[edit] Masada merge

Interesting development for the rifle. Masada article should be merged here. Koalorka (talk) 21:27, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Yes. I have just full-protected this article to freeze things while I review how to accomplish the merge / move properly. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 21:31, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Um, the 2 pages are virtually, if not, identical. Same wording, layout, etc. Redirect the Magpul Masada page to the Bushmaster ACR page.--Davidwiz (talk) 04:10, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Yes, but if they are merged simply like that, all of the edit history will be lost. Instead of a whole new page being created, the old one should have been moved (renamed). Hayden120 (talk) 05:49, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Originally, the Masada page was redirected to the Bushmaster ACR page. Wouldn't that accomplish the goal of saying the Masada's page edit history? Instead, someone deleted the redirect and created a whole new page for the ACR.--Davidwiz (talk) 15:58, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

The picture needs to be changed; the rear-positioned charging handle shows that the gun in question is a prototype: i.e. the Masada. The ACR places the charging handle far forward on the receiver. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.208.132.212 (talk) 03:10, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
