Buy recommendations Stock options for the Makasi
While very impatiently waiting for the Makasi I've been looking at different stocks since I hate the wire stocks look. Where the hell are we supposed to get stocks from? From what I've read online its sort of a gray area with getting them shipped from the US. And a definite NO NO for going to the US and bringing one back, and I've seen maybe 3 options in Canada total once you remove the airsoft parts from the equation. Can someone clear this up for me?

You can search AlmostProhibited.ca and see what 1913 stocks are available on the market at the moment. If your search doesn't come up with something you want, you can also import it from IRunGuns.

I’m doing a Midwest Industries 1913 Buffer Tube adapter, and a Magpul STR stock; got them both from Aztech.
Tempted to find a 1913 adapter for my ACR stock that’s currently on my Bren, but we’ll see how the buffer tube setup goes.

This is the answer. RDSC brings them in periodically, or IRG can inport them one off for you directly.

Honestly.... grab a good quality aluminum airsoft stock.
Folks in the US use them all the time. Price is 1/3 the price of other stocks. Gun stocks are an absolute rip off. For milled aluminum and a bit of rubber, companies know they can rip off gun owners.
As for me, I bought a cheap aluminum folding stock made by 5KU. Super solid, no complaints. Next time I'd get one with a bit of a cheek riser or some adjustment. As far as length of pull adjustment? I just threw in a Pic Rail Riser. Perfect for adding another inch or two of extra length.
If you want something a bit better than a PDW looking stock though, try a Maple Leaf Machined aluminum Stock. Adjustable and solid.

Get the IWI if you don't like the Makasi look

I love the way the makasi looks other than the stock. I thought i would like the IWI too until i saw a video of a person actually holding it

Nobody likes the IWI look. It's a leftover R&D project they know desperate Canuck copes would eat up. At least it worms tho.

Which means its cheaper and better than those ACR stocks that people love. Im very glad to have sold my ACR stock and gotten the UCS and a little bit of cash in my pocket

This is one of the options i was considering since RDSC has them. I just wish i could see what it looks like on the makasi first before ordering one lmfao

This fellow did a shooting video with the Makasi with a UCS stock. The camera is a bit distant, but hopefully it will give you an idea.

He also has another video comparing the UCS to some other 1913 stocks., using the BRN-180 as the host on that video.

anything you would have slapped on a bren
im going HD adapter / Zhukov,
I think the B5 MPS looks pretty good too

I'll get a 1913 buffer tube adapter, buffer tube, and a magpul ctr probably. That route is cheaper than just getting a Magpul ucs folding stock, I've found most folding stocks to be unnecessarily expensive

I am personally going to super glue on a wood fal stock

u/Ustauk Jul 29 '26
Before losing the FAL stock permanently, WOOX makes a wooden 1913 stock. Range Sports in Calgary has said you could call them to order one in. https://wooxstore.com/products/1913-woody-stock

I have this coming soon, it's a 6-position folding skeletonized buffer tube. Can take any buffer tube buttstocks. I made it specifically in preparation for the Makasi, my SKS upcoming chassis and my homesteader pistol grip adapters.
