Magpul Masada

[jmart]

Is the Masada a mockup? Is it a functioning prototype? From your conversations with them, have they done any live fire testing? Any torture testing?

[Akoni]

They are not to far along with testing yet; one rifle may have had 1000 rds through it. When the system is proven, sounds like they're planning on a mil and le release initially. It appears to be a well thought out rifle. FCG and barrels (with Masada specific parts) are AR parts. The lowers were shown with an AR magwell and an AK magwell which was an interesting option. They may be onto something here.

Yes, it has been live fired by them.

Correct on the charging handle. User determined as to which side it is on, and it takes about 10 seconds to switch from one side to the other.

Dude... very nice review and pics....
I'm warming up to this gun more and more....

[yakrat101]

Any plans for a dust cover on the ejection port or is it such a tight fit that it might not need one?

[Zak Smith]

Can't you see the action through the two charging handle slots anyway???

Incredible!

Overall Weight please?

[yakrat101]

I tend to overlook the obvious.

Thanks Hawkeye.

I live in Magpul's neck of the woods. Guess I should "take one for the team" and offer to test it for them....

Since I was a 03 in the Marines I can let them know if it's at least Marine resistant, maybe even Marine proof.
