NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT (NFA) CONFIGURATION QUESTIONS (MACHINEGUNS, SHORT-BARRELED RIFLES):

Masada™: Will the Masada be made in a select-fire version?
Yes. The select-fire Masada™ features a proprietary auto-sear that is not compatible with the standard M16. The fire selector has a standard 90 degree throw to the semi-auto position identical to the M16. The fully-automatic position is accessed with a further 30 degrees of travel. This combination ensures a good combination of safety and the ability to access fully-automatic firepower when necessary.

Masada™: Can I buy a select-fire (full-auto) Masada™?
The select-fire Masada™ is available ONLY to qualified buyers. The select-fire Masada™ is classified as a “machine-gun” under the National Firearms Act (26 USC 5845 (b)). As such it is subject to NFA transfer and possession regulations (27 CFR 479).

Masada™: Is there a transferrable, select-fire (full-auto) Masada™ available for civilians?
No. The Masada™ is a completely new weapon platform and was not produced prior to May 19, 1986. The select-fire Masada™ is considered a “post-86 dealer sample” and is only available to military, law-enforcement and qualified dealers.

Masada™: Are short-barreled (< 16” barrel length) Masada™ rifles available for civilians?
Short-barreled versions of the Masada™ are available ONLY to qualified buyers. The short-barreled Masada™ is classified as a “short-barreled rifle” (18 USC 921). As such it is subject to NFA transfer and possession regulations (27 CFR 479).

Masada™: Can the Masada accept a 3-Round Burst Mechanism?
An optional three-round burst mechanism is tentatively planned for the Masada. This may or may not require the use of proprietary parts and will ONLY be made available to military, law enforcement and qualified dealers in accordance with NFA transfer and possession regulations (27 CFR 479).

Each night as M4arc goes to sleep, tucked snuggly in bed, he has visions of FDE Masada's dancing in his head, but he keeps hearings Santa's words ringing in his ears...

"Hey kid, You'll shoot your eye out!!!"
