Dear John,

Thank you for your opinion we will pass your information out production team.
For your information, we are developing a upgrade trigger set for the MS338, the whole unit will be in steel. Exact release date is not confirmed, but it will be available by this year.

Thats good to hear! But expect the price to be quite high id imagine.

Is the upgrade free?

If not, then the Ares is not exactly lower cost than the competitor.

I have the VFC ASW338LM and that has worked flawless for and it does work with VSR10 upgrades. It seemed expensive at first, but the quality paid off.

Arktic,

Would your CNC guy be willing to do a run on the trigger parts. Its great Ares will have some out "this year" but there is no guarantee it won't be the exact same design, just with different materials.

I have an MSR on the way as well as a TM hop, and PDI hop, and a PDI cylinder set all in a TM VSR-10. I was planning on trying everything, and up until I saw you had a pattern for CNC trigger parts I was planning on modding the weapon to take a PDI V trigger....

It would be happy to but it was done as a favor from a friend from the cnc guy at his work. I dont want to take advantage of his generosity. He does it in his spare time basically.

This rifle is actually quite a big disappointment. Im getting my locking bar back tomorrow from cnc so I can finally test out every thing this weekend. I have had this rifle over a month and only used it once....

Well I didn't mean for free, if he wants to make some cash in his free time let me know. However it sounds like just making the V trigger fit is the better idea.

I will ask and see what he says. I was thinking of that as well but the ares trigger box is a lot smaller than any of the other triggers out there. So hopefully there is a way to make one of the other trigger boxes work.

Does anyone know by chance were a guy could pick one up in canada?

not yet that ive seen but try asking TA they may get it or be able to order one for you or find a retailer that ships to canada and be sure to confirm the fps meets the regulations

Arctik, anyway you would be willing to share your CAD file for the trigger parts?

I would if I could. I didnt make them. They guy that did my parts drew up the cad files as well. Not sure if he still has them. I will ask him if he still has them.

Well just got this in from Ehobbyasia, all i have to say is WOW

Dear Sir,

It is a factory fault because the sear dissipate too quickly. But we are sorry that we are unable to offer compensation over this issue.

Wow so basically you are shit outa luck......

Man this gun is such a fail. Im just lucky I was able to have the parts made for me.

I have to say mine shoots beautifully, but once it starts slam firing it'll be a wall hanger I guess... I still haven't dug into it to see if I can force a VSR trigger into it.... with the position of the magwell I don't think it'll be possible.
