Horsem4n Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 maybe its a primer base coat. you cant paint directly on metal with normal paint if you want the best finish. Link to post Share on other sites
Rob15 Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Indeed, but if it is actual machined aluminium then why not show it off? And if it is milled from a high grade alu as was previously suggested in another thread then why even paint it rather than anodizing/hard anodizing it? Link to post Share on other sites
Horsem4n Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 you expect me to know? i just figured the best possibility. maybe they just dont want to show it off? Link to post Share on other sites
aquadrummer Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Release around march?! Is no one else ###### about this? I've been waiting and waiting and now they postpone another month or more? Link to post Share on other sites
bbondaloose Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 I think everyone is about used to the constant postpone of the airsoft industry world. Just think of it as time that you can save up more money for the loads of stuff coming for it down the road, like longer barrels, drop in GBB kit, and such. Link to post Share on other sites
Reincarnation... Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Release around march?! Is no one else ###### about this? I've been waiting and waiting and now they postpone another month or more? I'm not. January announcement and a March release sounds perfectly normal to me. I think Magpul PTS should adopt Magpul Inc.'s policy about news and development. It's released when it is released. No news or hint about it until it is released. Helps avoiding this blah blah postpone again blah blah what a load of blah blah. Link to post Share on other sites

WhiteHawksan Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Indeed things, come when they come, they can promise next week and you don't believe it 'til you can ACTUALLY buy one, and not just pre-order either. Link to post Share on other sites

Shift Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Thank you very much for the pictures. Wow, I really like the look of the AK chambered ACR (I didn't think I would). So are those the "sale" configurations? Because I think I'd rather get the retractable stock as well. Or is the AK model just su-upped up? Thanks in advance. Link to post Share on other sites
aquadrummer Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 True, but has there still technically been an announcement? They are showcasing it at the shot show, but there has been no "press release" so to speak whitehawksan, what do you mean by buy it next week? Link to post Share on other sites

halcon_del_sur Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Masada/ACR, Massoud and AK variant are sooooo beautiful, but for some reason I'm not planning to get any of them in the short time... Damn M-4's, look what you have done to meee! Link to post Share on other sites

AK lower, 2 short barrels, and the adjustable stock are all options. one question, where is Bolt Release on AK Lower (inside trigger guard ?) Yes it is. Link to post Share on other sites
DenverAirsoft Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 The Magpul-PTS ACR is a replica of early generation Bushmaster ACR's which kept the front integrated sight. Circa 2008. The Current Remington ACR's are different then these and were redesinged after the Magpul-PTS ACR. Will confirm at Shotshow if the Bushmaster and Remington ACR's will be configured for different markets and come with different loadouts. Apologies for the over use of watermarks. There seems to be a bad habit of bloggers and some youtubers to not give credit to who's orignally posting info. I thought I would be a lot more impressed than I am to be honest. Firstly, what happened to the 'latest version of the ACR'. All I see is the new gas block and foreward charging handle. It still has the intergarated front sight and black edge around the entire ejection port. This suggests that the gun is based on the Bushmaster ACR. After Remington came into the picture several more obvious changes were made. I'll still be keeping my eye on the ACR, but as of right now it looks like my money will be better spent elsewhere. -OGGY The Bushmaster and Remington ACR are basically the same with very minor differneces. The PTS version as posted in the pics looks to be based off the 2008 Shot Show ACR early on when Bushmaster first purchased the rights to the Masada (ACR) from Magpul. They kept the inergrated front sight added the forward assist along with the forward G3 style charging handle and the new gas system. The final production Bushmaster and Remington are mirror images of each other with a different roll mark and a few differences I'llpoint out. After all, Bushmaster and Remigton are owned by the same company! The current production version of the ACR removed the intergrated sight and the big forward assist tab on the charging handle. They also changed the brass deflector. The Remington Version and Bushmaster version are the same except: The Bushmaster is Semi-Auto for Civi and State/Local LEO sales as patrol rifles. Remingon is the full auto Military version for Military / LE Agency Purchase ONLY. The Bushmaster has a 1/9 barrel twist. The Remington has the Mil standard 1/7 (for use with heavier ammo) The Bushmaster is reported to be 8.2lbs. So over 1lb heavier then the Remingon that is supposed to weigh in at 7lbs. The Remington Military version has a new modular rail fore-end and no longer has that ugly MOE looking plastic. So... The PTS version as pictured is WRONG and is not currently accurate to the RS production model. I would know... I've actually held the real deal. Was even going to buy one in May but don't feel like spending $3000 on a rifle I can't even use at work. If you are going for realism buy a SCAR... Atleast it really is in Military Service and the AS versions are fairly accurate to the RS. Link to post Share on other sites
