Azulsky Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 So did they develop a cage for the v2 gearbox? Link to post Share on other sites
GnGArmament Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 So did they develop a cage for the v2 gearbox? It's supposed to be a modified V3 gearbox. Link to post Share on other sites
Dsquall Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 It's supposed to be a modified V3 gearbox. supposed to be. That's a v2 shell in those pictures though, bud. Unless they mated a v3 style lower and v2 upper, which wouldn't fix the weakened front end the v2 suffers from. Link to post Share on other sites

Shift Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Wasn't the Ver. 3 gear box supposed to be for the compatability with the AK styled mags? There is no gear box in that AK lower, perhaps the gear box is reciever specific. Correct me if I'm wrong. Link to post Share on other sites
Azulsky Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 That was not specified in the question or the responses regarding the caged motor Kinda blows imo, it was a make or break for me to be able to use my obnoxious collection of m4 mags in a version 3 gun Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted January 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 I've sent Magpul PTS a question about the internals. I was under the impression that the internals are a modified V3 G36 gear box with caged motor. The same gearbox is supposed to be quick swappable between the two lowers. I'll post what I find out. Edit, got a response from Magpul PTS: The gear box is base on version 3 and we enhanced the size to fit PTS ACR exclusively. The cylinder, gears and internal parts are interchangeable with Tokyo Marui and Systema upgrade parts. Link to post Share on other sites
aquadrummer Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 So, is the ACR going to be up for sale the day of the shot show? Or are we going to die from agonizing anticipation for much longer. Link to post Share on other sites

Edit, got a response from Magpul PTS: So I Guess That Means its a V3 Mechbox, So I assume its Selector Switch is Also External along with the Selector Plate, Like the AK and G36 and UMG? Since it was a Modified V3 I hope that the Modified, Doesnt Mean Possible Cracking Front End Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Foxhound Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Kinda reminds me of the Modern Warfare 2 version,. The old Masada mixed with the ACR. A bit disappointing it has a front flip up integrated. Would have loved to use both MBUS on it. Not a big deal though. Not like Ill use them anyways. IS it releasing the day of the shot show or just a model to look at? Still wondering if the Tan will be Magpuls DFE or Bushmasters Mustard tan. Link to post Share on other sites

WhiteHawksan Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 in the other thread linked to here I think it was approx. $400 MRSP with a bucketload of stuffage to boot. Link to post Share on other sites

uscmCorps Posted January 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Since it was a Modified V3 I hope that the Modified, Doesnt Mean Possible Cracking Front End Seems a bit premature to predict that being modified it'll have problems with cracking front ends. Let's try to stay positive and wait and see what comes out. Guess I'm a glass half full kinda guy. A bit disappointing it has a front flip up integrated. Would have loved to use both MBUS on it. Not a big deal though. Not like Ill use them anyways. Thinking about this more, I kinda like the integrated front BUIS part of the design. I never use BUIS on any of my guns (except the AKs and FALs) and I prefer a clean straight line over the discontinuity a front BUIS introduces. Part of the reason why I like my SR15s. Was a retail price ever mentioned, or a educated guess? The price I mentioned in the other thread was the most current estimated MSRP Magpul PTS had for those products. The MSRP fluctuated a lot over the months due to material and labor costs. We should know by next week a more accurate MSRP. The MSRP they quoted was for the base model (14.5" barrel, fixed stock, M4 lower). Link to post Share on other sites

fiddlesticks4220 Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 I want to see a variant with a rail and folding stock No sense in spending more on what im going to buy anyways. Link to post Share on other sites
Hammerfall Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Well, at least what we see before us is some innovation. That alone is enough for me to welcome this gun in. Who cares about fine details? Airsofters really are a pedantic bunch! There is not enough innovation in this game, so the fact this appears to be a nicely thought out, unique gun really does give one hope. Link to post Share on other sites

BigBabyMoses06 Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Well, isn't the real steel capable of both? I don't see why it shouldn't do both as well Link to post Share on other sites
cazboab Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 The A&K Masada was designed independently from the Magpul-PTS ACR. Thats the line PTS has been using, but the identical gearbox with the long nozzle and a few other similarities like the barrel nut(didn't PTS claim a ratcheting barrel nut?) suggest that line is in fact, bovine by product. The question is, AK or STANAG? Both, if the original statements are still valid. It'll come with the STANAG lower and you can buy the AK later but it won't be using TM-spec AK mags , rather it will use proprietary AK style mags Link to post Share on other sites

Robinio Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 I kinda questioned myself, If I was going for the STANAG or AK version... both seems to hawt. Link to post Share on other sites
