Replace or Upgrade Your Replica’s Receiver

The receiver of an airsoft replica is a central part of its external structure. It holds the internal components together and largely defines the replica’s visual appearance. When a receiver is cracked, damaged, or simply outdated in terms of design, replacing it can be a simple way to give your equipment a second life.

This part is also commonly used in customization projects to create a unique or more realistic configuration.

Compatibility with Common Platforms

The receivers offered here are mostly compatible with AEG platforms such as:

• M4/M16: the most widespread, with a wide range of compatible parts.
• AK: for replicas with a Soviet or modern look.
• Other models like G36, MP5, SCAR, etc., depending on availability.

Each receiver is designed to fit specific gearboxes (version 2, version 3, etc.), and it is important to check the mounting points, compatibility with internal components, and sometimes brand matching to avoid unwanted adjustments.

An Opportunity for Aesthetic Customization

Changing the receiver also allows you to alter the overall look of your replica: color, finish, markings, design... Some receivers are made of polymer for weight savings, others of metal for added strength and realism. This makes it possible to adapt the replica to your playstyle, a specific theme (milsim, futuristic, etc.), or simply make it more pleasant to handle.

Things to Check Before Purchase

Before ordering a replica receiver, it is recommended to:

• Check mechanical compatibility with your gearbox, hop-up, and inner barrel.
• Confirm the platform type (AEG or GBB depending on the case).
• Consider the material (polymer or metal) based on the desired weight and durability.
• Ensure compatibility with other parts: fire selectors, sling mounts, screws.
