Give the devil his due!

An email to Ares HK was Nov 9/11. On the 25th they responded with availability of all the parts I required. I have, today, made Paypal payment per their notes. I'll let you know how that works out.

*fingers crossed*

Probably the one who sold it to you didn't include it.

Heh ARES was contracted to make Magpul PTS Masada right? Well I gota problem here,none of my hex screws/Allen keys fight the Tappet plate on my gun and am unable to swap my spring to lower velocity. Currently shooting 395 fps it's too hot for indoor?

Do you know the correct allen key size for this part so that I may acquire the correct size?

ARES made the gearbox for the Magpul ACR PTS.. the design itself is horrible, let alone the parts.

Maybe I should chime in alittle.

I own a Star SL8 and as you know Star and ARES parts are.. interchangeable. However, most ARES products are out of stock in most shops.

So like any diligent HKer, I found their office and went up to their showroom to buy some stuff in December 2011. It has a very family-runned feel there. I asked some questions regarding parts, and one of the more experienced sales staff came out from the office and started chatting it up with me (I was the only customer there on a Saturday morning)

Some notable points in our discussion were:

1) They know that there's a negative image of them. Case in point is that almost all of the HK airsoft stores don't actively promote or re-stock their products.

2) They noted they have improved the quality of their guns and parts. For example, they have redesigned parts of the SL8/9 (finally).

3) Apparently there is a store in Canada that is dealing with ARES, and ordered a huge shipment of guns and parts recently.

just a thought here if you can walk down to there show room and buy replacement parts off the wall you should become a retailer

Perks of living in the same city as the airsoft companies

However, I don't like going there since I live in the opposite direction of them. It takes me an hour by subway, then 15 mins by bus just to reach their office.

But they do have all the parts you ever wanted. That UMP/SL8 silencer which EhobXX never has? Oh, its there in the showroom, waiting to be bought.
