Gigueand Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Interesting development... Is this just a differently colored version of the A&K? Or is this some new version? If it is, indeed, a new version what is stopping MagPul from raining on the parade? More information is required since the Monda International website doesn't have anything posted. Thanks for the post, D.O.C. Link to post Share on other sites
PlasticMag Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Looks like the A&K, down to the specs and colors. Link to post Share on other sites
kodiak22 Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 yup, looks like the black version of the A&K to me. Link to post Share on other sites
Jin15 Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 *sighs* ... Would it really have been so hard to move the charging handle up front so we could have a proper Bushmaster ACR replica? Link to post Share on other sites
PlasticMag Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Yes. Everything's already tooled up and made. And the ACR looks like donkey dung. Link to post Share on other sites
kodiak22 Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 And the ACR looks like donkey dung. ACR and Masada looks the same( sans charging handle) . Link to post Share on other sites
PlasticMag Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Well there you go. It's the little things that make the difference. *edit - from a functional standpoint, a non-reciprocating charging handle in the control area is exactly what I would want anyhow. I dislike the forward-mounted charging handle, because 1. It seems like it will get in the way 2. It is outside of the 'control surface' - I want all of my weapon controls in the same readily accessible place Link to post Share on other sites
BigAl Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 The CQC short barrel and Rail System Handguard and more will be release soon. I will keep you update. Interesting, assuming Magpul doesn't close em down first. Link to post Share on other sites
aznriptide859 Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Aren't they just bringing themselves trouble by publicly announcing they have it? 0_0 Link to post Share on other sites
PlasticMag Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Not really. As I said in the other thread (I think), Magpul PTS has little if any sway in Taiwan, or most of the Pacific Rim for that matter. Link to post Share on other sites
LordElpus Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 it appears they have little sway at all.. they use fear of litigation instead. Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLite Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Interesting. The ACR doesn't look all that bad in black. Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Not really. As I said in the other thread (I think), Magpul PTS has little if any sway in Taiwan, or most of the Pacific Rim for that matter. That sort of stuff should be pretty enforcible in Taiwan. It's countries like Mainland China where it'd be a problem. Link to post Share on other sites
PlasticMag Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Maybe, but the A&K copies are sold very very openly there, as is all the knockoff Magpul stuff. Link to post Share on other sites
Magsz Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Well there you go.

I dislike the forward-mounted charging handle, because 1. It seems like it will get in the way 2. It is outside of the 'control surface' - I want all of my weapon controls in the same readily accessible place Its a functional change whether you like it or not. The charging handle directly over the fire control group was running into issues with optics mounts. Its not like it even matters in airsoft anyway unless the PTS version actually does come in blowback format. Other than that, the guns look essentially the same. Link to post Share on other sites
Pdubyuh Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Monda's a wholesaler right ? I just want to buy a FDE one if i contact them direct do you think they'll sell me one ? Perhaps I should pretend I'm a whole saler and ask for a sample . I guess we'll have to wait and see if any shops stock them. Link to post Share on other sites
snorkelman Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 I bought individual VFC AKSUs from them when those were first coming out on prerelease, however even if they still do offer that sort of option you'll probably pay more (as their single unit price was generally higher than the price shops could put their bulk purchase ones out at).

Maple-Leaf Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 The charging handle directly over the fire control group was running into issues with optics mounts. Exactly. Besides, you work the charging handle with your supporting hand, not your control hand - so in that regard, forward is where it ought to be anyways (just like on the good old HK weapons like the G3, HK33, MP5).

Pdubyuh Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Cheers for that Snorkelman I may just send them an email. Link to post Share on other sites

Besides, you work the charging handle with your supporting hand, not your control hand - so in that regard, forward is where it ought to be anyways (just like on the good old HK weapons like the G3, HK33, MP5). American practice is to use the control hand isn't it? Probably part of the reason for the dis-agreement. Link to post Share on other sites
kodiak22 Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 American practice is to use the control hand isn't it? Probably part of the reason for the dis-agreement. i use my non control hand( left) . Link to post Share on other sites
Maple-Leaf Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 American practice is to use the control hand isn't it? Probably part of the reason for the dis-agreement. From memory, yes the drill I was taught on the M16 was to use my control (right) hand to charge the rifle and operate the bolt forward assist. But that's probably just becuase of the design / ergonomics of the rifle... Link to post Share on other sites

But that's probably just becuase of the design / ergonomics of the rifle... i think most of us do that for the M16/M4, but i wasnt specific on the M16/M4 platform i use my control( right) hand, btu for most most other rifles( that allow it e.g. scar) i charge the rifle with my off( left hand).
