Scuffer Posted October 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 Does everybody have those mold lines on their black Masadas? Just wondering whether there's any link to the colour and the seem/molding issues. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ycare Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 Does everybody have those mold lines on their black Masadas? Just wondering whether there's any link to the colour and the seem/molding issues. Â Dark Earth has the same mold lines, but I mean come on... you have to be very close to see them and you can barely feel them with your hands... I don't see really how this is a problem, I think some of us have come to expect a little too much from what is still an airsoft gun, even for 450$. It's not metal, you'll always have molding marks on this kind of imaterial, even the PMAGs have those, look closely! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ericfine50 Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 I don't think it is a molding issue. when you break something out of a mold, you will get some lines. They look faint and the gun I looked at, they were very slight and not noticeable unless you were looking for them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Disajim Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 The mold lines are just a minor detail. General look of this gun is great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I do on the hand guard, stock etc. $450 is still a good price, £300'ish for a Solid Airsoft Gun with little wobble, with all the accessorise from Magpul, and the things your able to do with it. To be honest i think its a bargain. Great bit of Kit  Great for first timers (Buyers), one airsoft gun to do Wood or Urban, with the ability for a beginner to change FPS and Stock, Barrel length etc. With out cost with the shop doing tho's changes.  Don't Like the M4 anymore.    Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beretta Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 Those molding lines don't look too bad to be honest, Its not something id have a problem with personally, Ive seen much more sloppy ones on other masada's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PlasticMag Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 That's not a mold line to get upset about. Hell, that's about normal for a mass produced polymer replica. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sacairsoftsn00py Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 Wow. I must say that people are being way too petty about mold marks and what not. Â *shrugs* Â On a side note, someone finally has an outer barrel with a spacer on it. That makes me go "hmmmm" Â Why? Â Cause it makes me wonder if the short outer barrel kits will come with em or not. My Masada does not need the shim as my locking mechanism sits centered as it should.

sacairsoftsn00py Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Page 55, reply #13, your answer is there. Â It was a question directed at myself. Â Did you catch the part where I said that I was wondering whether the upcoming short outer barrels will come or will not come with the said spacers? Â What I was really wondering about was whether or not the short outer barrels will come with the washers pre-installed...or if they will even include washers. It'd make sense to include washers (provided that they're easy to install). Haven't looked at the manual in forever as mine has no issues that I have not addressed/fixed.

sacairsoftsn00py Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Happens dude! Â Fielded my gun once again. Went through 200 or so rounds and took out a bunch of people from varying distances. My gun just had stupid range getting kills around or past 200 feet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WTF?Shane Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Just came back from another game and gun still performs perfect. Kinda bummed that chrono reading seemed low with .25g bbs, but I still was able to take out targets at around 50 yards. I think it's time to put a stronger spring in.

Slayer750 Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 I fielded my Masada for the first time today. I have to say, it performed amazingly well. Much better than I expected. I had a LOT of fun with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Regarding the mold lines, I saw worse on real ACRs at Shot Show this year, and I handled a LOT of ACRs at the Show at various different booths. If you want to go by mold lines, the PTS version is nicer than the real deal. As for the new barrel sets, they WILL come with spacers as I've said before. Just not clear on if they will be pre-installed (but I don't believe they will be). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you want to go by mold lines, the PTS version is nicer than the real deal. Well, that means the "mold problem" isn't really a problem I just hope that PTS will solve the barrel and handguard wobbling problems and maybe improve the metal parts paint finish (the front sight wear point).

Apocalypsemeow Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 (edited) I got my FDE Masada yesterday, didn't have a chance to play with it as all my batteries are wired for Deans I've changed the masada to deans though and I can't wait to give it a good work out next Sunday! I don't have any washers on my barrel but it seems to sit quite nicely with almost no wobble at all. There are a few mold lines, but nothing worse that I've seen on any of my other guns.  Only fired off about half a mag in the back garden at 10pm last night but it was a joy to shoot  The only thing I don't like about the gun is that it has made me put my beloved SCAR away for awhile Edited October 4, 2010 by Apocalypsemeow Quote Link to post Share on other sites
anonimouse9 Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Well I finally got to field my weapon. The only upgrade I did was pop in a M120 spring, and was still only getting about 380fps with .25 ammo. But first impressions getting to play with it.... AWESOME. Â Range: extremely impressive. WIth the hop-up only 1/2 way engaged, I was getting great combat range with .25 ammo. Very easy to reach out and touch someone, and out-ranging some other people with similar guns. Â ROF: using 9.6v, 2000mAh - fast. Very fast. I don't tend to be a spray player, but due to the high ROF I was able to put out some mean bursts. I can't wait until I get around to installing my MOSFET so I can program in 3-round bursts. Â Power: Again, 380 FPS with .25 ammo. Which is fine as my field has a 400fps limit, and I'm still getting more than the range I was expecting. I do plan on popping in a M135 spring, just to see how it performs. (After all, changing springs is an under-2 minute task with this gun). Â Weight/Feel: I loved how this rifle felt in my hands playing. Very light, so less arm fatigue after a full day. Â Someone told me the stock motor is indeed rated for up to 150-power springs. Not sure how true, so I'll do a comparison with my stock motor, and the G&G Torque motor. Â After a full day of playing, I'm completely satisfied with this gun, even stock. Can't wait to 'sup it up. My only complaint, retaining pin fell out of the hand-guard pin. That's a simple fix (I still have the pin, so just need to bend it tighter. Â Â Â Love this guN! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wingmann Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 Power: Again, 380 FPS with .25 ammo. Which is fine as my field has a 400fps limit 380FPS with .25s are 1.68joules of energy, which translate to 425fps using 0.20 BBs Field limits are usually figured using .20 BBs, so unless your field is different you are well over the limit.

Megalomaniac Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 Most US outdoor fields are around that, my local is 400 with a .25. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Â My field chrono's with .25's and recommends .25 bio to all players. But the rules are semi loose, unless you're gun is too hot in which case you're given a minimum engagement distance (especially for sniper/DMR rifles). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SixtyNiner Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 I've just read all 58 pages - it's been slow at work today. Thanks to everyone who posted their reviews, comments and advice. Â There have been several people intending to fit a mosfet to their Masada but has anyone actually done it yet? Just curious as I'm a mosfet newb and am considering taking the plunge with a Masada and pimping it to the max... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
