    Can a CASV clone hold up to 5.56 recoil as a "handguard" with no optics?

    i finally bought my PSA M4 upper with the 7" handguard for fathers day and now i want to put a CASV clone.

    ive read all of the threads on why you shouldnt put airsoft stuff on a real gun but i want to know if this CASV clone can hold up to the recoil?

    I don't know but why? if money is the issue, there are plenty of non airsoft stuff that is fairly inexpensive.

      its a money issue.

      but can it hold up to the recoil?

      i have it installed on my .22LR L85 (Marlin 795). im planning to do a test fit.

        that's why those items are stated specifically for "AIRSOFT". Just like the Magpul UBR stock clone, Magpul warns not to use it on a real gun, will probably break and cause injuries.

        Can it stand up to the recoil? Only way to find out is to test it. Personally, if money is an issue, I would rather hold off and save enough to buy the real thing, cause if the airsoft stuff does not hold up, you'll just end up spending more down the road.

        "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

        Could it be any clearer? Any law that infringes on our right to keep and bear arms is a violation of the Second Amendment and is unconstitutional.

          I agree that it's not worth losing money on if you're wrong, especially if money is tight.

            thanks.

            ill be using iron sights so i dont think the recoil would be an issue

            to further clarify my question. im referring to see if the CASV clone can hold up as a "handguard" to the 5.56 recoil.

            i mean if a MOE plastic handguard can stand up to a 5.56 recoil, why wouldnt this?

            yea ill test it out. if it doesnt, ill put it back on my .22.

            if i can find a used one at $150 ill be happy to pay that.
