Quoted: Someone is selling it as real gun stock in AR15.com for $170. We will soon find out how tough they are once the real shooters put it throught the real gun recoil. I just hope no one gets hurt. From an AirSoft board, about the repro Crane stocks.

People are putting really money down for something made by [i]Revell[/i]! They are paying the big money for those stocks and will get a rude awakening when they accidently get gun solvent on the plastic and it melts. Also, the metal components aren't made of the proper materials, but from pot metal. Come on guys, Save your money! Pay the $300 when the new Crane stock comes to market or pay the buck twenty to get a Vltor stock, which in my honest opinion is a better stock system. Leave the toys to the kids. ls |

Weird. It works for me.
You might need to load the innoVUE viewer to view the TIFF. Otherwise, try this link: [url=http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=/netahtml/search-adv.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&d=ptxt&S1=6543172&OS=6543172&RS=6543172]Crane Stock[/url] |

My favorite part of the airsoft thread is the guy who said he hopes noone gets hurt. It really does amaze me why someone would spend more money on a questionable copy of something, rather than buy a quality piece like the VLTOR or even a RRA for less money.

Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: I've read that DET-1 is testing various stocks. Nothing about what stock they are actually issued. When it comes to the news stands, pick up the Dec. issue of SWAT. The article really doesn't talk about the Crane that much, although there is a picture or two of it in there. The article mainly focuses on the Magpul MSS, the VLTOR and the Sully stock. It was a simple mistake but I didn't want anybody to get the wrong idea. |

If you really must have it, the illegal Crane copy is selling a little cheaper here:

I think some people are missing the point of the Airsoft copies. They are for AIRSOFT! They are nice copies for airsoft guns, and they should have all the accessories to duplicate what's out there. What I think is wrong is people selling them for use on real firearms, and people buying them and using them on their firearms, when they know they are for airsoft. I don't have a problem with cool airsoft toys and accessories, but if someone uses those items in place of the real thing on a firearm, who's the fool? If someone markets or sells those airsoft items for use on real items, that is just vile.

Quoted: If you really must have it, the illegal Crane copy is selling a little cheaper here: [url]http://www.uncompany.com/pageproduct.asp?subcatid=52[/url] I actually ordered 2 of the Zenith stocks from them a couple days ago, for "investigational purposes". [:)] I couldn't decide between the black and green, so I ordered one of each. I'm pretty curious when it comes to this stuff, and sometimes the only way to know about something for sure is to jump in and take a chance. $27 shipping from Hong Kong and yet unknown customs/import charges make this a little more interesting... I'll post some pics when (if?) they show up. |

Absolutely amazing! After all of this discussion about Airsoft stocks on a real firearm, you go out and buy TWO? I even stated that I've handled an airsoft replica. Let me say again that it was flimsy compared to a real stock. The plastic was AT LEAST half the thickness of my authentic Crane. Plus the airsoft had the locking mechanism problems that we read so much about. I'm sure it would be fine on any airsoft toy, but by your last post I assume you intend to "test" it on a real firearm.

Quoted: Quoted: Crane didn't make the stock, ARMS did. Not to flame here but absolutely none of that is even close to being true ___ All the Crane stocks I've seen were molded/made by Omega Plastics, and then finished in-house at Crane. Kel |

Having had a real beard and not the imitation shown in the pictures, I can affirm that real beard hairs will not pass up any opportunity to get got in something to get yanked out.
Will a VLTOR fit on a Colt Sporter and would it be legal? I'm thinking of making a few mods to the stock gun. Pre-Ban purchased in '90 and registered in CA as a AW so I'm thinking adding a collapsible stock should be legal for both Fed and CA purposes. |
