UK Masada has Arrived!
The Official UK version of the Masada is here!
Good news guys, the Official UK model of the fantastic Magpul PTS Masada ACR is here on UK soil and will be shown off to the public at the Airsoft Arms Fair @ The Grange in the West Midlands on 16th October 2010.
UK Spec Masada ACRThose people who have pre-ordered their Magpul PTS Masada ACR will be getting theirs in the next few days no doubt! We had a sneak peek and saw some differences between the ‘Official’ UK release model and those supplied via ‘Grey’ imports from Asia.
One of the easiest differences to notice between the 2 models is in the foregrip section. When the foregrip is removed you will notice that the UK model has an extra section on the foregrip retaining Block. This adds extra strength to that section of the grip and hopefully you shouldn’t get any failures or splits on the MOE front end.
Dismantling the mechbox other differences should be noted. The gears appear to be machined differently with, we think, a better quality of metal (although with our limited facilities we couldn’t confirm that). Paint and finish on the gearbox shell was definitely different between the 2 versions and the UK version is fitted with a linear spring (which was longer). We chrono’d the UK version to 307fps and the Asia version to 333fps both with a 8.4 1500mah batteries. You should note that running Lipo’s in these AEG’s will invalidate any warranty you may have!
The other differences we noted was with the paint finish on the barrel. The UK spec Masada having a more matt finish. The UK version also came with a FULL UK warranty and instruction CD and English info sheet (as well as a nice polymer bullet shaped pin extractor tool).The importance in all of this is that you can be confident that your AEG has met all the stringent RoHS compliances for paint content, wiring and electrical safety etc.
Summary of UK Spec Magpul Masada PTS
- Extra Pin retainer section on foregrip
- UK CQB site friendly spring FPS
- Wiring and Paint work to UK standard
- Full UK instructional sheet & CD
So now you will be able to tell if your retailer has given you a ‘Grey’ Import!
So checkout your local Official UK Magpul PTS Airsoft dealer as the Masada ACR is available now in Black, Tan or Foliage Green (but most likely sold out on pre-order!)
My thanks to Edgar Brothers for supplying early examples, Scuffer for the technical know-how and AirSmith skills AND Nutz from SWAT for test firing venue

Magpul Masada PTS Production Update
MagPul PTS Masada Production Model Update- by Scuffer.
The Sexy MagPul PTS Masada ACR in full glory
The Magpul PTS Masada ACR must be the most eagerly anticipated AEG release of 2010 if you haven't already checked out the brilliant pre-production review by Scuffer of this AEG then check it out here, now.Pre-Production Update by Scuffer:
Ok chaps to add some more fuel for the fire of the endless speculation on here and other forums, here are a few more pictures! I’ve been sitting on these for a while now – they show a final production model of the Masada (00003).
click to enlarge for more detail
You’ll notice a few differences in it – firstly the gearbox shell and markings, the shell being black with ‘PTS’ markings along with other parts looking far more shiny and refined. Secondly with these better pictures you’ll be able to see some of the very nice detail, markings and finish of the externals up close and personal. Also I’ve included a few pictures of the standard foregrip.
Just to confirm a few things for people – this is the standard off the shelf set-up – 14’ barrel, fixed stock, standard foregrip; also a MBUIS and P-Mag will be included. For the UK forum members, you guys will have to wait an extra week or two after the rest of the world due to the UK spec Masada being made in a difference batch to the rest of the world (RoHS compliant, 330FPS and all legit UK ones will have a mark or hologram from the importer).
Note the PTS Logo on Pistol Grip (click to enlarge)
A few things that jumped out at me from this again was how solid and refined the finished thing felt, the operation was the same – still smooth and snappy and overall feeling very balanced. You’ve all heard me waffling on about the Masada’s pro’s in game and the quality of the parts and quick take down features, and this finished model confirms my thoughts on it really!
Review By Scuffer. *Please note: I am not affiliated to MagPul Inds/PTS, or any importer/shop/site – I do not own this AEG I have simply been given access to it and asked if I would like to carry out a review, I am not making any profit or personal gain from doing this, I’m simply trying to play with some nice kit and bring some extra information to other airsofters. If you wish to replicate any part of this review or use the pictures from it please credit them with belonging to me

MagPul PTS 'Masada' ACR Review
The Sexy MagPul PTS Masada ACR in full glory
SWAT Urban got to take an exclusive early look of the brilliantly sexy Magpul PTS Masada ACR.
Reviewed by SWAT regular ‘Scuffer’ here is an exclusive 1st look at the new Magpul PTS Masada ACR airsoft gun. This is a pre-production model so there may be some small (very small) changes in the final production model, but nothing that will change the look or operation of it when compared to this one.
Overview
Parts: 14.5” Barrel/RIS Hand-guard/Fixed stock/Bird cage flash-hider/Flip-up front sights/MBUS rear sight.
Ok, firstly what can I say – Whoa! This is simply a lovely bit of kit.
As you would expect from a company such as MagPul it is very nicely designed and does not feel over or under-engineered in anyway. In fact if you take anything from this let it be simply that this finally feels like a solid all round airsoft platform. There are no gaps in the design or production process, with the entire thing feeling ‘fit for purpose’ which in my opinion places it either at the top or very near the top of the AEG pecking order as far too often design/production/materials used let airsoft guns down and stop us using them in their full capacity.
When initially holding it this AEG feels light (compared to some full metal AEGs) but solid, with no flex or creeks anywhere. My first though is that I would happily be able to carry it round all day as it’s not restrictively heavy but feels rugged and fit for task in terms throwing round an urban environment and using at a number of engagement ranges. Using a 1200mAh 7.4V Lipo and 0.2g BBs it chrono’d at 338-340FPS over around 10 shots, with a fast rate of fire and with a very snappy trigger response.
The front site pops up via pressing the pin to its rear, while the MBUS open up via depressing its front section. The controls all feel solid and everything clicks firmly in and out of place.
The finish on the metal upper and RIS is a flawless matt black while the plastic lower and stock feel and look far superior to any other body kit I’ve ever felt during airsoft, feeling more like a textured version of the RS G36 receiver. Once held on their own it’s striking how light the stock/lower are when compared to their perceived strength while putting pressure on them.
The markings on both the upper and lower receivers are neat and the ambidextrous controls click firmly in and out of place with no rattle or unnecessary movement. The charging handle slides back and locks into place, being released by the ambi-bolt catch at the front of the trigger guard and slamming forward with a satisfying metal on metal ‘thawk!’ that I’m sure will keep many people entertained in the safe-zones for years to come. Locking it back also exposes the hop up chamber and dial, making setting the hop easy. The dial rotated smoothly and did not seem as if it would unwind of its own accord – but I’ll save my comments regarding the hop up for once I’ve had some on range time with it. There are a number of sling points spread around the body of the gun. I used MagPul PTS Midcap magazines and they fitted firmly into the magwell with no movement and fed perfectly
This is the aftermarket fixed stock variation. Build quality is the same as the lower receiver and the two parts fit together perfectly with no movement. To change the stock configuration on this weapon you first pop out the upper receiver pin and lift the upper forwards, then pop the second lower pin and the stock will slide out – reverse the process to fit a new stock. Again on the fixed stock there are a number of various sling points. There are some conflicting reports that the standard production model will be supplied with a possible folding/retractable stock.
This system uses a quick detachable barrel system, and for the airsoft side the same is true and life is made easier for us by the outer barrel assembly holding both the inner barrel and half of the hop up chamber (hop rubber). While the dial, feed tube and other half of the hop chamber is fixed inside the receiver. The quick detach mechanism is very simple to use, open the front up, press in a little button and turn the handle (slight knack to it!) the barrel will then come away. Despite being removable once in place there is absolutely no movement or dreaded barrel-wobble on this gun. The front RIS kit fits on via 2 pins, as with most of the body pins on this AEG that are captive types meaning that they can be pushed out and retained within the body while opening it up. The RIS itself is well made, with no sharp edges or flaws. On the issue of battery storage, I used a 1200mAh stick LiPo to test and this battery fitted easily into the RIS; it may be possible to get larger LiPos in there too. I was not able to test but it may be possible to get small NiMh battery packs in there as well if you are creative with the writing placement. I’d also assume that there will be far more room for batteries in the standard non-RIS hand-guard.
This AEG has a very handy quick change spring feature. To use this, you remove the stock and lift the upper, then insert an Allen key into the rear of the gear box, turn and the spring guide and spring will slide out. This one came with a plastic spring guide and a linear spring.
To open the Masada/ACR up full, simply pop the top rear pin and it will split and swing on the front pin, after that remove the front pin and lower rear pin to gain full access. Once that’s done there are 2 Allen key bolts to remove from inside the magwell and 2 from the motor grip and the gearbox will slide out.
Firstly this uses a micro switch trigger unit, along with this the motor is caged (wiring soldered/Allen key adjustment at the base) and the wiring (while relatively thin) runs around the outside of the box and clips neatly into little protectors that guide and save it from getting pinched. The fire selector is operated by large plastic external gears; this is a very simple mechanism but does the job beautifully and feels smooth in operation. The air nozzle is much longer that a standard version 2 M4 type. MagPul have used bushings for the 2 top gears while using a bearing set for the first gear.
To rebuild place the fire selectors onto semi and reinsert the gearbox, then replace the various screws in the magwell and pistol grip, followed by the body pins.

Yosser says- this sure looks a great AEG (looks like I’m saving the pennies for one now!). This looks the way to go in Airsofting for a multifunctional and customizable platform.
