wampa Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Had my gun completely upgraded. Now all I need left is a battery. What lipo battery do you guys use that fits the handguard and where did you get them? A Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hmg9194 Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 anything smaller than 20mmx30mm I believe. I am using FireFox Lipos from RSOV (so that I can use the same batteries with my tavor, not getting into details of my setup w/ the mosfet in there but nevertheless its tight ). What did you have yours upgraded with? I'm about to deck mine out as well, all the parts are on their way Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SwatMP5man Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 I use 7.4v 1900mAh li-pos, fit nicely in the standard handguard and last all day. Component Shop is my retailer of choice for the batteries. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm about to deck mine out as well, all the parts are on their way  I placed on an extreme fire mosfet Prometheus Gears, Prommy M120 spring, PDI 6.01 TBB, G&P piston, AE motor and a few others I cant remember =P Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimboDelta286 Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 hi guys new to the forum and this is my first post  S/N MPTS03015 in DE  been reading through all the pages found what i needed to know about how to fix the hop as i made the mistake of removing the barrel without winding the hop down squashed the nub but thats all sorted  had mine since november and put around 14,000 rounds through it on semi as don't feel the need to use full auto had one or 2 lock ups but quick burst of full auto sorted it still running fine gun is all stock still been using a 7.4 lipo just looking into a new motor as mine is a little whiney and possibly fitting a mosfet will do this when i service it in a week or 2  but i am very happy with my purchase and have not used any of my other guns as this out performs them all!   PS thanks for all your advice and helpful tips on here helped me out without having to repost other people questions keep up the good work  cheers jim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Philbucknall Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Battery wise I run a flightpower 7.4v 2200mah lipo with plenty of room to spare. That'll last me all day using midcaps. A mate uses a 3000mah battery but it's a bit of a squeeze in the handguard! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hal9000 Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 I know the GB is not exactly a version two but has anyone tried installing a Airsoft System Smart Control Unit.

AnakChan Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 The trigger assembly is completely different. ASCU wouldn't work in there at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slayer750 Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Has Magpul PTS completely scratched the idea of building a drop-in GBB system into the ACR? I haven't heard anything about it in months. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 I'm sure it'll surface in about 2013, look how long the ACR itself took to be released. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kithooton Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 (edited) Has Magpul PTS completely scratched the idea of building a drop-in GBB system into the ACR? I haven't heard anything about it in months. Â Quoted: By airsoftoutletnw Shotshow 2011 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.

Tankbuster1 Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 I've read all the post about the Masada but I'm still on the fence about getting one The Good things and Bad ones So to Buy or Skip Feedback would be great  Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WTF?Shane Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Tankbuster1, we (or at the least, I) cannot truly answer that question for you. You're gonna have to make the decision on your own. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kithooton Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 (edited) Edited: Â Was Listening to Airsoftolgy podcast. Magpul are defo doing there own internal gearbox, and they are not putting Ares gearboxes in the ACR anymore! Possible due to they have to buy, or give a % to them. Â Magpul designers and engineers have looked at it and decided to make there own. Also Airsoftolgy say that this gearbox is already out, the Gen.2 massada gearbox and are in the ACRS and in shops now! (But you really wouldn't know the differents when looking at it) Maybe a performance difference? Edited February 5, 2011 by kithooton Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wampa Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Took my ACR out yesterday and it was workign ok then i tossed on a lipo halfway through the game and it started to rip! Â fHowever I had a lot of misfeeds. I am only using pmags midcaps which is really strange. I think if i did what you guys said about sprayign some silocone in it it shoudl work right.

kithooton Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 It could help. But my gun is weird too. Lipo 7.4 mostly any type of BB brand will feed. Lipo 11.v it must be Excel BB brand only to feed! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Â Wait so your saying I have a crappy ARES gearbox in mine but If I had waited I wouldn't because they are making their own and putting them into future masadas? Aint this a b****...

Philbucknall Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Oh well, thems the breaks I guess! The other way of looking at it is that ARES might not be good but at least they have made them before whereas with magpul we'd all be beta testing their design!!

WTF?Shane Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Do you guys know where I can buy the tiny metal clips that keeps the pin in the handguard in place? Â Check your local hardware store. I found them down at Home Depot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kithooton Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Wait so your saying I have a crappy ARES gearbox in mine but If I had waited I wouldn't because they are making their own and putting them into future masadas? Aint this a b****... Â I'm not saying the internal are rubbish. Well.... You could choose to change them anyways (Custom Gears). Is that Magput PTS are doing there own now. And also due they are completely making a Magpul M4 external and internal! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Skotia Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Saw this on M4 Carbine today, and I'm not sure if it's been discussed yet. This is slightly OT considering it's dealing with RS, but it's something that would be amazing to see come to the PTS model. Â Remington has a prototype 5-Side aluminum hand guard for the ACR, and this is hands down my favorite hand guard I've seen. Word is it'll never get produced, but here's to hoping an ACM model slips in for airsoft. http://www.flickr.com/photos/itstactical/5376390019/ Â http://www.flickr.com/photos/itstactical/5376990616/ Â http://www.flickr.com/photos/itstactical/5376390083/ Â Again, sorry if this has already been discussed. Â Â Those photos are of Mers (from AAC) holding the ACR (probably, in this case, chambered in their prized 300BLK round) in the recent SHOTshow just over a week ago. I would seriously doubt the speculation that the five-sided handguard would not be produced given their recent portrayal in SHOT. Â P.S. The five-sided handguard is still part of Remington's spec sheet. If Remington produces it, Magpul PTS will be likely to produce it as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Â Remington seems to be playing their cards pretty close to their chest, so I can only hope the "only for LE/MIL" comments are only to mean "only for LE/MIL...for now". If PTS could make this for around $150, I'd be first to buy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Noveske Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Â P.S. The five-sided handguard is still part of Remington's spec sheet. If Remington produces it, Magpul PTS will be likely to produce it as well. Â Â 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
