Will Aisoft M4 Stocks fit Real Steel?

[Jayhamman]

Specificly The Vltor style stock on the DragonRed airsoft site. Does anyone know if airsoft stocks will slide over a real steel buffer tube?

Some will some won't. Not all brands are 100% the same internal diameter.

no. ive tried this. only if you have a milspe tube it MAY work, but if you have the civ tube its just a shade too big.

There are very few airsoft guns that will take a real buffer tube. A milspec buffer tube is 1.146" diameter, and a commercial buffer tube is 1.17" diameter. If you measure your airsoft buffer tube and it falls within this range, then a real stock might work, maybe.

If you are thinking about putting an airsoft stock on a real AR, you risk injury at the very least. The only one I'd even think about putting on an AR would be Magpul PTS stocks, and definately not some China-clone.

You are right, most stocks are just crappy plastic that can break from a single recol shot from a RS. The internals of some stocks are not powerful enough to line up with the stock position settings.

Jayhamman, why not just buy a RS stock? They aren't that expensive. If you can afford a RS, you can afford to buy quality parts, not replicas.
