uscmCorps Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 My GF called to let me know that my Masada sample came in. Still have no idea if it's FDE or Black, but a free sample's a free sample. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LeftyFlip Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 (edited) I understand that there's a smaller market for FG than the other colors, but it really seems like most retailers think that market is 0. Â edit wgc just put the fg acr up for preorder with a free mag, I went ahead and ordered it and 3 extra mags Edited August 13, 2010 by LeftyFlip Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Megalomaniac Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 I'll wait for the GBB kit, any word on what system it will be using, WE or WA or KWA or something else? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vercingetorix Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 (edited) Is Ehobby actually in stock with the FDE ACRs?  What optic.... I am thinking Dytac T1 with KAC mount.... Hmm....  Edit: MVG is it... /edit  Are all the internals just standard v2/M4/M16 parts? What type is the airnozzle? Tappet? Spring guide, cylinder head, etc?  It has a short motor, right? If so, does anyone know if it is possible to get tienly motors in the short type? Edited August 13, 2010 by Vercingetorix Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BrooklynBorn Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 MVG. Rails on their MOE handguards add a lot of bulk. Moved my hand too far from the gun. Did not like it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

uscmCorps Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 Back on topic ... Â Â I opened my PTS Masada box to discover there was something different about my Masada ... it had a few accessories ... Â Â A big thanks to Magpul PTS who supplied me with the sample and the accessories. Here are the additional sample items I will be reviewing soon: RIS rail, AK lower, short barrel assembly. Â Â While mine does say "Made in Hong Kong" on the side, I can tell I can scratch it off with a little effort. Â Â Â Overall ... It's ... so ... awesome. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NeoVeNoM Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 You sir, have just received the "Lucky SOB of the week"-award. Â Nice to know that accessories are just around the corner. If all goes well I'll be having mine at the end of the month. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tacitus Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 Man I am SO jealous! Â Did you get the normal lower reciever too? If so, do you think there's room to install an internal tracer unit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 LOL, thanks! I feel like a lucky SOB too . I wish I could spend more time with it, but I have another Tactical Carbine class this weekend and I have to get ready for that instead. Â Tacitus, the gun came in the default 5.56mm configuration that everyone else will be getting. PTS generous included the other items for me to review along with it. No idea about internal tracer unit space ... it doesn't use a normal V2 hopup so a internal tracer will either need to be a home brew design, or if PTS ever came out with their own.

Scuffer Posted August 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 The RIS kit looks spot on in FDE. Â Want! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Â It looks like you might be able to drill holes in the feed tube for mounting LEDs, like with a G36. If you get round to taking more pics at any point, I'd love to see some details of the feed tube/hopup/nozzle area. Â Also I'm keen to know the dimensions of the battery compartment. It looks like it might take a slightly larger battery than the standard 'mini' size...? Â I'd also love to know if anyone is planning to run a LiPo battery in the gun in it's stock configuration. From what we've seen of the internals so far it looks like they can take it, but it would be great to know for sure whether it's 'LiPo ready' OOTB. Â Now that production models are out, I'm sure there will be dozens more questions from potential owners... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Apocalypsemeow Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 Damn you're lucky, it's good to see that they take care of their friends I really like the look of the AK lower, it'll definitely will be on the list of accessories to get! Â The real question though is how does it compare to the other take downs in this thread and how does it shoot? Has anything changed internally from the last time?

uscmCorps Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 The RIS kit looks spot on in FDE. Yup. I'm really impressed with the FDE finish. the metal FDE parts are a perfect match to the polymer parts. They don't stand out as two different colored materials. Â I'd also love to know if anyone is planning to run a LiPo battery in the gun in it's stock configuration. From what we've seen of the internals so far it looks like they can take it, but it would be great to know for sure whether it's 'LiPo ready' OOTB. I'll be using lipo with it OOTB. From what PTS told me, it should be fine. Â The real question though is how does it compare to the other take downs in this thread and how does it shoot? Has anything changed internally from the last time? Nothing's changed since I saw it in their offices a year ago. Take down was simple, and now that I know how to do it, I can swap lowers in under 5 minutes start to finish. It's a brilliant design. The only thing I'm still trying to figure out is how to get the selector gears to properly line up with the external gears on the gear box that move the selector plate. Seems a bit finicky. But that could be user error. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Â Erm, I think you have to out the selectors to fully auto before re-inserting the gearbox - can't remember it was something like that though! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Abelius Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 (edited) And now, please, somebody have the courage to pop one open. I must know if they really have changed away from Ares internals, as especially their motor the that pictures have shown to date, is absolute rubbish.

For the first time I was actually looking forward to PTS taking some time before the release of the accessories so I could save up dough. *sigh* Looks like I'll be working some doubles. That 7.62 lower is just too sexy to pass up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That 7.62 lower is just too sexy to pass up. Â I know the feeling First payday will be the gun and then every payday after that will be devoted to the different barrel lengths, the AK lower, RIS hand guard, springs and maybe even the folding stock. Never mind the other bits and pieces to go along with it! Â It's not the customization that makes this gun great, it's the fact it can be done with minimal effort compared to most guns Quote Link to post Share on other sites
