THE TM MWS thread

[Recoil_]

I was thinking same thing this today lol but need to find something thin but durable.

Mine arrived today, a bit of heatshrink (can be shrunk or left as is). Put it over the rear part. 
 

Use the torx tool to punch a hole. Take the heatshrink off and enlarge the hole slightly so the screw fits nicely. Heatshrink back on and tighten down. No excessive pressure on the catch and it will not scratch the upper receiver.

Not too obvious unless you look up close.

Very nice I will try that on mine tomorrow ?

It's pretty straightforward, just is a shade tighter to screw in but not masses

Tell me you're British, without actually saying you're British.

What parts would I need to replace to use this as a DMR with around 450 FPS?

I was thinking HPA tap the mags as some point as well.

Thanks.

 

[AlphaBear]

HPA? The cheek of it. We don’t talk about such sacrilege to a MWS. Wash your mouth out with whiskey then vodka then rum @GothicGhost ?????

 

[Guest]

File the selector so auto doesn’t work, Run it on HPA, turn the pressure up until you get to 450fps. Job done

Got the magpul bad lever and bolt locks back fine on stock bolt stop so far.

A warning to others do ot use the bad lever as it marks the body of the gun, even after sanding the back lots it will still catch

Big waste of £35 ffs

 why didnt you shrink it too so its even less visible? 

I just put mine on, sure its marked but who gives a toss..its a gun that will get smacked about. You making a showroom piece or a tool for a job?  

 

[quango2k]

Can only see it with the body open

I haven't shrinker it yet as I don't have a blowtorch to hand but it's also my weapon, doesn't affect anyone with it being heatshrinked.

Hi guys, hope your all well, just wanted to run something past a few of you experts, on Saturday I filled 6 mags and took the MK18 out into the garden basically just to zero my holographic sights and have a bit of fun. First 3 mags were fine but as the other 3 sat on the table they were getting colder to the touch, anyway 4th mag goes in and she’s struggling to empty on full auto, and then the gas purged and it was mainly coming out the end of the muzzle/dummy silencer. Now I don’t know if I’m being paranoid but there is now a vibrating spring sound after every shot, I took out the BCG and every time I pull on the nozzle it makes a vibrating sound after it returns to normal position, I don’t know if the sound was always there?  or if I’m just being paranoid?

The vibrating spring noise is part of the BCG. It’s the spring that’s making the erm spring noise. Mine had it too. More like a knicker elastic twang. ??‍

.

The twang is not loud. It’s just there.

Twang, perfectly put, it’s exactly that a twang, so I’m just being paranoid then. My mk18 always struggles on green gas on full auto at around 10 degrees Celsius, got a game Sunday and temp looks to be around 20 so hopefully she performs well.

Stick in Abbey Ultra (red can) It’s green gas but has more punch and easily works well in our cold temperatures at the moment. 
 

To check your mags just get some cheap green gas and expel any air blockages that’s may be in the magazine. Essentially hold the gas release valve open (in) and stick gas through the magazine until it flows out consistently. That’s just to ensure any blockages are cleared.

Awesome advice! cheers dude

What gas do you change to in the winter? Do you just stick with Abbey Ultra?

They say that for a TM MWS fit, I need barrel spacers???

Can someone explain why and where would I put them?

 

[Patrolpointman]

Hi everyone, long time no post for me but thought I'd throw up my latest gat. I'm waiting on the real early D type stock and pistol grip to finish it off as a proper XM16E1.

Base is the MWS M4A1 with a custom upper receiver done by LCS Engineering Outpost. Fencing was removed from the lower by me.

Internals are stock with the exception of the rifle length buffer and tube.

Just Abbey Ultra. It seems fine. 10c bang. 15c bang. 20c bang. 25c lift off ? Some peeps on here use Nuprol red when it’s stupidly cold but I won’t stick anything Nuprol in my MWS anymore that’s for sure. 
 

Don’t forget joule creep though. That may play a wee part.

It will, but only with the barrel spacer from angry gun, which only comes with their outer barrel set. 

The gen1 rails went fine, gen2 they changed the barrel nut for some stupid reason.  

Honestly, save yourself the hassle and either buy a zparts one for a bit more or wait until hao can ship to the UK again as its cheaper than the other options and LEAGUES ahead in quality and fitment.
