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. |

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? |

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. |

Thank you DrDrake! Those pics made a good day even better! Oh man, those rifles are so frigging pretty!
|
|
|
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 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" |

Thanks Doc! Eagerly awaiting more info and the coolness of the guns themselves!
|
|
|
I'm thinking there's a moose or two just waiting to be on the receiving end of a Massoud cradled in my hands.
Mmmm. Moose meat. Mmmm. Massoud. |

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.

Does the stock on the ACR adjust high enough to provide a good cheekweld on the red dot mounted on top of the acog?
|
|
|
I really wish it had a B2 sized backstrap on both the ACR and Massoud.
|
|
|
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? |
||||
|
I hope MP goes back to the forward charging handles for the 7.62, to keep parts and consistency w/the 5.56 rifle.
My $0.02 0351 |
|
|
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 |

|
Freaking Awesome.
|
|
|
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. |

I found this within an hour of being posted and now I bring you news, pics, and video of a hands on report of the Massoud. All bow down in the presence of my search fu. Props to the guys at Magpul and Sniper's Hide. Sniper's Hide Massoud Hands On Video Sniper's Hide Massoud Thread |

After seeing this thing sit on the sandbags I am starting to realize why they moved the location of the charging handle.
Man that thing is sexy!!! |
