uh yeah so back to the original point of this post, which was to learn whether or not airsoft stocks fit and how well they function. Im interested as well and im not going to put a $200 sopmod stock on a dedicated .22 range gun. |

i actually played airsoft semi-pro for about a year, and believe it or not, even though they are "toy" parts, you would be thoroughly surprised at their quality. they can make high grade "toy" parts.... just because it wasnt built for its RS counterpart doesn't mean it wont function on one. i actually had the magpul PRS sniper stock on one of my M4 style airsoft weapons, and it is beefier than hell. it was dropped, banged, hit on stuff, and torn up by the time i retired the hobby of airsoft. and it still performed A+
as far as if it would fit on a RS, im not sure. but as far as function and performance, im sure that for the price conscious consumer, that this will work fine, if it were to indeed fit |

I love advice from folks who don't know the first fucking thing about thermoplastics, metal fatigue, .2% yield point, low temperature creep, impact resistance, or toughness.
Sometimes a part is WAY over-designed for it's mission. Sometimes a cheap part will function fine in a light-duty application. Sometimes break-and-replace is an acceptable mission feature. The OP did not say he was going to deploy with this gun. He clearly said he was looking to save some money. If it breaks, it breaks, and next time he will evaluate his decision in light of his new experience. |

Don't knock airsoft.
I sold all my shit to build my first AR and the lower half of my second. 
But for the OP: at least the TM airsoft M4 i had was quite solid. BUT, many of them are built so that you cant put a whole lot of actual gun parts on them. I don't know much about the PRS (real or airsoft), But a guy i played with had one on his "SPR", and it seemed to screw onto the end of the buffer tube just like the real thing. Its $60. If it doesn't fit stick it on egay. I just had a simple M4 with an ACOG knock off which was pretty neat. I liked to run and gun. And yes i did put it on my real AR and it rattle off into pieces before i put a whole mag through it. |

Its once people start saying stuff like 'semi-pro' that the merriment begins. (And the love of stolen intellectual property doesn't help much either.) |

Just make sure that the part you are buying fits an airsoft rifle built 1:1 scale with a real M4. Some of them are slightly larger so I don't know if the parts will fit.

I don't understand this childish ARFcom hate for airsoft. It has brought a lot of kids into the black rifle hobby and pays homage to the men and women in harm's way.
Get over it, guys. It's fun. It's a hobby. Who cares how much people spend on it? People spend way more money on off-road vehicles, snowmobiles, etc., which are usually used for pointless, noisy, polluting, dangerous, destination-less, transportation. p.s. I own two spring-powered airsoft 1911s that were part of my gf's halloween costume (Lara Croft  ) and I like snowmobiling and off-roading, though I haven't spent a dime on either in the last few years.

On a similar note, I was looking for parts for my GSG5 and came across an airsoft e-tailer that has a section dedicated to those very parts. I've also seen mention made here (AR15.com) where folks have actually used airsoft parts on AR's/AK's/etc. I believe I actually read that Magpul actually licenses and/or produces parts for airsoft guns?

dude airsoft is good times. i was smart about what and how i bought, and ended up making $1000 off all of my weapons and gear, thats profit. its got a huge community and some buy super high end stuff. if you keep your eyes open and find a fantastic deal then turn around and sell it for more, you can make quite a nice lump of money. i bought a springfield .45, and two del-ton ar's with the money i made from selling my stuff.
certain airsoft parts would work fine on the range. i have no idea if it would fit or not, but like previously stated, you could always try and if it doesn't, sell it. always lots of people willing to buy that stuff. i say give it a go, its only $60. |

I'm not sure I care for my Magpul PRS anymore, except maybe to use for my Bohica .50 bmg Upper if it ever arrives.
I have a receiver with a PRS and a Panther Grip and it weighs 2lbs more than a standard carbine receiver. Its also way too long. I can't get my nose on charging handle without moving my foreword grip all the way back to the magazine well, thus preventing me from breaking the gun all the way open in addition to rubbing my knuckles raw. Get a Magpul CTR, it costs less and weighs less. I thought the PRS looked cool, but when you have it for a year or so, you might realize its not very practical unless you need the added weight to help reduce the effects of recoil. 2lbs heavier. Can't adjust to fit my shooting stance. 
The CTR cheaper, lighter, strong, and adjustable. Can adjust for my unique weld.
