Slayer750 Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 I just talked to the guys at eHobby and they said I am part of lot 4 of the preorder. Lot 3 just finished shipping out today, so hopefully I'll have an ACR of my own in the near future. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Reptile House Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Are these things really that bad OOTB? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sacairsoftsn00py Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Are these things really that bad OOTB? Â Its not what it seems to be. More like personal preference. The person who stripped their piston was due to the use of a LiPo. Â I noted early on that the second to the last tooth of the piston was not shaved. Shaving down part or the whole of the second to the last tooth is necessary when doing higher speed setups. Did the person who stripped his piston shave the second to the last tooth? I don't know. Â People posting the list of upgrades they plan on doing to the gun is not because the stock parts are faulty. Its probably due to personal preference. I posted what I installed in my MAGPUL PTS Masada and why I picked those parts so I can share my findings/results with those parts. The people on the forums seem to have taken the liking to my findings (thus seeing people post that they will be installing the Guarder 50/clear hop bucking and parts similar to my setup). Â The gun works great out of the box. Use of a 9.6v 1600mah NIMH battery on the gun shouldn't give you durability issues. The stock hop bucking (while not stellar) is fine. It provides adequate hop for .20g and .25g BBs. Â I highly suggest reading through the whole thread as there's a lot of info that people have shared about the gun before making any conclusions.

The Reptile House Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 I've been reading the thread from the start, but I didn't think anything indicated the need for the level of upgrades I've been reading about recently. Â You've illuminated the preference side for me - so thanks. I just hope nobody thinks these things need to be upgraded to shoot right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sacairsoftsn00py Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Cool dude. Glad we could help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Megalomaniac Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 They certainly do not need any form of upgrades to be more than skirmishable, mine did just fine at an outdoor game against guns slinging bbs at much higher velocities (400 w/ .25 vs my 350 with a .2), I'm not about to mess with my gun yet once spare barrels and gearboxes are available I'll start to tinker.

WTF?Shane Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 If the $64 of shipping wasn't enough, customs decided to charge me $28.40 because they had to mess with my gun. Luckily everything was in place and the gun works fine. Â With a 9.6v mini battery, the crisp trigger response puts a ear to ear *suitcase* eating grin on my face. This gun is fun to shoot. Time to play dress up and take pictures. Â Quote Link to post Share on other sites

anonimouse9 Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Are these things really that bad OOTB? Â Â From what I hear, and the other responses before me, the gun OOTB is pretty darn good. Even the low mid 300's FPS is perfect for my field. However, given that it's an expensive gun, and will be the upper end of my collection, I want to trick the sucker out to be all it can be. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
anonimouse9 Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 (edited) What kind of bushing should i get for this gun btw? Â NONE. From what I hear, and SNoop's review... they don't need to be replaced. Â Â TO the rest of you.... I hate you all !!!!!!!!!!!!! AirsoftGI is still reporting that mine won't get in my hands until late October. I'm praying I have it before a special event at my field around the same time.

sacairsoftsn00py Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 If you want some bushings/bearings, ebaybanned sells them for under $10 (shipped). Not sure what the quality will be like, but so long as you're not shooting over 400 FPS and have the gun shooting 30 rounds a second, those things should last a good while. Â I might actually downgrade my gun again (just the spring). I'll see. LoL! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BrooklynBorn Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 WGC has the folding stocks under Coming Soon. $70. Ouch. http://www.wgcshop.com/wgc2008/main/content_page.php?search=special&rs=Coming%20Soon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ericfine50 Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Ouch, as it too high? For 70, you could turn your Masada into a CQB Gun. At least they are starting to show the other accessories. Â Eric Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ericfine50 Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 That is fair, what would you think would be a fair price? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BrooklynBorn Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 That is fair, what would you think would be a fair price? Â I'm not really one to say. Each person would like to spend only so much. If it WERE me, I'd say the $40-$50 ish range is fair, considering the costs to get it decent and even running. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WTF?Shane Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 It's all about supply and demand. Let Magpul PTS price their products accordingly. Unless you can wait for a cheaper, possibly inferior clone to hit the market. Â At the moment, i'm fine the way my ACR is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 I'm surprised it's that cheap myself. I was under the impression it was going to be a lot more expensive given how much more complicated they are than the fixed stock and how much more labor intensive they were to make. They're a lot cheaper than the real deal from what I recall. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Leatherneck Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 $70 for the folding stock isn't bad, I wonder how sturdy it will be though. Maybe a real folding stock will fit and be more durable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Apocalypsemeow Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Am I the only one that doesn't really like a folding stock? I have one on my SCAR and never use it, the sliding adjustment is good but I'm not a fan of the folding. Â The fixed ACR stock is just awesome looking and I don't think I'll ever change it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sacairsoftsn00py Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 That's what you say now...just wait until they come out with freak n lazer attachments for it....then you'll want one...lol! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
