uscmCorps Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 I need people's opinion. I don't have an AAC Flashhider handy in CW threading so ... which looks the best? Classic BirdCage: KAC TTB: KAC SuperTap: KAC M110: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slayer750 Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 My vote goes to the Classic Birdcage. I have a VLTOR compensator replica that came with my G&P Sentry on the Masada at the moment, and I think that it complements the rifle fairly nicely. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ericfine50 Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Of those, I like the Classic Birdpage. I have an Element CW/CCW Flashider that looks pretty cool on the Masada. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 I like the birdcage too. Though I'm pretty sure I have a VLTOR flashhider around here somewhere I can try out. That's a good suggestion! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morbiz Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Sooooo replace hopup chamber or not? Lol it looks cleaner and like it would enhance something. IMO it's not worth the work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Megalomaniac Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Go and get the AAC looks awesome, on both the 11.5 and 14.5. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Philbucknall Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Usmc, are those photos mock ups or have you got one of the AK Masadas already? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 It's a sample/prototype I've been testing for about a year now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Philbucknall Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 You lucky lucky man! Need any help testing it by any chance? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Megalomaniac Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Thats TWO micro-switches I've had fail now, my current one works fine in SEMI but if you pull all the way to the rear in AUTO it stops firing. GREAT. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nikon Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Ive had two micro switches fail on me also. It is really a terrible design.. Do you guys have MOSFETs in there? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Megalomaniac Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Do you guys have MOSFETs in there? No MOSFET in mine, it isn't burning out of contacts or something of that manner, it is a physical failure of the micro-switch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AnakChan Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Do you guys have MOSFETs in there? My 2 yen worth :- I have an AWS Scorpion X500 in mine (review found here http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=192137&pid=2434891&st=0entry2434891). However, I believe the failures Megalomaniac are seeing is has more to do with the poor auto-cutoff mechanism (the springy bit) than with whether he's FETted it or not. The micro-trigger failures are common with Tavor's too (which uses the same concept). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Megalomaniac Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 I have a feeling the failure is due to sheer number of trigger pulls, this micro switch lasted through two bags of bioval .27s (3700 each), 1 bag of TSD .28s (5000), 1 bag of TSD BIO .26s (3000), and 1 bag of Bioval .25s (4000) for a total of around 19k rounds assume 18k of those went through the gun, each and every one of those was done on semi, since late November/Early December.

Curious, what kind of batteries are you using? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Megalomaniac Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 I've ran 8.4v Minis, 9.6v nunchuck, and 11.1v 15c Li-Po. The 9.6v is my prefered battery as if I do need to go FA I can do so without fear of overspin, but the trigger response on 11.1 is amazing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hmg9194 Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Well theres your problem most likely, no 11.1 lipo mosfet, then lipo MY GUN IS GOING TO BE DONE ON WEDNESDAY, VIDEO WILL FOLLOW :DDDDD Everything I'm putting into it: RiotSC Rev. Gearset Azimuth 7 steel tooth piston ARS Cylinder Head Sorbo AWS Pulse Mosfet 11.1v 1200mah batteries (x4) Deans PDI 6.05mm barrel PDI W Hold Bucking Element Max torque motor Prometheus POM Piston Head Later I'm going to put in the Wiitech air nozzle and maybe the hopup, once he hear more opinions of it..

The micro-trigger failures are common with Tavor's too (which uses the same concept). The number of trigger pulls and short MTBF on these make sense. So are they easy to fix? If not, where do you find a replacement for these if you need to and can you get a beefier version with a higher MTBF? Edited March 17, 2011 by Nikon Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The 9.6v is my prefered battery as if I do need to go FA I can do so without fear of overspin, but the trigger response on 11.1 is amazing. Do you know if the trigger microswitches are rated to use 12.6V? (full charged LIPO) I've been using 7.4Vs and haven't had any issues thus far on both my ACRs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joefuels Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Thats TWO micro-switches I've had fail now, my current one works fine in SEMI but if you pull all the way to the rear in AUTO it stops firing. GREAT. Where do you buy replacment micro switches? ithink i'm having the same problem with mine. My masada is been out for 2 weeks now and i cant seem to figure out the problem. i was thinking on replacing the micro switch to see if that works. Can i buy this part at radio shack or fry's?

Megalomaniac Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 First one was under warranty, this one I have no idea, and I do not think the 11.1 caused the failure as the first switch only ever saw the 8.4v mini, and another local had his go down after running it on a 7.4v 15c.

mrwcmpsol Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 So I heard from various sources that Magpul was no longer going to outsource the gearbox to Ares and create their own in-house version for the gen 2 Masada. I sent a few e-mails off to various dealers asking if they had heard anything about this and if they were getting these "gen 2" Masadas in stock anytime soon... I found the first reply I received interesting... I don’t know where you got the idea the internals are made by ARES. It is totally untrue. The biggest falsehood. The item made at the present time is by magpul PTS. Magpul has not licensed and will not licenese this item to anyone for now. All parts are genuine Magpul PTS parts. There is no version 2 and most likely will not have one. All parts on this rifle is unique to Magpul Masada ACR. ARES has no involvement in this. Hmmmm... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
