Gsg 16 with airsoft

Hero outdoors just got a shipment of metal mp5 parts like receivers from ICS.

This one?

Wondering even if it fits what is the benefit over the OEM plastic or the 5/522 plastic lower.

Some have reported the OEM upper becoming loose when the threads start stripping out if the screws are overtightened. I would see a metal upper stopping that if they used machine screws to hold it together.
Also the metal upper looks like it would negate the need to fabricate a pic rail removed top cover.

I'm thinking if you ask a Mod to merge this into the GSG Mod thread you will get more responses.

Sky52 put a Airsoft Trigger housing on his. Receiver I think would run into complications, due to it being the serialized part. It might turn it into a variant and make it a prohib.
 
The serialized part is on the magwell, which in the mp5 is part of the "upper". Cant do it, otherwise you have a ghost gun. Plus the internal wont work, trust me i looked.

As for the lower, it may work but it will take a forever eternal to fit as the airsoft ssfety selector hole is serious undersized and also the grip screw hole is in the wrong place.
 
Be careful with airsoft metal parts. They tend to be of lower quality metals; including even potmetal which can very easily crack. Double-check before you purchase.

Wont work anyways. Its missing the bolt carrier track, where the BCG slides in. Also missing the pocket where the bolt stop sits. On the airsoft, its just a big giant oval opening like and AR 15 upper
