Mad-Larkin Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) With that wiitech hop nub, I'm assuming you lose the quick barrel swap function as the nubs not attached and falls out? It's not the end of the world tbh, just wondering Edited July 31, 2012 by Mad-Larkin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gazw Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Thought so, its second hand and came that way :/ fire support are out of stock at the moment so may look into that wiitech thing. How would I go about ordering direct from magpul? Cheers for info Need to contact Edgar Brothers in the UK, though I didnt get any response when I contacted them a while back.

It's not the end of the world tbh, just wondering I believe most people glue the nub so that it doesn't fall out when changing barrels. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
V3RTIGO Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 you dont lose the qd barrel option. you just glue the nub in place. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hmg9194 Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 (edited) Hey guys, just an update about my Masada. Got it fully upgraded finally and working, although I'm having bouncing issues that will soon be solved by some programming and an extra data module extreme fire is going to fix up for me. I run Firefox 11.1v 20c batteries, got about 4 of them so I don't run out. Got an AWS Pulse running it in without the green gear detection wire installed (for the sake of making it less complicated so I have a working gun until my SSR comes back to me. Element Red Ultra Torque Motor turns the RiotSC Revolution gears with modify bushings. I have a Modify piston in it as it is a nice drop in fit. I plan on ordering several more as well as a couple red Element full steel teeth pistons to try so I'll be prepared for anything. Modify cylinder, cylinder head and piston head along with a wiitech nozzle. I didn't see an o ring in the nozzle though so I think I'm going to pop in one of the ones from AirsoftPro. I PDI 6.05 barrel and R-Hop take care of the barrel assembly quite nicely, putting .25 bbs very well past 200'. R-Hop really shines with heavier bbs but I bought tons of .25s so that'll have to wait. I have several springs I use for different environments but I usually use a 380 fps with .2s one. With this spring I'm landing around 25 or 26 rps but I think fixing the bouncing issue should bump that up closer to 30 of not over. Question for Anyone who has bought the real size hand guard, is there much difference laying the two by each other? Any noticeable look with it on the gun vs the stock one? Thanks guys, I'll leave you with some pictures with how I'm running it. (usually without the suppressor however) Edited August 1, 2012 by hmg9194 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starburst Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Great looking Masada there! I am still putting mine together, had it since last November and getting the parts I want has been slow (combination of lack of funds and no-one having them in stock). This may be a good place to ask, has anyone heard anything about PTS discontinuing the folding/sliding stock? Heard a couple of people mention a rumour that they have although that wouldnt make much sense as the AKM comes with it as standard. Cheers Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ODST_NE0 Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 It could be that they are halting production of them due to surplus, I think the two can be confused easily. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starburst Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 While that is possible it wouldnt make sense as there are so few stores with any stock with the exception of some well known HK stores which have been getting new stock. If there were a surplus you would think retailers here would have an easier time getting hold of them but everyone I have spoken to said they are on back order. It is possible the halted production as I read somewhere there was a problem with them, with some stores now getting stocks in it could suggest what ever the issue was has been fixed and production resumed...anyone know a friendly PTS dealer who might know for sure? If need be I may have to break my self imposed ban on ordering in parts from abroad haha! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gazw Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 I heard a rumour stock was not being replenished because they were revising the design, don't know the details though. Anyhow reports are stock has begun to trickle back in for a few online retailers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Probotector Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 Masada PTS olololol Great externals, hop up design sucks though. I accidently bent the hop up nub by removing the barrel and not turning the unit off. Bent it back to normal and wound a small layer or teflon tape over it. it barely had any hop before, no it works fine (in conjunction with Systema rubber). No tools at home, looking forward to get it upgraded from another player I met (~400 FPS). Oh, and I'm not buying the RIS, looks ###### IMO. ;-) And troll flash hider is trolling. Will be replaced with a XM177E2 one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ODST_NE0 Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 Got Enough Rails Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Seraph01 Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 hmmmmm, looks good but what do you attach that you need that much rail space? Are you sure you don't want the railed hand guard? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Probotector Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 I'll use a MVG foregrip for the rail under the handguard. The siderails are just decoration, I like the contrast between the black polymer rails and tan body. I'll probably put rail covers on the siderails.anyway. I really don't like the RIS. The shape of the original handguard looks better imo. I like ridiculous stuff, can't have enough rails. ;P Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Attaching rails then just putting rail covers on them seems a tad counter-productive to me personally. But hey if you like the aesthetics then crack on, it's your rifle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TK4235 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 My Masada has been gathering dust, no idea if i'm ever gonna skirmish with it again. Even brought the CQB barrel and the metal hand guard on a whim coz I thought they looked nice...lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Seraph01 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 such a sad post too bad I'm broke cause I'd offer to take it off your hands Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Seraph01 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Ok, so my stock masada has finally stripped the piston. I ordered a Systema Ver2 polycarb piston to replace it but apparently it doesn't fit in the Masdada gearbox. When I close the two halves the piston gets wedged between them and isn't able to slide freely. I believe it's because the piston doesnt have a perfectly round shape, its more of a octagon, and the points are coming into contact with the shell. I've seen alot of other pistons being used in this thread but would like to buy one that would be a drop in replacement without too much modification required. Anyone have a suggestion from their installations? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChickenWatermelon Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Maybe send an e-mail to the distributor to see what type of gears that gearbox has? Could help you figure out what's wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hmg9194 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Modify purple or element red both work without modification. A modify one is holding mine at 390 fps and 30 rps Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Seraph01 Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 I definitely know it's not the gears. I can visually see the edges of the piston making contact with the sides of the gearbox when viewing from the spring removal hole. I will take a look at the modify piston Ive hear good things about them. Any know if Guarder pistons work? Actually it would be really nice to have people post up their setups and mods for future reference. I know some have but you have to search through all 124 pages to find it. I only say this because now that I'm replacing the piston Ive been looking at gears, mosfets, cylinders, heads, the works but would like to see what brands and configurations have worked well together.

LUVS2CQB Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 the one ive found that works great is a modify full tooth marui piston (its purple) works like a charm and theres no modding required for it to fit in the gun Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LUVS2CQB Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 heres my internal setup so far: G&P short type m120 motor madbull m120 spring systema silent head kit (aug) modify full tooth marui piston deans wiring pdi w hold bucking i plan to install the full wii tech kit as well as a KM tightbore the gears seem to be holding up fine so i wont replace them anytime soon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
