Scotty2Hotty Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 So gun lovers, what's your take on it? Seems AK like in one sence as far as the charging handle, but AR15 like in other ways like selector switch, mag release and over all trigger. Seems like a majority of it is polymer, which should be a strong weapon all around. Here's a few pics: http://www.ironridgeguns.com/gall/oldnew.jpg http://www.magpul.com/images/gallery/wallpapers/masada/masada.jpg http://www.defensereview.com/stories/magpul/SHOT%20Show%202007%20-%20Magpul%20Industries%20Masada%205.56mm%20Rifle-Carbine_3.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drewhop Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 All i know is that Scott knows enough about guns (and owns enough) im with him when the zombies attack. What kind of weight do these guns have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRocket1647545505 Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Price isn't toooo bad on them either. $1,500 when they drop. I want one, but I'm gonna give them some time once they hit the floor to see if they've got any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty2Hotty Posted January 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Basic AR weight to them. Loaded w/ 30 rounds you're probably sitting around 8lbs or so, with an optic sight and a tac light, more around 11ish I'd say. Seen a few Guns & Ammo tests on it, so far they've shot the 5.56mm short version and the DMR style (sniper style) rifle. They've put a few thousand through them, and as they said no hiccups yet on it. No jamming, no double feeds, and an all around good shooting rifle. I'd be interested once I get my hands on it and take a look. Best part, the 5.56mm version takes any standard M16 mag, not to mention 7.62X39mm, 7.62X51mm NATO, and even 6.8 SPC will be availible in them. They maybe interchangable from what I read. I am liking so far :nod: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty2Hotty Posted January 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 7.62 > 223 By far, but it would be cool to see an accurate shooter in a 7.62X39mm cartridge. There's plenty of stock in the caliber, not to mention it packs a nice energetic punch to it. I like the fact they're talking about being able to convert the weapon from (5.56mm) .223 to (7.62) .308 quickly with only a few pieces. Not to mention the 6.8 SPC which would be like the .40 S&W to the pistol world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty2Hotty Posted January 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 I thought .308 wasn't confirmed yet? So far I heard it's not, but like anything, it'll come. That's like chambering handguns in .45ACP, it's bound to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodRed Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 That looks pretty nice. I have toyed with the idea of picking up an AR15. But I may have to wait and see how the pricing is on this and how it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isnt there a company that makes an AR15 that fires 7.62 rounds? There's a few DPMS comes to mind, and another company got the SR25 contract for the US ARMY/ US Military. SR25 = Semi-Auto replacement for the M21, but I'd rather have the M24 aka M14 with a nice leuopold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
