LeftyFlip Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 when I've shipped from them in the past it's been like 30-40 bucks, but after these shenanigans I'm not sure what to expect. I'm hoping for redwolf to put it up. That would be awesome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BrooklynBorn Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Well, you're in luck. Redwolf is definitely picking it up. Â Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SuperKingBigNuts Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 so,you ugys think its gonna go out of stock quick?and compared to a heavly upgraded M4(like i was going to get) Â versus this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BrooklynBorn Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Hell yeah. Â Â And what do you mean heavily upgraded? You can't compare the 2. They're different rifles altogether. We still don't know what the final internals are or how it performs, or what M4 you're even talking about. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LeftyFlip Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 now I just need to keep checking redwolf constantly so I can grab a preorder asap. I wonder if foliage sold out on ehobby because it's more popular than they expected or if it just shipped in lower numbers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tacitus Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 WGC want $79.21 to ship one to the UK. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 OT content  You are once again drifting far into off topic territory. Please keep this on topic. No one knows conclusively anything about the internals on this gun. So to try and compare it to another product in terms of performance is EXTREMELY PREMATURE and wastes forum space.

Scuffer Posted July 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Production Model Update!  Ok chaps to add some more fuel for the fire of the endless speculation on here, here are a few more pictures! I’ve been sitting on these for a while now – they show a final production model of the Masada (00003).  You’ll notice a few differences in it – firstly the gearbox shell and markings, the shell being black with ‘PTS’ markings along with other parts looking far more shiny and refined. Secondly with these better pictures you’ll be able to see some of the very nice detail, markings and finish of the externals up close and personal. Also I’ve included a few pictures of the standard foregrip.  Just to confirm a few things for people – this is the standard off the shelf set-up – 14’ barrel, fixed stock, standard foregrip; also a MBUIS and P-Mag will be included. For the UK forum members, you guys will have to wait an extra week or two after the rest of the world due to the UK spec Masada being made in a difference batch to the rest of the world (RoHS compliant, 330FPS and all legit UK ones will have a mark or hologram from the importer).  A few things that jumped out at me from this again was how solid and refined the finished thing felt, the operation was the same – still smooth and snappy and overall feeling very balanced. You’ve all heard me waffling on about the Masada’s pro’s in game and the quality of the parts and quick take down features, and this finished model confirms my thoughts on it really!   Enjoy!

beretta Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Looks good, Â I like the magpul logo's in the grip like the real MIADs etc, Â The gearbox appears to be the same as the older one only with a logo and a lick of paint. Â what do ya think of the gearbox itself? does it still have the screws in it, visible through the magwell? does it still have a microswitch? do the internals looks decent? Â Â cheers, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Â Â cheers, Hi mate, Â yer it's still accessed via the screws in the magwell and bottom of the grip, it's still micro switch aswell. Again my hands were tied and I wasn't able to take this one to bits so can't comment on the individual internal parts, from what you can see via the outside of the box though it all looks good - the actual casing is very nice and looks/feels very good quality, still looked like a plastic spring guide which is prehaps a little dissappointing for a modern 'fully upgraded' AEG (plastic spring guides are a pet peeve of mine), but that said it wasn't like a standard hollow spring guide so I doubt it'll break anytime soon. The likes of the cylinder, nossle, spring, wiring etc all seem to a very good standard, and prehaps reassuringly for those that have to take apart and customise/upgrade everything, I think these are the perfect platform for it as they seem solid, simple and well made internally. Further to that I imagine that plenty of companies will be making specific aftermarket parts, in a similar fashion to the TM EBB M4, and Magpul will offer a full range of spare hardware to fix any breaks/wear that occurs.

Abelius Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Is there a particular reason you can't show us the internals? It's kinda the biggest question mark the thing has on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I thought I had read otherwise... Â Oh..to the guy who advised yesterday was the great day...YOU ARE THE MAN!!!! Â Â Â As I posted above, Airsoft Outlet NW is projecting late September/early October. I think ASGI's ETA of very late October is overly pessimistic, and perhaps designed to pre-empt recriminations if the delivery date gets pushed back yet again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beretta Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Thanks for the info scuffer., Â Do you know if the cylinder is a full bore Type-0 jobbie? or is there a vent that cant be seen in those pics? seems like a bit of a short barrel for that kinda cylinder, although maybe that did that so people can stick in QD longer barrels without having the change the cylinder aswell.

Amenthea Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Thanks for posting that Scuffer. Price is looking a little high for me though. I was hoping it would be closer to the £300-350 mark then £400. I agree it is nice but its not £400 nice, especially when you consider you could pick up a very tasty G&P for that + extras.

Tacitus Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 If you order it from eHobbyAsia, you'll pay £350 with shipping.  I've never had to pay any extra cost on orders from eHA, but they've all been relatively small. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Â The frontsight is integrated into the top rail, rather like the URX design. When it's down it's just the front part of the top rail. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
