be ground down a bit. (which I have not yet done) Then it should snug in a little closer, which will help close up more of the gap inside.
Bottom. You can see it doesn't fit in super flush, but should still be fine. It'll be better once it can pushed in more flush, but a little more will need to be ground down to get clear of the scope attachment first:
Front. Looks decent from this angle:

Ya I designed my grille for my TFA build on a HFC m712 airsoft. There is a big difference between the denix and the HFC but obviously I'm not sure about the discrepancies between the different models of airsoft mausers themselves. The front of the HFC measures out to 0.905in while the denix is 0.805in. Give or take a thousands of an inch.

Started modding mine:
Just sanded the black powder coat off. Will weather it TFA style.
