MILITATED

Take a Number and get in the queue ! 😂😂😂

I never bat and eye lid when I spend on airsoft, no matter the cost, but anything else...
 
I just spent 1.7k on PC components and I am just thinking about how much airsoft stuff I could have bought 😥
 
All the shiny stuff 😭

After about a month, it is complete.  It is the build I am most proud of and I believe the Masada/ACR platform to be my absolute favourite out of the many I have owned.
I came up with the build (after a few iterations) on PimpMyGun (I am sure a lot of you are familiar) and I believe I made it pretty close!
 
Rifle is the PTS Masada GBBR. As usual, I went way over budget but I am very happy!
 
Components:
Hephaestus recoil kit
Elcan SpectreDR 1-4x w/ mini red dot (Repro)
Magpul PTS ranger plates
Magpul PTS MOE RVG
Magpul PTS aluminium Masada rail system
Surefire x300 flashlight (Repro)
WE MSK flash hider
 
As I posted earlier, I got the outer and inner barrels shortened by LCS Engineering Outpost as I prefer shorter guns and I only wanted the flash hider to be visible out of the rail system. I did not want the gas block back either, as I thought it was rather unsightly and detracted from the overall aethestic.
 
Anyway, on to the pictures! Also a very short firing video.
These are just basic shots, I am sure I will get some "glam shots" a bit later. Yes, I decorated the bolt.
 
Short firing demonstration
 

I bought 4x KWA GBB Pmags 
 
More money gone that I don't have

Sent my PTS Masada GBB outer and inner barrel to LCS Engineering outpost a few weeks back to get shortened and rethreaded, and it is now back with me! He did an absolutely amazing job. Super clean work. Time to fit it back in the gun and basically complete the build 😉
 
I believe the outer barrel was 14.5" before being cut down, for reference. Now it is basically half that.
 
Edit: Put pictures in the gun picture thread of the build
 

That acr is fucking beautiful..

Thankfully they are ridiculously tight on the mag 😅 Have to knock them a few times with something heavy to get them back off

The 10 Magpul PTS ranger plates and PTS MOE RVG have arrived! Well, technically I missed the delivery yesterday by 7 minutes (😐) and collected them today.
 
PTS Masada/ACR build is now 90% done. Just waiting for my shortened outer barrel to be returned to me! 😀

 
Long overdue but I also bought a chronograph. Lastly, some Guarder black power up gas (preparing for winter already!), 3300 Nuprol RZR .28 BBs and a PTS EPM GBB magazine.

Bits for upcoming PTS Masada build:
- Elcan SpectreDR 1-4x
- Mini red dot mount for the SpectreDR
- Mini red dot for the mount for the SpectreDR (see the theme?)
- 180mm x 30mm 14mm Ccw/Cw suppressor
- Magpul PTS MOE RVG
- Magpul PTS ranger plates (box of 10)
- Hephaestus recoil kit for PTS Masada
 
Still waiting for the PTS aluminium rail to arrive, should be here tomorrow. Probably a month for the rest of the stuff.
 
and that concludes my spending for a while. Well, until I see something I want, I suppose. I have an addiction. Help.
 

So, that makes number... 8? 😅
 

Well, the kit arrived today and took about 3 minutes to install, no issues at all.
It definitely ups the recoil and RoF, as expected! So far, I am very happy with it, it'll definitely be staying installed. The recoil now reminds me of my old GHK G5 with RATech steel bolt
 
I will probably do some testing later to see how it impacts the gas efficiency, how much weight has been added to the bolt, etc
 
Now, if you'll excuse me, I am going to go back to shooting it 😅

First part is here 😀

I bought a WE MSK GBBR but then also bought a PTS/KWA Masada GBBR as the WE isn't exactly a performer. Also bought a CQB barrel for the WE. But yeah, the PTS is of much higher quality.
 
Waiting for a PTS aluminium rail to arrive and a Hephaestus recoil kit for the PTS.
 
First pic is of the PTS on the wall of ProAirsoftSupplies, just before buying it.

Took the plunge and bought an ARP9 with a drum mag! Super excited!
Pictures will follow when it all arrives 

I am sure most of us are familiar with this situation
