would an Airsoft rail be ok on a .22 upper?

[mikeith]

i just got everything for my .22 upper and want to build it as close as possible to my mk18 upper? does anyone know if one of the airsoft RISii rails would be ok on that upper?

Probably not...how does it mount up? What level of quality is acceptable. Airsoft gear belongs on airsoft gear.

Believe it or not, many of the airsoft manufacturers sell to the firearms market. Does this make it acceptable for firearms use? Who knows?!?
Its hard to say without seeing it...

There are several different "specs" for the upper reciever threads on airsoft AR-15s.

IIRC think the standard barrel nut type for "AEG"s won't work for you.

I think the ones made for "GBBR"s will likely fit, but it may vary by manufacturer.

They do it deceptively as I know of no company that would knowingly use airsoft parts on a real firearm.

Its a lite rail as I saw the FDE and just got it thinking only the Mk18 rail was in FDE... same mounting. Don't waste money on the airsoft wrench, just get the DD wrench or a set of channel locks.

I've used this for a couple years now.

If you need to go cheap and it's only a .22 LR upper, look into Leapers/UTG - not the greatest quality and heavy but extremely solid for the price. I've been forced to use a few of their parts in the past when I couldn't find a suitable alternative by a more reputable company, but I eventually ended selling them all off once someone did come out with a higher-quality solution.
