MinisterofDeath Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 Many of the folks who purchase the real steel Bushmaster ACR "Basic" are electing to change the stock from the fixed to the adjustable folder, but are keeping the MOE foregrip. I actually like not only the look of the polymer MOE foregrip, but the weight savings as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Megalomaniac Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 Does anyone know if there will be a fixed retractable stock? Or a short fixed stock? As I prefer the fully tucked length but the lack of a right side single point sling mount is a drag. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BerserkDS Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 nope. And the fixed stock is actually a short one Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Â Get one of the single point sling mounts and put it on the right of the fixed stock then use the QD sling point on the left? Not ideal but it could work.

JayoH Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 OMG! okay so i finally read all these 75 friggin pages on this gun lol ive had mine now for about a month, im new to the airsoft deal but i had sum extra cash and decided to buy the masada i love the gun bought it in the Dark Earth im currently running it on the intellect 9.6v 1200mah battery and using .20 GnG bb's thank god i havent had any of the horrible problems that some of you have encountered, however i have had one problem which may be nothing. when i load my Pmag in and shoot maybe5-10 shots in semi-auto... i get maybe 4-5/10 bb's and the remaining dry shots. pretty much does the same on full auto, when i release the mag from the gun, usually anywhere from 2--5 bb's will fall out as if they have just been kicking back in there the whole time lol. i took it out today on full battery, and shot probably close to 1000 bb's and noticed the problem is STILL there, but it isnt as bad with the dry shots. however when releasing the mag for reload, there is again a few bb's that will fall out. the gun is still stock, however after seeing and reading on some of these masadas you all own (which look just amazing!) i was wanting to do some upgrades to mine in the near future. one of my questions was : is there an easy fix to this bb feeding problem? my other question would be : what would be some good upgrade suggestions? I.e. battery/hop up/motor/gears/etc... thanks for any responses in advance! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WTF?Shane Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 ^^Have you tried a different magazine? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JayoH Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 no sir not yet..... when i bought the gun, i just used the one Pmag it came with, did not know if i was going to enjoy the gun to purchase more then the 800 bucks i put into (yes i know why spend all that money on something you might not like) but if that could be a fix for it, then what would be a mag you would prefer using??

WTF?Shane Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 For magazines, read this thread: http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=189515&st=0&p=2371726&hl=+masada%20+magazine&fromsearch=1entry2371726 Â If you want to troubleshoot the magazine. Load it up and release the bbs. It would be helpful to use a empty bottle to catch the bbs. If the bbs eject slowly, then there's a possible jam in the magazine or a faulty spring. Try lubing it with silicone oil spray and test again. If you want, you can disassemble the mag and clean and lube the internals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Squeek Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 I would try better quality bb's if I was you before I blamed the magazine! The ACR is a little picky in that way! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
anonimouse9 Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Ok, I think I'm crazy.... Â Can anyone suggest where I can find a sling that uses the integrated QD mounts on this rifle? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not ideal but it could work.  Huge fan of the fixed stock myself  My issue is with the folder is fully tucked in it is greatly shorter than the fixed stock, but because of the folding mechanism lacks anywhere to mount a sling in the one-point position on the right side. Kind if an odd over-sight for an otherwise COMPLETELY Ambi-Gun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Â There's a lot of slings you can purchase and just add your own QD push button sling adapters or whatever adapter for the application. You can look into the Blue Force Gear Vickers slings, which they have a dedicated QD sling if you're interested, but it's a little pricey. Or you can buy the VCAS and buy the adapters separately, which you can swap out for different mounts and adapters if needed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well, you said it was a design flaw that the folder wasn't ambi, but there wasn't really a way around it. Eventually, I think they will have a PRS-esque stock for the ACR, but that is probably a long way off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hokum Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 Dude, actually that isn't wrong... That is SPR version (long barrelled ) look at Masada technote or at Massoud version. I'm actually waiting for PTS to make that version parts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
