THE TM MWS thread

A hack saw

I cut it in half, side to side, so it was half as long ?


Is it just me that got very nervous and a sweaty top lip when I read this!! ? You are a braver man than I am @rocketdogbert!! ?

on another note, I have had my first issue with my CQBR (well one of the magazines at least). I was testing distance with the stock bucking etc when I got a miss feed and the bolt didn’t lock back. On removing the magazine I saw that the bb’s were sitting about 5mm below the feed lip as can be seen in the photos. I haven’t had chance to strip it yet but I assume either the follower has got jammed or the spring has snapped. Guess I will find out when I strip it. ?

@RobHedley nothing will have snapped. I’ve had this before, usually using crap BB’s but it sometimes happens with shit ones. To fix it either slap the mag with the palm of your hands or if that doesn’t fix it, you can use something thin to push down the second bb that you can see. That will release the tension and fix it. 

If its a persistent issue, strip the mag and clean the bb tube. 

 
@Wo1f That does make sense. The BBs I was using were a bottle of ASG Blasters that I had inherited when I bought a Second hand AEG last year. I assumed they were new as it was a full bottle. When I put them back in the cupboard after using them and the mag jamming I noticed they a number of them were tracers and glowing. I assume now that they are a miss match that the guy just bottled up. I will chuck them when I get home and use the new ones I bought. 

Thanks for the pointer ?

Happend to me. I have just feeded some more bbs in the mag and then spray them out on full auto. Fixed the problem - and it was also a mix of tracers...

I used to get that on my GHK; the BB follower would get caught on the part that had the feed lips leaving 2 bbs bouncing around. A quick file job inside to round off the edge allowed it to feed correctly (just saying incase it happens again with new BBs, ya never know... plus what others have said :) )

 
well riformulating the question:

how many BBs can you shoot in a single fill of gas with an unmodded magazine?

Before I did the green gas mod on mine I got around 40 (one full mag then a couple more once refilled with BBs). That was on Abbey Predator Ultra Gas. After the mod I easily got 3 mags on a single fill and it fired a few no trouble out of a 4th refill.

What joule ratings do you guys get with the Stock inner barrel and 0.3g BBs? My home site is very strict on joules and I don't have any 0.3g BBs at home, would like to hear peoples results before I order truckloads of these BBs only to be disappointed that I can't use them. Thanks.

It depends on what MWS version you have:

- 1st models released in november 2015 came out at 1.7J with 0.2s

- then CQBR got released and they changed the rocket valve + drilled holes in the nozzle, 1.3J with 0.2s

- the current models shoot around 0.8J and I don't know what changes were made

And I don't know if there have been any other models between 2nd and 3rd gen. 

However if you actually know how hot your rifle shoots, you should be able to figure it out on your own. I didn't get significant joule creeps when increasing BB weight

 
Finally got around to installing the Fang Billet trigger guard, for which I had to file a bit of the lower down, both near the magwell and the grip.

I am aware the screw on the other side isn't fully threaded in yet, I don't actually have the right size torx screwdriver handy at the moment, will get one tomorrow though so all's well!

Just wondering, but do any of you guys have a "spare" MWS upper or know a place where they are in stock?

 
Finally got around to installing the SI Advanced Buffertube with the Multi-Function Endplate & Anti-rotation Castle nut, looking sweet. Shame my day is still terrible as my upper receiver broke ?.

Might have sourced one from Italy but awaiting a tracking number to be able to sleep tonight (so basically no sleep tonight as I obviously will not get one on Sunday evening). Really hope it works out

because that was literally the only place on the world wide web I could find that had them in stock, although nowadays a website saying in stock doesn't mean a whole lot...

@RobHedley I rather you don't ask...? still makes me feel bad. But in all seriousness, I think my bev block wasn't inserted correctly when I torqued down the barrel nut. Perhaps in combination with a weaker than average upper?? I am not entirely sure but I am sure I did not put too much stress on it. I had another

MWS before this and I actually torqued the barrel nut down without a bev block and there was no problem. Sucks but as long as I can manage to get a new upper...shit happens.

“Broke” is not the right term for this. You should have used “catastrophic failure”.
