3am in senny tracer rounds everywhere mad:D.
ive got systema helical gears, systema magnum motor, G&P piston, trigger master active brake mosfet and ive ordered one of those hop up units. singleshot is super and she does respectable 25bbs/sec. way too much money spent on this gun.:eek:

Sorry I can't be more help at the moment.

No worries, Rooky. Just sending those links my way is more than enough help. The author of the thread on AirsoftForum.com states that the nozzle is excellent but the chamber is rubbish. You have an opinion on it either way?

I personally thought the chamber was a very nice quality piece.
It seems very well machined. The air nozzle matches it perfectly.
I noticed a huge hike in fps with the 2. So much so I had to change the spring again to bring the power back to within the legal requirements.:)

Got the lonex mags for the masada and have also ordered the AFGv2 and the Madada Rail kit for it.
Ordered it express so will have it about Wed/Thurs at the very latest..
Only problem is that I need to spray it black as Magpul the tossers haven't released the black one yet..:mad:

Will post up a review of the lonex flash mags but look promising so far...
I had a quick test with my kit running a 11.1v lipo (masada upgraded by QAS for high speed gears etc) and mag was able to keep up.
Will try out over a longer period of time at LAC next week.

i agree Rooky i ordered the A&K version for my A&K masada and before it was fitted it was firing at 280fps after it was fitted it rose to 315fps which was a nice jump,i havent had a chance to test the range yet but i am expecting a good improvement.

Blue rubber is standard and the standard barrel is a tightbore :P

dnt know bout your standard barrel but mine was sh*te couldnt get a rubber to work well wit it. madbull barrels are one of the best out there in my opinion and madbull hop up rubbers aswell.

Just got my ACR hanguard and it fits like a dream...just need to spray it black whenever I get a chance.
Also ordered the AFG2 for it..and here's the problem...no way will it fit onto the handguard without being dremelled.
I've taken it apart (3 allen screws holding it together) and trying to replace them while on the rail but no joy.
Very doubtfull it's a problem with the rail..most likely the AFGv2..it's just out and it's got intermittent notches along the inside of it...thus not allowing it to sit evenly on the rails.

The AFG2 is not designed to be a universal foregrip, the whole point of it was to make it fit on smaller rails, M4 rails are one of the biggest where as I think the G36 has smaller rails along with the SIG 552, the AFG2 is made with those in mind, not the M4 or the ACR, the AFG1 is made for bigger rails.

Nope..it's supposed to be compatible with a wider range of rails....except for their own...lousy bastards

It's slimmer and shorter but supposed to fit onto 20mm rails...

ah well...time to go filing

drakemma · 17-05-2011 03:35AM

I have the MOE rails on my Masada and the AFG2 fits just fine. It's a bit snug, but fine.

Did anybody have any problems with body pins falling out during a skirmish? Happened to me a few times so from now on I'm taping everything up

It shouldn't happen as there are spring clips attached to the pins to stop them coming completely out of the Masada.
Check that your clips haven't come off.:)

yeah I have that as well ..specifically the one that gives you access to the spring...for now I've black tape around it to keep it in..

The clips must have come off & the pins went for a hop. Other pins in now along with new gears,piston & a swanky MOSFET. Now with added tactical tape. Haven't skirmished it yet but can't wait roll on tue in redbarn

Was lucky I had cable ties last time out but thought it was weird because I'd never even touched the pins that fell out. Gaffer tape sorts out all problems though

can,t beat gaffer tape .

Rooky1 · 08-07-2011 11:19AM

Thanks for that

Rooky1 · 08-07-2011 10:39PM

No bother at all.
They are cheap.
WGCshop are a very reliable site to order from and they won't rip you off on postage either.:)

If you are only ordering pins and clips there probably won't be any customs charges either.
