PostSubject: XM177 E2 other handguard   XM177 E2 other handguard Icon_minitimeSat Nov 16, 2013 9:55 am

hi everybody!
Sorry, my english language is very bad!
I have a XM177E2 marushin modelgun.
I'd like to put an aluminium handguard and buttstock.
Do you know if it's possible to put handguard and buttstock for airsoft gun on my modelgun?
and where can i find it?
Thank you

I'm not sure but I'd say if you find the same model, same brand but airsoft version, chances are they would use the same molds for most parts.
If it's not the same brand then it's hard to tell but I wouldn't bet on it.

Bienvenue Bricalillo.

I fitted Magpul MOE buttstock, handguards and pistol grip to my Marushin XM177E2. These were made for real AR15 guns but fitted with no problems except for a very little filing on the handguards. I'm sure Marushing airsoft furniture would also fit, but I would not expect the same from other brands.

Ok
You think that marushin modelgun dimensions are the same that the real gun ?
Thank you very much, i'll follow this way

So far as I can tell, the handguards are " carbine length", the pistol grip fits perfectly and the buffer tube is " mil-spec". The " commercial" buffer tube is a slightly different shape and size, so only a mil-spec buttstock will fit. As I mentioned, the Magpul fittings were perfect, except that I had to de a little filing on the handguards. It took about half an hour.

I have just read this thread. I have to say that the dimensions on the Marushin models and on real M-16s/AR-15s are not the same. I think Japanese laws require this slight difference.

This said you can use a real mil-spec M4 stock on your Marushin XM177E2 receiver extension (stock tube), but the Marushin tube is thinner than a real one, so the stock will wobble. You can help this by gluing a felt-pad inside the stock (on top neat the front end).

Diameter of the milspec is 1.14" and commercial is 1.17". So a commercial stock will even wobble more.

Real hand guards fit, but you may have to adjust the barrel lenght a little by unscrewing it. The retaining ring is a little thinner, so you may have to remove some plastic with a file or sand paper, but this is not abig thing.
