Since a .22LR has virtually no recoil, fitting the 10/22 receiver into a "toy" stock presents no negative issues, with one exception. It is possible to shoot the 10/22 rapidly enough to get the barrel quite hot which can be expected to have negative consequences if the plastic stock material is allowed to be in contact. As far as using the Airsoft P90 stock goes the entire concept actually makes sense. The Airsoft shell is large enough to house the 10/22 receiver, and once all fitting has been done the empty spaces can easily be filled with expanding foam as reinforcement...once done it will hold up to fairly severe impact with no problem. The main issue is the barrel. Ideally one should be willing to depart from mimicing the P90 look for the sake of superior field reliability and this means opening up the barrel pass-through and the entire top of the stock to bond in an aluminum tube "spacer" to keep the barrel away from the plastic. Forget the toy magazine look-a-like and simply open up the stock and bond in the large tube for cooling. There is still ample vertical clearance to mount a dot-style sight.
