Can I use a M-16 stock for a Tippmann 98 on a VM?

mpsd · 10-18-2009, 11:42 AM

If not, why and where can I find one for it?

Thanks!

Not without considerable modifications. If you want an M16/Carbine style stock then your best bet is to post in the Buy/Sell/Trade forum here on MCB. They did make them, but they have been out of production for a while now, are not terribly easy to come by.

You can also make your own.

1. Get a piece of solid aluminum bar, either that fits directly in the rear tube or fits after having it turned down a bit. Also drill through the bar from the top so it matches the rear plug, it's going to be a drop in replacement.. but it will stick out the back of the gun 1.5 inches.

2. Get a real AR stock and fit it to the bar (using a screw).

You are all set.

Unfortunatelly, I don't hve any milling skills, nor tools. But I think that if I could do this, I could also make it possible to use a Tippmann 98 stock, right? That would also be easier for me to buy than a real M-16 stock, as well as being cheaper. Now, the golden question:

Can anyone here mill that small part for me and ship it to Brazil?

Thanks!

I'm speaking about that one, exactly.

Is that store a good one? Do you know if they still keep it updated or is it just an old website that was just left as it was?

I emailed them, we'll see if they are still in business.
