Magpul ACM Replicas

[Mr Random 42]

I've been looking into Magpul PTS parts lately, and I recently discovered Magpul "clone" parts which are much cheaper overall than the actual thing. Do they have similar quality standards as Magpul, or are they just a cheap rip off of original Magpul parts? Thanks

Some of them are decent, Some of them don't fit things as well as they should.

Look up "DiscountAirsoft" on these forums. All the stuff he sales are Magpul Clones. Just look in the Airsoft Items FOR SALE Section, he always has something up on the first page. He has a ton of stuff, I'm sure you could go over and take a look at it. Just bring your gun with you to test fit any parts.

there ok.. with some sanding and such to remove the cast marks, and other small imperfections from the poor'er Quality control of acm,

[XavierMace]

You are far better off going with the MOE stuff than the ACM knock offs.

[jdmsquadleader]

considering the price difference and that ur most likely going to use it on an airsoft gun id go with the acm magpul unless ur not on a budget or are a picky person

I sell the stuff and so you would think I'd be a bit biased, but you tell me afterwards if you still think so. The problem with ACM products is that illegal airsoft factories are like CIRCLE K's here except ten times worse. You can't throw a rock in any direction without hitting two in China. The problem isn't all ACM products, just some. The ones you will have the worst issues with will be stocks and red dots. These can look extremely nice in appearance, but then extremely poor in the fit or performance side. The worst ACM Magpul stock to gamble on right now is the CTR. The fit is different for every brand of gun that uses a different buffer tube. They work and fit the best on larger diameter tubes right now, but don't even think about it if it's an AEG. If you don't mind the wobble, then it's no big deal and you will feel like you got a smokin deal on a great looking replica. When it comes to UBR and ACS, swallow your pride and give them a try because they are exact replicas that are being sold as the real thing for real steel firearms all day long. If you buy a new gun that already has the custom MAGPUL package, I would bet my left nut that these are ACM. Most of the stuff I sell comes in the same, identical packaging that the real steel versions are being sold in. The seller benefits from that more than anyone else. Airsoft and real steel enthusiasts need to stop automatically dismissing replicas as low quality accessories that don't have the same quality as the real thing. I read how taboo it is to replace parts from real steel firearms for less costly, airsoft parts. I am all for that when it comes to internal parts and anything involving the inner mechanics of the gun that directly effect the performance of the gun, but why be so hard on the external accessories without doing any testing first? Why aren't there any reviews telling people what the good acm external upgrades fit and work well on both airsoft and real steel applications? I deal with these ACM resellers and the numbers in which they are putting out these replica products have big companies written all over it. Learn all this for yourself before taking someone's word on it. I want to start seeing people back up their comments before they just shoot something down without knowing for certain what they claim to be true. Sorry, to go on, but I can definitely shed some light on the subject if you would ever like to test fit something I have in stock or just have a question in general about anything. I work from home and am always up for test fitting or just letting people look at the stuff. You don't have to buy anything. If you would like to swing by to see what anything looks like, let me know.

For pete's sake, you have an enter key on your keyboard.  Use it.

In regards to this statement:

but why be so hard on the external accessories without doing any testing first? Why aren't there any reviews telling people what the good acm external upgrades fit and work well on both airsoft and real steel applications?

The same applies to you.  Why be so generous on the ACM external accessories without doing any testing/comparison first.  Be careful what you ask for.  All of the parts I got from you are unusable on quality parts.  If you want me to compare them to the real ones though, I'd be happy to.  I don't think you'll like the results thought.  I can tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt, I would not let ACM Magpul parts get within 20 feet of my AR-15.  Just like you argue people against ACM don't have enough experience with all ACM parts, you clearly don't have enough experience with the real stuff to make valid comparison's.

I understand you are trying to run a business and more power to you.  But trying to claim any of the parts you sell are just as good as the real ones is laughable.

I've never even met your dumb ass. Seriously, if you have a point to make, make it, but if you just read the posts and find any point to bitch about, I don't care what you whine about. You actually give me a good laugh whenever you do speak up. Keep it up. If all you care about is how long my sentences are, you need to find better ways to spend your time. Who made you a moderator anyway. Your title is a joke. Even in the Boy Scouts you have to earn your title. On here, all you do is run your mouth and you get promoted. That says volumes for your title. If you read my post, it's been far too long that people don't give ACM credit a lot of the times because douche bags like you just say it's easier to go with the MOE stuff. Wake up you mook, airsoft MOE stuff is ACM. It's all made in China and then shipped off to Hong Kong to sell because you get strung up if you get caught. Folks, if I was trying to just get business off my posts, I would sell the stuff as the real stuff like most do. Did I not say that there should be reviews of the stuff I sell. I was saying that every product should get a shot based on more than just it's brand name. Keep it coming "GENERAL".

If you give me a 50% discount, I will review everything you sell.

[discountairsoft]

I'm up for that. It would be more like my cost for anything you want to report on. I would need it to be 100% accurate no matter if it's good or bad. Do you have a trustworthy reputation?

As far as you can throw me...    No worries, I am a very honest person, both in my reviews, and in my speech, no sugar coating ever.

If you would be willing to enter into such an arrangement, I would be more than happy to participate. I love to write, and I like to play Airsoft, combine that with the vast amount of stuff I have seen or used during my years of play, and I think it could be a very effective system of reviews.

I like where this is headed

Fine, you want to play that way, lets go.  First off, yes, you have met me.  Twice.  There's another member on here that can vouch for it if he's so inclined as we carpooled to your place.  I was in your house for a solid 15 minutes waiting for you to finish helping someone else.  You want me to review the stuff you sold me, fine, here it is in a nutshell.  It's shit.  The Element Noveske rail is threaded crooked and the ACM XTM's won't mount on KWA, ICS, G&G, Madbull, or JBU rails.  They won't mount on the Element rail either but that's moot since the rail is useless.  I'll be happy to post more details if you want.  Frankly though, it was $20, I wasn't expecting much better which is why I didn't make a big deal out of it.  I gave the product a chance like you want people too and it failed.  End of story.

In regards to you "selling the stuff as the real stuff", seems your memory is failing you or you really are as stupid as you pretend to be.  You did advertise them as real until we threatened to kick you to the curb if you didn't change it.  Or have you forgotten about that whole conversation?  Keep this up and you will be finding a new place to do business.  Believe me, none of the staff are fans of you and we've documented all of our (multiple) conversations with you telling you to change your ways.

As far as earning the title goes (which is Administrator for the record), I've earned it with the people that count.  Which does not include you.  All you do is peddle your crap and think you deserve a medal for it.  Big deal, you've got a wholesale account with an ACM supplier.  Big whoop.  Myself and a couple other members have wholesaler accounts with a couple of distributors.  I've just got no interest in using ACM products.  You'll find that people who aren't self righteous douche nozzles learn I actually try to help the sport and have some pull with industry contacts.  Don't make the mistake of thinking I don't do anything just because I don't parade it.

Sounds like a personal problem. No need to get your panties in a ruffle. What can I do to help? You act as if I'm going to get upset with your review as if I made the stuff myself. Any other reviews are welcome and appreciated. Although, you, yourself are sounding a bit on the biased side now.

[discountairsoft]

Sorry for the kiddie fight "Mr. Random 42." I will get off your post now.
