hmg9194 Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Ahhh the domino has started to fall, just ordered the piston, motor, sorbo, barrel, and piston head now all that's left is the buckings, gearset, mosfet, and batteries. I'm already getting excited Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Caelas Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Saw someone at my local field with a Masada yesterday, hopup is completely busted, doesn't work at all. He took it into AEX, they claim to have fixed it, but it is still broken. Sheesh... for 480$, I expected a little more from PTS. Brilliant externals though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hmg9194 Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 @Caelas yah hopup is pretty bad, but it's quite fixable by working around the nub by getting a bucking that is very effective and that also doesn't unitize the nub at all.

TheFull9 Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Has anyone tried to put an EGLM on their ACR? I have read that many people were able to put an eglm on their A&K masada but when I took my gun to Evike and tried a VFC Eglm it would not fit! Anyone able to help me on this? It'd probably work just fine with a STAR/ARES EGLM, the attachment mechanism on the VFC is the most horrific blight upon mankind since the black plague. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Because I had one, and it wouldn't attach to anything I tried it with, including a SCAR-L. There's reports out there by people who've bought one to go on a VFC SCAR (which surely it should fit to right?) and it still hasn't worked. Basically the 'jaws' that lock on to the rail are recessed far too deep in to the top of the launcher, so you pretty much have to attach a scope riser like this on to the bottom rail of your gun, then attach the VFC to that. Which is obviously a bad idea. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

beretta Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 It doesnt just fit straight on the A&K version either, you need to make a spacer for the under rail so the launcher clears the hand guards. I'd imagine it would be something similar with the Ares one. Â Â Â Â 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BigBabyMoses06 Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 (edited) Fatscout. IIRC the nozzle and hop is for the A&K masada. Â Â Now that the internals are not ARES/STAR... what is the way to tell? Im kind of interested in getting one now, but not with the bleh gearbox.

I'd imagine it would be something similar with the Ares one. The ARES is totally different, the locking mech sits right at the top so it'll bolt right on to pretty much any rail with no problem. Here's my ARES on a King Arms CASV, no washers or extra mounts just right on to the normal rail: Â Â The VFC wouldn't even go close when I tried to do the same thing with it. Whether it'd be reasonably easy to attach the VFC to the ACR handguard using the MOE rails and some longer bolts/washers I'm not sure, obviously it's possible with the right bits and some work but I don't think it'd be as secure or solid compared to using the ARES, certainly wouldn't be my personal choice.

jimmythetool Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 For anyone wondering about barrel/hop-up combinations... I just tried a madbull precision 6.01 tightbore (m4 length) with a madbull shark blue hop rubber vs. the original rubber. madbull hop was useless with .20's and .25's, very inconsistent. But the stock rubber (on full hop) throws our .25's with almost perfect accuracy at good range. Â anyone used any similar set ups? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yoann217 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Hi, Â I'm the writor of the post on france-airsoft about the wiitech hop up (so sorry for my english, I'm french ^^). Â so the wiitech hop up chamber is very good. It's improve my FPS (from 330fps to 340fps with stock ressort and Tanio koba 363mm and Translucide Guarder bucking, but stock rubber). The wiitech nozzle is longer than the stock part (about 1mm). Â But the stock rubber isn't powerfull to pull up the 0.25g bb, so I order a blue madbull, normaly I receive it this week, I will give you my feedback. Â some picture of my post : Â Â if someone have any solution to improve the hop up to pull up the bb, said it ! . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
redline Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 I have a 6.01mm madbull tightbore and tried using a G&P bucking...I got similar results to jimmythetool....the bb's were everywhere...in otherwords, I didn't notice any performance gains vs the stock barrel and stock bucking. I'm gonna try replace the bucking with the stock one and will post results. I didn't notice any FPS gain either. Stock, it was firing 320 FPS with .20. It was still firing 320 after the tightbore.

Skotia Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 This I highly doubt. PTS has no dealings with Remington or their designs. PTS only deals with Magpul designs and products. Even the current PTS ACR design is off the final generation of Magpul's Masada before it was sold off to Bushmaster and Remington who then further modified parts of the original design. So if Remington produces it, it is highly UNLIKELY PTS will produce it as well. Â If I remember correctly AAC is a subsidiary of Remington; and, as you recall, PTS released the AAC Blackout 51T flashhiders and AAC M4-2000 licensed (if I recall correctly) from AAC. Thus it's not entirely true that PTS had no dealings with Remington. After looking at the prices for the RIS foregrip, however, I doubt that I would be interested in such a product anymore...

Noveske Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) Ok FINALLY finished the mods on the ACR:  -Front flip-BUIS removed and replaced with rail -Shortened barrel to 10.5" with gasblock tucked into RIS -Bushmaster ACR RIS -PTS trademarks removed -Upper receiver sprayed coyote brown (not a perfect match, but oh well!) -Shell deflector sprayed black  Will be going with an AAC trilug soon and possibly a silencer option.   Comments appreciated.

DarkLite Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 That's very tasty, but it's just begging for a Tri-lug with an AAC QD suppressor. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
