Yay, I haven't seen these yet! The .308 in back looks fantastic, I can't wait to see one with a PRS stock (similar to Shot08 images) but all black. How many of the development ACR/Masada platforms do you guys have? I'm just curious if they're T&E, or still in incremental product improvment mode. |
Drake. You know you're my hero, right? 
|
Now THAT'S some hot, delicious, salivatin' goodness right there -- I TELL YOU right now!

DrDrake Is that like a FAL or will it be left or right eject like a Beretta Carbine? Or does this fall under the "As for now we are not releasing any information........." policy?
|
Sorry guys, no additional info on the Massoud for now. I don't mean to tease y'all, just want you to know wer're still hard at work here. |

Thanks for the pics. We'll take what we can get. |
So exactly how much do you pay the boss to go out and play with those cool toys? I see a revenue-producing opportunity for you. $5 to cap off a couple rounds? Could help out with gas money. Just sayin' |

I am still awaiting the ACR I am not even sure if I could bring myself to EVEN dream about the possibility of ever owning the Massound! It looks great. Thanks for posting. |

If this is hard at work can I have a part time job.

Drake- I noticed the mag in the cased ACR/Massoud pic has some Sharpie modifications to show rounds remaining. Have thought about this too but I'm just too lazy.  Any plans on changing the molds to do this?
|
Rounds reloaded, waiting on an ACR as of May 08: 2,120. 1Qtr 09? The 1050 is gonna be busier yet and that rifle better be ready for it!
Good idea...that may or may not be in the works. [insert Mapul cut-n-paste verbiage]

I tried it to see if it helped guage a round count. Not sure if it's the way my brain works or not but it did not help. I know approx. how may rounds are in there no sweat w/o the markings. That said...... As for now we are not releasing any information on products that may or may not be in the works. We're always looking for new ways to improve on existing products and explore the boundaries of new ideas. Thanks. |

I know there will be more Q's to come. We're not going into the Massoud details at this time. We want you guys to know that things are moving fantasticlly here.

I love those photos of the Massoud and greatly, greatly look forward to informed discussions the new charging handle. By any chance can you tell me the bbl length on the pics of the ACR with the stock folded on this page? There's so much we only have to speculate on due to a lack of information on bbl lengths. Thanks for more pics! |
Blk ACR on top of page is 10.5 FDE ACR in case and with can 16" FDE Massoud in case and with pallets 16" |

| One of the cool things about the Massoud is that the rings weigh ~2 oz. rather than five times that much for an SPR-E. |

The grip on the ACR and the Massoud are both similar to the B2 strap. |

Well, not really. The .5 inch lift on the cheek piece is good to go on high mounted optics. My thought is that I want the good cheek weld when looking through the ACOG glass and have my heads up on the red dot. JMO. |

  I want that more than a Masada! Where'd you get it? BTW, what mags does the Massoud take? |
If they made a change it was for a good reason, and the distance between the bolt carrier and the forward charging handle position MAY be different on the ACR and the 7.62? I don't know if there will be a lot of parts commonality between the two. |
More probably due to the optics. I still hope they go back to the forward charging handle. 0351 |
Remember that parts compatability is not always the best path to take when building a rifle. Others have tried and has resulted in constant redesign during the prototype process. |
