A&K masada fix up.

[Hurley895]

I bought a stock A&k Masada off a friend. I found it to be a little underwhelming in response, grouping and range. I've got some parts and I need help figuring out where best to spend my money next.

So I set about upgrading it.

This is what I've done so far:
madbull V2 509mm 6.03 inner barrel.
guarder clear hop-up rubber.
(this should help with groupings)

I have ordered a lonex a-1 titian motor my thinking is this should help with slow response.

Also 110m spring. (a little better range without making it to high fps)

Now for the question: What would you do to this gun next? if you had $100 to spend.

I would have done compression checks on the piston/cylinder/nozzle/hopup before spending money. Fixing compression is the biggest factor for accuracy... even on a new gun.

You could try looking for the metal hop up and nozzle, it takes a special sling adaptor too ( I made my own). They also have a rail kit you can buy as we'll

1. Get a new nozzle, stock A&K nozzle has no o-ring and is prone to cracking. I suggest Wii-tech. It's metal, and the compression achieved from that is far superior to the stock nozzle.
2. Might as well get a new hop-up as well, go full metal I also recommend Wii-tech for this.
*I believe they sell a package that incorporates both these parts*
3. Test your piston head compression with the new nozzle.
4. Re-shim if you're dropping in a new motor.

Test and see.

Possibly upgrade the piston if it's stock, it's a cheaper plastic piston that will crack.

I also have a A&K Masada. I got it here on ASC with a new piston and tightbore first thing I would suggest is a piston head piston and the wiitech upgrade kit for $72 shipping included from ebay, it upgrades the nozzle feed mechanism and hop up to metal its a great deal for what your getting. You can also pick up a sling mount that goes on the top rail (basically like the magpul one just without the $25 price tag) from here

I also picked up rails and a grip from that site for cheap (note the shipping is pretty slow cause its free)

If you have any questions shoot me a msg I'm not the most knowledgeable but I have good gun docs on my team :P


Edit: also for quicker response lipos pick up some cheap hobby king ones and convert to deans that should improve the responses cause I don't notice that much of a lag on mine

Ok ordered:
the wii tech kit
Wii tech piston
piston head

Well lets see if it makes a difference.

Just be careful with the Lonex. Lonex A1 motors are recommended to use with M130 springs and higher. Using a lighter spring may cause a pre-engagement to the piston and destroy it.

I'm using a M120 but have short stroked a lightened piston that gives me a 400fps set-up with 16:1 ratio gears. Very quick trigger respond time.

[lurkingknight]

where do you get 130 or higher? you are doing it wrong.

lonex A1s work with any spring that gets you roughly 400 fps. So that's a 110 spring from most manufacturers.

[bruce]

It's printed right on the box of the Lonex motor. Like I said, you just need to be careful. I did not say don't use it. I'm running a 400fps set-up.

Shame wish you browsed the classifieds more cuz there was a guy who was selling a Wii Tech kit for an A&K Masada for 35$

A slightly related question... Is the air nozzle of A&K Masada and A&K M60 interchangable?
