since the masada operates on a gas piston system, will magpul make a gas piston system for the AR?

That would be nice.

One of the reasons the Masada came to life was that the AR platform was not built for a piston op system.  The Masada is a rifle built around its operating system, not the other way around.  As for now we have no plans to incorperate the Masada piston to the AR platform.

People... leave MAGPUL alone and let them build the MASADA!!!

Seriously, if you want a piston conversion, try the Shrike conversion kit or contact LWRC... I think they make a conversion. POF makes piston uppers as does Bushmaster (which I think are POF or part POF). I had the chance to fire both the H&K (in .mil capacity) and the LWRC (fellow contractor) and to be honest, for the money... get a LWRC upper. I might do another build soon with a LWRC piston upper with a Noveske Infidel barrel.
Anyway, the point is, MAGPUL doesn't NEED to do a piston conversion because there are already several makers out there doing them now and MAGPUL would better serve their time building my MASADA!
