Magpul Real Steel CTR stock

[turok_t]

When you export a package from the US, do they scan/X-ray all the packages? My question is, how will US export know that someone is sending Magpul stuff out of the country?

Also, does this apply to ALL RS MAGPUL stuff? or just the CTR stock?

[RacingManiac]

I think, their stocks, handguard, MBUS and possibly something like ASAP and BAD are....though for buying stuff from them directly, they might just not want to ship internationally to simplify things....

To address the original questions, I have a RS CTR stock, it fits okay on a Marui buffer tube -- it's a bit loose but not much as my RS Vltor modstock was. And the CTR has a locking mechanism, which when engaged makes it rock solid.

1. So how do i tell if something is "commercial" vs "mil-spec" Do u have any examples?

2. Will i be able to import a RS CTR stock across canadian border? I know a guy that is selling it in the US

3. What is the diameter of the hole on the RS CTR, maybe if someone gave me a dimension, i can measure it on my buffer tube.

Answers:

1 = already answered, more than once...please re-read the explanations

2 = you could import it, he cannot legally export it -- ITAR

3 = Link to mil-spec drawing. Link to commercial-spec drawing.


That is all...

It could be an option if you find that there is a lot of wobble or fitment issues.

Yes they but do not confuse the Real steal PRS stock adaptor with the other stock adaptors or you will be unhappy.

FWIW, there's precious little difference, from an airsoft point of view, between the PTS version of the CTR stock and the RS version. Why spend the extra cash on RS when this is one situation where you really don't have to and will still get a very good quality product.

From Magpul's website:

Do You Ship Internationally?

We do NOT ship internationally and all orders must have US billing and shipping addresses.

PLEASE NOTE: Many of the items on this Web site are subject to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR, 22 CFR Parts 120-130), the Arms Export Control Act (22 USC 2778), or the Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended (22 USC App. 2401 et. seq.), and Export is strictly prohibited without authorization or a license issued by the U.S. Department of State's Directorate of Defense Trade Controls.

That is now true. Although some of their stuff is NOT ITAR restricted they are just refusing to ship now. However some firearms retailers are shipping the non restricted items to Canada *cough* Brownells *cough*

Flyguy: because i can get the real steel one for cheaper, and im not buying it directly from magpul, I used those links as references only

BTW: Are AEG stocks be able to make it safely across the Canadian border? As far as i know, they are not prohibited, but i just wanted to be sure.

1. Mil SPec and commercial refers to the different sizes of buffer tubes for REAL guns. Airsoft guns use varying buffer tubes. Some manufactures are mil spec, some are commercial and some are smaller than mil spec. This was answered 3 times on this thread already.

2. Yes Real steal is either cheaper or the same price as the PTS versions. The real steal MBUS, CTR, MOE Handguard, Ranger pulls for PMAG are cheaper than the PTS versions. Only the Ranger pulls have a very noticable quality difference. The PTS Ranger pulls for PMAG are made from the commercial formula of the dupont polymer/rubber while the Ranger pulls for PMAG (REAL STEAL) use the Magpul formula the rubber feels harder and their is less give to them.

3. AEG anything is legal to import across the border so long as it's not a prohib or questionable item such as receiver.

Hey T7 and everyone else, so I got a magpul PTS CTR stock and it wobbles a bit with my existing buffer tube. So, I was looking at some buffer tubes and can someone tell me if there will be less wobble for the following?

1. King Arms Stock Pipe (With Marking) for M4/M16 AEG

2. G&P 5 Position Stock Pipe for Western Arms M4(Vltor Type)

3. MAGPUL 5 Position PTS Stock Pipe

4. G&P 6 Position Stock Pipe for M4 / M16
http://shop.ehobbyasia.com/gandp-6-p...or-m4-m16.html

I actually prefer the first two (1. King Arms or 2. G&P) because they both have the numbers so I can see the position when I use my other Crane stock. But my priority is fitment. I prefer a buffer tube that doesnt wobble. So which one do you think would fit best on my M4 AEG?

It wobbles even with the friction lock engaged? Strange.

i have a cheap ass China clone buffer tube, so I need to get new one that slides stiffer on my magpul stock. Any one have experience with the buffer tubes i posted in my previous post?

You didn't really answer my question but ok...

[TokyoSeven]

If your buffer tube is wobbling I think you may need a new body, or to tighten the screw that goes into the spring guide.

Number one, sure why not, knock yourself out.

As for that second stock you listed.
Do GBB stock pipes fit on AEG bodies? Im not sure if they do because I thought GBBRs used dimensions that were real steel.

Number three, would work fantastic with the PTS CTR, since the dimensions are different I dont know if it would mate well with an RS stock.

Number four, sure why not.

Oh actually I didnt even notice that.. but yes, its stiffer now once the friction lock is on

[turok_t]

Its just SLIGHTLY wobbles but i think i can live with it.... its not as stiff as the ones i tried at TAC10, but its also not very loose as well.

[THe_Silencer]

Put some electrical tape around the buffer tube and it should stop wobbling.

Real steel CTR for KJW M4

or

PTS CTR for KJW M4?

Thanks for any information guys.

[Styrak]

Whichever one is cheaper. You don't need real steel parts for an airsoft gun.
