beretta Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 cheers. even that pic doesn't do it justice. the finish is very nice. i have a load of pics of the internals but i left them at work. compared to the Star scar, (the best quality Scar exterior in airsoft form at the moment) the masada actually looks better, Link to post Share on other sites
Victory Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 DUBOIS, have you been living in a cave or something for the past couple months? Sonny, agreed. Beretta, that's the best picture I've seen yet. Man, oh, man do I want one of these. -Vic Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 the Star scar, (the best quality Scar exterior in airsoft form at the moment) I've seen a real SCAR. I've seen the STAR SCAR and the VFC SCAR side by side. VFC is more accurate to the real deal in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites
beretta Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Well, This isn't a Scar thread, but Ive had both of them and i can say for sure, That the VFC finish isn't as good, the color is off and it feels cheaper than the Star. the Star is streets ahead. wouldnt you agree?

Would I agree the the STAR looks better, ever after your pic? No. But like you said, this isn't a SCAR thread. Back to Masadas. Link to post Share on other sites
Magsz Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Hehehe, beretta loves his star scars. Go take a look at the real one and then come back and say definitively that the Star offering is a better replica. What hopup unit is the Counterfeit Masada using? Link to post Share on other sites
beretta Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 That much is obvious, the cheek plate and stock hinge design make it easy to distinguish which is which, however, the upper receiver, lower receiver and pistol grip are all different colors on the VFC, its also more soft and flexible than the Star. I don't quite get some peoples loyalty to the VFC scar, there seems to be a small number of diehard VFC fans on this forum even with all the many faults of the VFC. So, i got both and came to my conclusion. Star is a supior rifle, simple as anyway.... I love this feature. Link to post Share on other sites

So, i got both and came to my conclusion. Star is a supior rifle, simple as LOL... Well that's how opinions work. Everyone has one and they don't all agree. Like Magsz said once you handle a real SCAR maybe you'll be in a better position to judge a replica's accuracy. But that's okay. You like your STAR SCAR and that's all that matters.

DesertFoxRomel Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 To those who have one: You have no idea how much I hate you guys. That is one superb piece of kit. I hope the second gen will have the features of the ACR and be more available. Link to post Share on other sites

Gigueand Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Or that guy could be really small. He does have the buttstock fully extended. I can't imagine the foregrip is much larger than that on the G36. Just look back over the comparison photos. The Masada/ACR is slimmer than the SCAR, but about the same size.

Fighting Maus Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 That is a nice looking rifle. I like everything about it asthetically. The only drawback for me is the V2 GB. That wont prevent me from getting one if they make it stateside. Link to post Share on other sites

fulltimekiller Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Magpul PTS in HK, they probably make it in China. That's right, I'm sure the "real" Magpul PTS Masada is not launched yet, this is kind of some knockoff from somewhere.... Link to post Share on other sites
darkchild130 Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 anyone know if there are any plans to release a railed handguard and CQB length barrel? I like the handguard and stock from the SHOT show videos. Darkchild Link to post Share on other sites
NeoVeNoM Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 anyone know if there are any plans to release a railed handguard and CQB length barrel? I like the handguard and stock from the SHOT show videos. Darkchild From what I know in the news section the PTS version, should be a complete modular system. So you are going to be able to change your rifle like you see fit. btw apparently the knockoff masada is build by Waterloo.hk. Link to post Share on other sites
Beast06 Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Army Armament actually make this version, apparently. Edit: Maybe on behalf of those Waterloo guys? Link to post Share on other sites
StarMonkee Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Well come pay day I shall be pimping my Masada. Grabbing a correct rear sight from the US and picking up an EOTech as well. Other than that I dont think theres much I can do to make it any better than it already is Link to post Share on other sites
blazed99 Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 Some pics of mine and comparisons with size next to a few of my other RIFS, as can be seen not much longer than an Aug with the butt at full extension. According to the manual it is quick and easy to swap barrels, so hopefully they will realease a shorter barrel set as well. Anyone know where you can buy the Waterloo stock from, pm me if you do?

kaya! Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 Talking of masada; This picture confuses me? It looks Huuge! its also possible that he is using the sniper variant and a larger caliber such as the 7.62 which is why the fore grip looks huge and the barrel is so long Link to post Share on other sites

BigAl Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 That's right, I'm sure the "real" Magpul PTS Masada is not launched yet, this is kind of some knockoff from somewhere.... It isn't relised yet but that is a RS one, possibly from SHOT 2008 as it is the old Masada design with the rear mounted cocking handle. Link to post Share on other sites

But we digress... How many of you guys have the ACM Masada? Is it only Blazed? Link to post Share on other sites
beretta Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 Army Armament actually make this version, apparently. Edit: Maybe on behalf of those Waterloo guys? You heard that from me though, before I stripped it and discovered it was actually A&K. Link to post Share on other sites
