I recently picked up a new Magpul Masada PTS, out of the box accuracy was moderate, fps was consistently good but BBs hooked left and some right, put a Maddbull AK length Barrel (stock barrel a little short for a full length Cyl loss of some fps ) with Guarder hop rubber, now accuracy is good, not a tack driver but good, I found the hop adjustment rod has not enough adjustment to get full hop on ..025 BBs (this was with stock rubber and new one) I cut a small piece of the stock rubber laid it on top of the new hop rubber with a very thin layer of liquid tape (as to not effect the hop but keep it in place while assembling) it now will adjust a .025 BB but almost at its full adjustment, I would not be able to run say .028s! it also has barrel wobble, not a lot but the quick detachable barrel system is not rock solid when you twist the bbl in, I may use some Teflon tape to take up some thread tolerance but it doesn't seem to be effecting accuracy ..yet?.

I have used the gun in three games and dumped approx 4000rds with no inturnal issues, trigger issues, the gear box sounds fine, motor whines a bit even after adjustment, it shoots 390fps and I use a 9.6 Ak battery.

I feel the gun has some great features and built with good materials, its balance and feel are great, I am a little disappointed in the out of box usability though, for the price they are they should be ready to go, especially when you look at some other manufactures that sell guns for $150-$200 less and your accuracy and dependability are similar??

At this point though I like it very much, had to spend to much time tuning and extra money to get it there but oh well I have confidence in it now so we will see! next part to replace will be the motor as suggested by Kampfer.
