How to Make Your Airsoft Guns Less Wobbly

Last Updated: September 16, 2021

One way to make your airsoft guns less noisy and more stealth is to reduce its wobble. High-end full metal airsoft guns rarely have wobble, but less expensive polymer guns generally have lots. Today you will learn how to get rid of that pesky wobble and make your airsoft gun much, much more solid.

Method 1

Method 1 of 3:
Fixing the Stock

1
Buy some electric tape from a store. Electric tape in most parts of making your gun less wobbly is going to be your friend. Buy two rolls as you may run out or need an extra if one is lost.
2
Take off the stock of your gun. If your gun has a fixed stock, it generally does not wobble, so these steps are specifically for adjustable stocks.
3
Add a layer of electric tape on top of the buffer tube at about half an inch from the start of the tube all the way until you're halfway across the buffer tube.
4
Put your stock back on.
5
Experiment until the stock is stiff, but not too stiff where you can't adjust it. This is kind of like adjusting a hop-up, as it is trial and error. Keep adding pieces and removing pieces until it's good.
