I don't know which forum to post this in so I guess this is as good as any. Mods, if this is the wrong place for it, please feel free to move my post.

Ok, here's the deal guys, I don't play airsoft nor do I even own an airsoft gun. They look pretty cool, might try it out some day but my passion right now is "real steel". Any way, I'm looking for a new firearm project and I figure I need to build an MP5. My plan is to take a metal bodied MP5 SD5 and modify it so that a Ruger 10/22 .22cal semi-auto matic rifle will fit inside. Basically, I'll be using the Airsoft gun as a stock and outer shell. In the end I hope to have a nice little .22cal plinker that looks like an MP5. I picked the SD5 versio as the suppressor and solid stock will keep the minimum overall and barrel lengths legal. I've seen pictures of a Ruger 10/22 stuffed inside an Airsoft G3, so I'm sure an MP5 would work.

Who makes the most sturdy and toughest metal MP5? Most accurate looking? Where is the best place to buy one?

If some one has an MP5, preferably a metal boddied one, would it be too much to ask for pictures of the inside? I assume the Airsoft version splits into two halves, I would like pictures of it split to see if the rifle will even fit inside. If no pictures, some dimensions of the space inside would be great. Thanks in advance.
