They have taken a picture of what appears to be a beta projects (you can see there label) "drop in kit" for the existing Magpul PTS.

I'm curious as to what magazines it will use.

Other than the picture there is no other information, let the wild speculation begin!

EDIT: Added photobucket link upload, incase the picture is removed or those people not on facebook or with slow internet.

WA compatible i believe, further reinforced by the square and flat looking nozzle

[hitmanNo2]

Yep, it's for the WA platform. So you have a wide selection of mags to choose from.

you sure about this? that trigger box and the bolt kinda reminds me of WE OB SCAR..

I highly doubt it'll be WE given that most of the Hong Kong brands tend towards WA's system for the GBB (G&P, Beta's own magazines, etc.). Would defeat the purpose of their own designs if they went with WE

Also, see that mp7 magazine on the table? It looks like that WIP Angry Gun KSC MP7 mag

That would mean this will have to be made by RA-tech using replacement parts for WE...lol.

Considering the original AEG is above $400...this is definitely not going to be a low budget WE internal type of thing.

I thought it was announced that it would be WA-compatible?

It is unquestionably for the WA system guys. Check out the videos at Shot Show this year where is was confirmed, again to be for WA.

[aznriptide859]

Me gusta.

[Chevieblazer]

Nozzle looks WA. All previous mentionings stated WA. Don't see why it would be WE, especially since Magpul has mostly ignored WE so far...

This is good news. I guess if Ehobby has a sample, the release can't be too far off

[kagami]

can someone tell beta to fix their screwed to s**t pmags while theyre at it as well...

That's...not expensive at all!

But that hammer looks it's not made of good quality metal...

That's to milk ACR GBB users for upgrade kit moneys

If the trigger fails I'm pretty sure RATECH will develop a steel kit for it; given that there's probably a huge demand for the GBB ACR.


EDIT: Okay wtf actually the kit is DAMN expensive >__> aznriptide859 do you have like a fort full of gold that we don't know about? At USD$235 for the kit alone is already the same price as most G&P AEGs....and then you have to take into account of the ACR AEG itself O_o

And the mags if you ain't got them... Damnit, just sell the gun! I really want one, but I refuse to pay money for an AEG. It is against all my beliefs.

Ah yes, and the pricy mags for the WA system Honestly I'm a bit sceptical as to whether this is gonna be released as a full GBB product given that it's outsourced to Beta Project already and is not a Magpul PTS labelled product.

[hitmanhigger]

Sorry I meant the kit alone is OK priced for ACR owners...maybe not so much for non-ACR owners like myself.
