I sell the stuff and so you would think I'd be a bit biased, but you tell me afterwards if you still think so. The problem with ACM products is that illegal airsoft factories are like CIRCLE K's here except ten times worse. You can't throw a rock in any direction without hitting two in China. The problem isn't all ACM products, just some. The ones you will have the worst issues with will be stocks and red dots. These can look extremely nice in appearance, but then extremely poor in the fit or performance side. The worst ACM Magpul stock to gamble on right now is the CTR. The fit is different for every brand of gun that uses a different buffer tube. They work and fit the best on larger diameter tubes right now, but don't even think about it if it's an AEG. If you don't mind the wobble, then it's no big deal and you will feel like you got a smokin deal on a great looking replica. When it comes to UBR and ACS, swallow your pride and give them a try because they are exact replicas that are being sold as the real thing for real steel firearms all day long. If you buy a new gun that already has the custom MAGPUL package, I would bet my left nut that these are ACM. Most of the stuff I sell comes in the same, identical packaging that the real steel versions are being sold in. The seller benefits from that more than anyone else. Airsoft and real steel enthusiasts need to stop automatically dismissing replicas as low quality accessories that don't have the same quality as the real thing. I read how taboo it is to replace parts from real steel firearms for less costly, airsoft parts. I am all for that when it comes to internal parts and anything involving the inner mechanics of the gun that directly effect the performance of the gun, but why be so hard on the external accessories without doing any testing first? Why aren't there any reviews telling people what the good acm external upgrades fit and work well on both airsoft and real steel applications? I deal with these ACM resellers and the numbers in which they are putting out these replica products have big companies written all over it. Learn all this for yourself before taking someone's word on it. I want to start seeing people back up their comments before they just shoot something down without knowing for certain what they claim to be true. Sorry, to go on, but I can definitely shed some light on the subject if you would ever like to test fit something I have in stock or just have a question in general about anything. I work from home and am always up for test fitting or just letting people look at the stuff. You don't have to buy anything. If you would like to swing by to see what anything looks like, let me know.
