Why not use a simple ladder rail cover? It should be flush, giving cheek more surface space.
Is it possible to make it even thinner then this so it's more in line with the rear of the buttpad?
That was my original intention. If you take a good look at the rail, however, you’ll see that at the top it’s maybe 1mm below the line of the butt and actually extends past it on the sides. So I was worried that a cover 1mm thick might not have enough strength to last? Would likely crack along the top if the gun landed on it? So while it can definitely be made even smaller than it is, I feel like it may not ever be able to be flush... but I will try. I’m learning a lot doing this stuff. This is not my day job lol
That’s why I ended up modelling the big one, it’s at least flush with the horizontal lines of the receiver. Just gotta get more attractive lines on the rear end of it.
Thanks for the feedback guys.

I see people have been trying airsoft accessories on the GSG-16. Anyone try an airsoft clone of the Surefire style forend light on yet?
I fired off 100 without a hiccup.

I'm not sure if anyone tried to take the rail off. But I heard the Fake suppressor is pinned so

So what does it look like without the handguard? or can it be removed?
Handguard is all one piece with the upper reciever. Handgiard doesn't appear to be able to be swapped
This is a HK style gun and it deserves nothing but a highly complicated HK 3 point style sling!

Pre tell...as someone who isn't familiar with Airsoft parts interfacing or model numbers, would this stock be the same as the Evike one but at half the cost (at least in Nova Scotia) https://www.ebay.ca/itm/CYMA-MP5-Re...657298?hash=item466e162b12:g:2joAAOSwuMFUgTZl

Its a majority plastic gun. And worried about airsoft stocks?
I don't play the airsoft games. Without having 12(2), 12(3), or 12(5) grandfathering to have an MP5, I decided to get an airsoft MP5 years ago. Just to have and shoot at cans.
It is electric and was less appealing when it shot and all you hear sounds like a cordless drill running. I paid about $350 for it.
A year later I bought a gas blow back one. The thing field strips and operates very close to the real thing. I once handed it to a guy that use to use them and I had to tell him it was an airgun. This one cost me over $600, is all metal except for the fore stock and grip. This thing is solid.
I probably will gut it and the first one for anything on them that will fit or adapt to this GSG16. I am delighted to get this rifle and I don't see anything wrong with using airsoft parts to improve it's looks. After all it's a plastic 22 right? Your not going to be seeing centerfire recoil or taking it to battle.
