Empire EVS and Airsoft ADS

[StuartyAlec]

Ive recently purchased a pair of empire EVS with the intention of running an Exfog unit as seemingly no amount of anti-fog, glasses, goggles etc prevents my humid self from constantly fogging up.

However, with moving to a paintball style mask, being able to cheek weld weapons is more of an issue.
I dont seem to have a problem with my Tac-41 since its got a really low stock. But I think with my M4 its going to require at least a 2 inch riser to make any optics viable, since I cant seem to find a drop stock for the specna arms prime line...

Which RIFs OOTB, do you guys think would work with the empire EVS and optics?
The AK platform looks like its angled stock might work but wondering if you guys have any more ideas for those who run the mask or similar paintball masks?

I dont think that one would work. The new edge/prime has a slightly different spring guide which seems to come out alot farther than the old system used to ?

Gotcha. In that case I'd be looking at the GBRS Hydra style risers. Given the size of the lens on that mask I think you'd struggle with anything that would assume a "normal" cheek weld. Things like the SSG-1 work because they're designed to work with PB goggles for Lycra clad HPA players to slid about on their knees with. Or of course you could just go HPA Hi-Capa with an M4 mag adaptor and give yourself completely to the dark side.

a riser must be the cheapest solution & zero consequences.

I've found the perfect one:

Ok, maybe 1 consequence.

It is airsoft tho so we should be used to hitting SFA!

A rail on top of the AR 15 carry handle makes a good riser

For rifs where this wouldn't be a problem try a MP5K. No need to worry about the stock getting in the way if you don't have a stock

Ah the original high rise optic mount!

Good shout actually, assuming OP wants to be as cool as the rest of us in the carry handle gang.

@StuartyAlec - You posted on my Cults 3D page asking for an updated version of the Specna Drop-stock that I designed a few years back.

Not knowing how far that extension protrudes from the back of the receiver- I eyeballed it to ~40mm and did a (very) quick and dirty stretch job.

Not pretty, but you are free to try it (assuming you have access to a 3D printer) on the understanding that you do not distribute or sell the design/prints. 

No Idea if it'll fit or practical for use, so good luck finding out.
