Thanks again and glad you were not hurt ....I am sure some would act a little more polite in person though..
I appreciate your openness...
It's refreshing to see nice people sometimes!
Your answer:.... if you guys had actually had bothered to read the original thread, they purchased the airsoft copy and discovered that the 'airsoft' ones were in fact true EMA manufactured kits and were in fact designed for real firearm use.
Dunno why, either the retailer screwed up or the the theory that CAA is trying to get rid of the EMA branded kits be selling them as airsoft ones is true, but that obviously isn't going to hold true for all the kits they have now is it?

Z. I'm still confused As to exactly when you discovered some were authentic ema's. How was that substantiated? Apologies if I missed it in the thread, but I didnt see where anyone had 100 percent proof positive evidence that airsoft guys were selling off surplus real Ronis?
Did CAA or EMA Tactical admit to selling off old inventory, or was that a theory?
Wouldn't be too hard to copy the Roni and leave logos intact.

I think you're mistaken in the author of this theory...
It's actually "Wakeness" (The OP) that came with this hypothesis, in the original thread/1st post ( http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/showthread.php?t=669640 ):

Read the thread.
If made properly a copy would suffice. I have a CAA CAR stock that fell apart two days after installing it, doesn't mean they all suck, I just got a bad one. As unfortunate as the OP's malfunction is, it takes more than one failure to scientifically prove these kits are inferior. And to the people who still think that he fired 9mm through an airsoft gun please research how a roni functions.
Actually, I made this thread to start the first heads-up "WARNING SIGN" about some malfunction on this airsoft copy, so people can be aware of!
Like the old adage from the DHS (Department of Homeland Security) say:
" If you See something, Say something! "

Gotcha Z. It was assumptions/guesses all along.

Agreed. I just worry that they were never real items and they were knock offs, with and without logos.
Really don't want to see any CGN's get hurt.
My CAA Roni is built like a tank, I have never felt an airsoft version to compare.

I agree that the gap between the "barrel" of the fake roni and the glock was most likely the cause of the failure. Someone said they bought a legit roni one from questar that had less gap, this could likely make these functional and safe to use. Koodo's to Z for attempting this test. With the replacement part this could still be viable. I see nothing wrong with safely attempting this, just think of the things we would do without if people didn't take risks and attempt the unthinkable. I will happily buy one off whoever wants to part with theirs to try it out

My marauder is built like a tank too, and is twice the size and half the price of a roni. Makes you wonder about niche market items and their retail price eh.
This is my 3rd type of kit like this as I bought the Maruader for my 10-22 and the Archangel for one of my M-305,s and am very happy with them . I bought a different shroud for my kit as I put a Glock 34 in it and the shroud fits pretty close.
Does anyone know who sells the real Roni Kits in Canada ?

I'm going to be the one to buck the trend here. I think the polymer of the kit is fine, the muzzle shroud is wrong, as it wasn't designed for a firearm. The stock just holds the gun, nothing more, and is very solid. All the parts are dimensionally identical, and probably from the same mold. The only area critical is the area just in front of the pistols muzzle. By being shorter, the muzzle shroud allows the expanding gasses to interact directly with the polymer stock, and could not possibly be expected to last. The whole concept is based on that metal sleave being there. I'm amazed it lasted 100 rounds, frankly.
I'll bet if you take the airsoft muzzle shroud, and put it on a real Roni, you get the same results, and, I'll shoot either one with the proper muzzle shroud, albeit, wearing eye protection.
Stick that in yer pipe and smoke it.

You've puzzled me with this Muzzle Shroud terminology sir, would that be "the shoulder thing, that goes up"?
The metal insert, containing the slots for canceling muzzle rise. This is the one piece meant to interact with expanding gasses, and the shorter one explains the failure. Order a replacement from Roni, and I'll shoot it. No fear here. I guarantee failure of a real Roni eventually, with the shorter piece.
