Mr Foxhound Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Not a big fan of the game, but that looks super close to the desert paintjob in Modern Warfare 2. Never thought id like a painted ACR, but yours is nice. Link to post Share on other sites
SteevoLS Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 The paint along with the tape on the grip make that one of the first ACRs/Masadas I've seen that didn't look like toys. Excellent! Link to post Share on other sites

aznriptide859 Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Don't you think a handstop AND an RVG is a bit of overkill? XD Link to post Share on other sites
grzechotnik Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Don't you think a handstop AND an RVG is a bit of overkill? XD No...? For ex. thumb brake grip... Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Looks amazing, although, a FUG would nice complete it. A FUG might fit with the receiver, but the RVG is far more comfortable especially for the way he has his gun setup. Link to post Share on other sites
RacingManiac Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Thanks guys...the handstop basically does what it says, without it you really notice how close the muzzle is, the AFG comes with a built-in one, when going back to a vertical grip I really noticed its absence....

TheFull9 Posted October 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 RM: The way the gear sector bits, the XTMs and the RVG mesh together together to create the overall profile of the handguards looks awesome; the LaRue receiver is bloody nice as well. Any chance you'll be putting up a video firing it once everything's put together inside? Link to post Share on other sites
RacingManiac Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Yeah I can do that, only if it shoots well....lol:D Link to post Share on other sites
kojak Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Don't you think a handstop AND an RVG is a bit of overkill? XD Well HK didn't: And neither do I: Shamelessness aside, a handstop+VFG feels perfect with a thumb break grip. RacingManiac, have you considered chopping some Tango Down rail covers to fit like this, or perhaps the SCAR panels like this? Link to post Share on other sites
GnGArmament Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 My painted ACR: /snip See it big: http://www.france-airsoft.fr/forum/index.php?autocom=gallery&req=si&img=4366 (and click on the picture) What type of paint did you use?

BrooklynBorn Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 A FUG might fit with the receiver, but the RVG is far more comfortable especially for the way he has his gun setup. True, but I was just trying to say that with the Larue Upper, the Larue Lower, the Larue IronDot, the Larue rail, the FUG would go with the theme. And yeah, the RVG is insanely comfortable.

And yeah, the RVG is insanely comfortable. Perhaps. But it's not an exclusively LaRue rifle. Since he's also got a Magpul MOE grip, Magpul XTM panels, Magpul Rail ladder, Magpul ASAP, Magpul CTR, Magpul RVG. The majority of the accessories are Magpul based, so adding a Magpul RVG isn't that odd really. And in the end, function over form should always take precedence ... and the RVG is way better than the FUG (especially when it comes to blending into the XTM panels for ergonomics and control).

True. I agree entirely, except that at least in airsoft, the difference between function over form is minimal compared to real steel. And I know. If it's anything like the MVG, my favorite VFG now, it must be great. Anyways, moving on.....any news on the PTS AFG2? Edited October 13, 2010 by BrooklynBorn Link to post Share on other sites
RacingManiac Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 lol, not that I am cheap, but FUG is more expensive also, and when I ordered the lot of Magpul stuff, I figure I might as well go Magpul all the way for the accessories...and batched the shipping too... Annoyingly I still have a stubby TD FDE grip here....but no where to use it since my WOC built have 2 AFG now... Link to post Share on other sites
ko5ma Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Really nice build. Did you have any issues with obtaining the Gear Sector stuff, or are such tiny items not subject to ITAR regulations? I'm asking as i've been looking at their light mounts, tried LaRue but got told they can't send outside of US. Link to post Share on other sites

That has to be one of the best paint job's I've seen, so I'm curious as to how you pulled it off Hi, Thanks for the remark I used Tamiya paint: - dark yellow - dark green - red brown Starting with big stripes of brown on the dark earth body of the Masada, then randomly spraying "dots" of yellow and green (and some more brown) there and there... Took me half an hour including drying Link to post Share on other sites
