Foodbasics sent me a PM. I'm going to post it up since it 100% answers all my questions. I bolded the questions so it's easier to read but it's otherwise verbatim.

Hi Macdrian,

A friend linked me to your thread and I was just wanted to introduce you to our SBR and answer your questions from the thread.

1. When was this gun released? Has it been out for long enough to get any user background?

We received various samples starting in the 2nd half of 2016 and finalized a production version that was released in October 2017, so it's pretty new for sure.

2. To me it looks like a gun/mechbox made of no-name parts. I am not nearly knowledgeable enough to discern what I'm looking at. Could someone with more experience give some feedback?

The parts are comparable/identical to aftermarket zci/shs, with the exception of the motor which is just a standard motor. The gun is quite durable and very reliable. The gun definitely does not feel cheap, it's somewhat hefty and very solid with no wobble.

The gun also comes with two pmag style midcaps which are extremely nice and some consider to be one of the best midcaps on the market. Definitely comparable to the PTS EPM at a much more attractive price point.

I hope that gives you a little insight into our latest products. We used to distribute LCT products before deciding to focus more on ARs and the goal was to adopt a similar mindset as LCT for build quality, quality control, etc.

Lastly, while VFC is an excellent brand, I feel that the value for our gun is unbeatable. Comparing it to the most popular $400 VFC Fighter, you get a similar external build quality and slightly better gearbox internals on the MAS SBR. The VFC will have a slightly better stock motor.

Adding a shs or zci high torque motor as well as a basic 3034 mosfet would bring the MAS quite far above the stock VFC and you'd still be a fair amount under $400.

Thanks for your interest in our products! We have a few retailers on board to carry our offerings and more to come. Of course if you have any questions don't hesitate to message me on Facebook or email at Jacob@MapleAirsoftSupply.ca.
