magpul masada
 

I was checking out the magpul masada the other day and wondered if any manufacturers are making or have announced plans to make a replica of the magpul masada?

Magpul will eventually turn one out.

Considering how behind they are just putting out the UBR (real one, nevermind the PTS version) it might be a long while before we see a Masada.

Hopefully it's not too long of a wait. That gun is pure sex:D

its what the SCAR should be, less M4A1 and more G36 lol

To me it looks like a SCAR with a G36 style trigger group instead of an M4 Style trigger group, and a ribbed sleeve over the front rails. Even the stock (wich everyone hates on the SCAR) is almost identical. I can't believe so many people love this thing but hate the SCAR. Don't get me wrong, I like it but no more or less than the SCAR.

See now I like the SCAR type stock with the adjustable cheek rest. I also like the fit of the SCAR/M4 trigger and selector switch over the G36 style. It's more natural to go from S to fire. Those Belgians know guns and beer. I can't say though if it makes up for the Singing Nun.

Having seen a real Magpul masada, I have several problems with it. First the fire select switch is so low and close to the grip that your hand actually rests right on top of it. Very unconfortable and it could be accidentally switched. Also, the charging handle is right below of the top rails so if you have an optic, it could get in the way when cocking it. same if firing left handed with the case deflector in the way also. This could be fixed by having the charging handle slightly angled down and the fire selector higher. These problems with the real Masada could be the same with the Airsoft version too. These problems arn't too bad though. At least not for airsoft. About the stock, it's actually very sturdy and has no flex unlike the M4 stock. When you pull the Masada stock all the way out, (the 8th position) the cheek rest is pretty far forward that you have to have the worst firing posture to rest your cheek otherwise you just rest on the back stock. Semi unconfortable. My $0.02 LOL the stock on the SCAR looks like a foot as shown here (not my pics):

I have personaly handled the MASADA at the Shot Show 07 and loved it. The charging handel angle has of now already been changed which should make it perfect now. I AM(No mater what!LOL) going to get the real MASADA and the PTS (Airsoft)version(I'm in the US).

Anyone see the FutureWeapons on Discovery about 2weeks or so ago. I have it recorded on DVR. MMMM had all the versions of the MASADA....bliss...Oh yea, anyway. Magpul said mid 08 release for the real version, airsoft version has not tecnicaly ben confirmed... but I have unofficial word of mouth conformation from MAGPUL that it will be out around the time of the RS MASADA release.
The main one on FutureWeapons was the black 5.56 NATO 11.5 inch version with an AAC M4-2000, EOTech 553 and 4X FTS, and a Tangodown vertgrip, I cant wait.

I was there too! we might have had seen each other :D I sure hope they did changed the angle of the charging handle. Do you know if they changed the selector switch too? that was a bit low for me. You should really upload the DVR on Youtube, I had my VCR set to record but I set it to AM instead of PM so I never go to watch it.

can u post the bit that was on future weapons on you tube HK-GUY, i would like to see it .

*sigh* id rather have them release the airsoft UBR stock.

This is the one I've seen:YouTube - Milspecmonkey.com Shotshow 2007 Magpul Industries

+1 that. But even the realsteel version is still in "pre-production."

Given that the UBR replaces the whole stock tube, the PTS/airsoft version would have to be a different design and I'm left wondering if Magpul will bother. I'm really not sure how committed they are to the PTS line.

Hmm I wish systema would make a Masada PTW
