Scuffer Posted January 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Arrh yeah, got my RIS today, pictures of my increasingly expensive Masada up soon! Also I've got a few bits (14.5' barrel/FDE stock/foregrip) up for sale cheap if anyone is interested! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Noveske Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Does anyone have the PTS RIS and the RS RIS to compare? I want to know if the dimensions are exactly the same or if PTS actually left more room to accomodate a battery like they did with the polymer handguard. I only have the RS RIS and from the looks of it, it seems the only difference is the locking pin and the front screw hold which the RS RIS doesn't have. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wampa Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Not that anyone cares but I am planning on getting a RS ACR sometimes this month Then I will soon be able to have side to side pictures of my PTS and my RS versions =) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Apocalypsemeow Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Fitted my RIS last night, I'm so pleased with it I think I was still smiling when I woke up this morning Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mimesis Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Holy guacamole! It looks as if the 18" DMR is actually going to happen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
xPLAN303Ex Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 (edited) So I just got the adjustable folding stock today and... yes it is very nicely built, but I feel it was a waste because I am left handed, and I am kinda short (5' 5'') so the folding stock removes the only sling mount that works for me which is the one at the base of the fixed stock, the folding stock has it, but on the other side only, if I mount my sling there when I'm in the firing position the sling goes over the stock, if you do it slowly it's ok, but in the heat of the battle I'm sure it'll get in the way, I experienced with an AK before. I know I can use the ones (either the slotted one or the QD mount) at the end of the stock but as I said, I am kinda short and even with the sling as short as possible the barrel tip almost touches the ground while standing, so I don't feel too safe about that. There's another QD mount at the base of the handguard but that one seems geared more to the use of a 3-point sling, with one point the bulk of the weight of the gun is behind this point and if you let it go it will swivel the barrel upwards (and who knows, possibly poke you in the eye in the process). Really bummed (birthday gift from the wife) and don't want to return it, as I have to ship it all the way back to HK. Any other lefties have had this issue? Any solutions? Maybe I'll sell it and use the fixed stock.. Edited January 19, 2011 by xPLAN303Ex Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AnakChan Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Most with folding stock are like that though - G36C, KAC PDW, etc. So it's not specifically an ACR design blunder. I'm cack-handed too so I face the same bummer. The only exception I know (or have) is the SCAR-L. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
xPLAN303Ex Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 I wasn't trying to imply that it was an specific ACR design blunder, but it does somewhat kill how ambidextrous the gun is. I'll try it out this weekend and see if I like it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mimesis Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Holy guacamole! It looks as if the 18" DMR is actually going to happen. I don't know what happened to my pic, but OutletNW have a photo up on their twitter page misidentified as a 556 that shows what I take to be the long version of the Masada.

kithooton Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 (edited) Ambidextrous M4. Made By Magpul PTS. Internal Gears unsure? It could be the same as the Masada? It's the long version of the handguard. See pp. 8 and 11 of this brochure: http://www.magpul.com/pdfs/masada_technote.pdf And here:- In the Video he says about the 18 inch barrel. Hand Guard Looks the same! www.airsoftoutletnw.com Quoted: We asked MAGPUL PTS about the gas conversion for the ACR as well. They do still intend to produce a gas conversion system that will fit existing ACR airsoft rifles, but they are waiting for the KWA LM4 to clear ATF before they pursue any engineering aspects of the conversion. This is in part because of the current ambiguity regarding gas blowback airsoft rifles, and in part because they want to test all the available options to decide on the best engine to base the ACR GBBR on. Purists may note that on existing airsoft MAGPUL PTS ACR rifles, the handguard is larger than that found on the Bushmaster or Remington ACR. This was to accommodate NiMH type airsoft batteries. This year MAGPUL PTS is releasing the 'slimline' or real-spec handguard for the ACR AEG. These handguards will only fit slim lithium polymer batteries, so they will limit battery options but will provide a more realistic look. While many would consider these MOE AEG's merely filler, we were told that these rifles will feature a cut-off mechanism that will stop the rifle when the magazine is empty. On a side note, rumors from Airsoftology claim that MAGPUL PTS is no longer outsourcing manufacturing, but is doing the OEM themselves.

NeoVeNoM Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 If I am not mistaken, I saw an Magpul AEG on the site of G&P. But it was under Premium AEG and the receiver was supposed to be CNC made. Unfortunately it's no longer on the page Wolfarmouries claims to have it. http://www.wolfarmouries.co.uk/airsoft/bb/product.asp?page=product&id=GPDXE002 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 That's basically just a Sentry with an MRF instead of a DD rail, purely G&P's idea I'm sure, don't think PTS had anything much to do with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Carceroth Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 (edited) Hey i'm having a problem. my masada locks up on semi quite frequently and it seems random. i know its locked when of course it doesn't fire but also when it locks up the micro-switch does not click. The problem is fixed by firing a few shots on the full auto setting (which i heard was normal for non microswitch AEG's but not for microswitch AEG's) also it creates more ozone smell from the motor than i think is normal. as well it seems to be draining batteries pretty fast even when only fired on semi. can anyone help me with this i don't want to take my gearbox apart.

hmg9194 Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 That problem is a known problem on this weapon as well as the tavor, no fixes that I know of. I'm just glad it only happens like once a day for me, and that's when I really push it's trigger response limits 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
