Stock change help

[AirsoftRegan]

Hi guys so I’m looking to turn my .308 rifle into a sort of SR25 design. At the moment it has a crane m4 stock on but I am looking to change it over to a sort of m16/SR25 type stock. I’ve watched some videos online on how to change. Stock but I’m not sure the m16 stock requires a buffer tube. Does anyone have any advice or videos they could share on how to swap an m4 stock to an m16/SR25 stock

OK, you'll need 1) your chosen stock, 2) a long ass stock screw (might not come with the stock), 3) a suitable sling plate (something like this one is good https://www.fire-support.co.uk/product/kingarms-metal-rear-sling-adapter-m16-solid-stock)

 

The reason for the sling plate is that the M16 style stock has a step in the front end:

 

You'll need that plate in there to keep the stock solid when you screw it on.

 

Then it's just a case of pulling your wiring through (you may need to extend it or get an adaptor) and screw the stock on with that long ass screw!

Also - I have a handguard for sale if you want to make it more "SR-25ey"

oh wow it’s just that simple; do you recommend any specific brand of m16 stock, do you mind if I see a photo of you weapon to see how the stock looks

Sure, mine's a MK12 built with an E&C M4 receiver but the stock was second hand. There is a Cyma one that has the adjustable stock plate that is a bit more SR25 accurate though.

 

This one comes with all the parts you'd need: https://www.davescustomairsoft.co.uk/external-parts/stocks-and-stock-related/cyma-m4-m16-aeg-full-stock-with-adjustable-butt-pad.html

If you need a stock ring, I have one spare as cannibalised two stocks for my SR25.
