Great piece of information. If I ever get a VSR this will be the first mod I do to it.
Nice work.

How To: Foam Stock Mod for VSR10 and Clones
I spent all day today foaming the stock on my BAR10, here is a quick guide.
Don't try this method in a APS or clone, you will most likely ruin your rifle.
Disclaimer!: I cannot be held responsible if you try this and destroy your rifle!
Supplies
- VSR10 or Clone (If it looks like a VSR10 and has a hollow stock, it will work)
- Sprayable Foam Insulation (Make sure it's low expanding, I used ''Great Stuff'' in the a red can)
- Exacto knife or razor blade
- Something to keep you occupied
- Paper Towels
- Something to scrape away the extra foam (I just used a wooden stick thing I found in the kitchen )
- Tape (Painters will work best)

How to
Strip your rifle down to just the stock, and remove the rubber butt plate, then put a piece of the painters tape over the hole that the rear of your trigger guard. (Not really necessary, I didn't do it but it stops a small bubble of foam from forming, that would would have to trim anyway)
Next, Shake your foam and if needed, screw on the threaded straw that it probably came with.
Sit down and place the stock between your legs and hold it with your knees. Put straw of the foam can as far to the bottom of the stock as possible and slowly squeeze the straw. As the foam starts to fill the void, start going from side to side, slowly. Do this until the stock is about 3/4 full and stop. Just walk away. You need to give the foam time to expand before you add anymore, or do anything else, which you should do if needed. As it expands, you will probably need to scrape off the excess. Give the foam at the bare minimum 6 hours to cure. If you feel the need for more foam, go for it. After 24 hours, the foam will be safe to trim. I suggest using a razor blade or something serrated.
Your Done! Reassemble your rifle, trim any little pieces of foam. This mod will get rid of the ''toy'' like feeling, as well as make it SO much quieter

I have done this with all of my VSR's. Its a cheap and cheerful mod' that has a great impact of the dead air spaces of the rifle silencing it greatly.
I would just like to add the following warning to anyone about to do this -
Watch the foam! its under pressure in the can and can come out the can at a rapid rate so go careful, combine that with the addhesive contained inside the foam it can make a hell of a mess to your pudgy little fingers as it does not wipe off easily, the foam is very tacky. Get it on your fingers and it takes hours of scrubbing to get the tacky residue off.Not to mention you leave glue finger prints on everything you touch, stock, can, tape, knife, wife etc etc...
You have been warned lol.
P.S It also works with silencers An crossbow stocks.
