Can someone tell me the point of this stock

[Finius]

Hey folks,

Seen this stock by APS and considering it as a cheap alternative to the stock I really want for my M4 (The G&G Sopmod), as it's much cheaper. But I also noticed, it has a RIS rail on it. Can anyone think why a stock would need a RIS rail? Tactical sideways gangsta mounting of ironsights? Mounting a tactical choccy bar, biscuits (jaffa cakes, because no-one REALLY thinks of them as cakes).

Here's the stock: Oo-er!

Discuss

Silliest suggestion may be utilised if I purchase the stock.

[.:l2 a tt l e S:.]

Never even once seen one of those used in airsoft xD

Where could I get one?

Silly suggestions still welcome

God knows .... try uktactical- they sell a fab defense stock with side picatinny so they may have some, if not try thing like cadet direct.

Otherwise u may have to look abroad.

Nowhere seems to have one, I'll just attach a tactical sink to it instead

 

[M_P]

Haha, I cant think what else u can use it for..... maybe a magpul rsa?

 

[Finius]

Mag....who....?

Sorry, I'm only allowed my gun to have ONE magpul part and eMags

The ones on the side are for mounting mag holders, seen them used and they look.... crap.

BUT you could mount a stock on your stock to make a MULTI STOCK!! You could keep in going and going and going...

 

[M_P]

I suppose you could put a sling point on it

I could only think of a small laser pointing going on there as the APS rifles do not have RIS's this seems to make sense. PEQ box would make it so akward to carry and shoulder

It might be for mounting an Iphone? I know lots of soldiers use Bulletflight, and like to mount the Iphone to the gun for ease of use, although it does look like it's on the wrong side for that...

heres from a site that sells a stock with side rails

'* Side Picatinny rail - allows addition of Adjustable cheek-rest (ACP), mag' pouch (MA16) or shell holder (SSM).'

lasers, peq boxes cheek risers etc.

 

[Cam-the-airsoft-sniper]

Grip pod!

 

[M_P]

lasers, peq boxes cheek risers etc.

Guys let's be serious, lasers and PEQ's won't work there.

Cheek risers full stop!

 

[MZKaleem]

they will marcus, not peq boxes but defo lasers has to be on the right side for a right handed shooter though

 

[M_P]

Yes but its a stupid place, and it'll probably beg blocked by the front end off the gun

 

[MZKaleem]

true, but it can still go there...anyway just take the rails off is you can't justify what it's for? :lol:
