THE TM MWS thread

[Wild Weasel]

Going back to the topic of the MWS green gas mod... Is there any specific length the gas tube should be cut off? 

Cut mine 15mm past the valve top by making a bench hook and using the same hacksaw 'kerf' to ensure some sort of consistency over all my mags by having the syphon tubes exactly the same.

Does anyone have any experience with fixed stock kits?

Would the metal buffer slow down the fire rate and the snappy response I have with stock mws?

Also what the three black bits and clear tube for?

Thank you.

The three weights are for inside the buffer and the tube is to take up the slack.

There were a few requests for pics of the Hao L119A2 MWS kit. I’m getting ahead of myself because my AFG still isn’t arrived but this is the gun as it stands. 

My garden is too short to do anything other than basic checks but everything seems to work. With the stock bolt it’s at 0.9J (310fps on 0.2s). The Laylax strike arm seems as good as the nub was on my other MWS but hard to tell at this stage.

You gotta love RS steel optics....  the rest of the RIF ain't too bad either

I'm rolling with a UNITY Fast most at the moment. I'm actually finding it better than the 1/3 co-witness. Target acquisition is so much faster too which is a bonus, although it takes a little time getting used to your new head position.

Thanks! The optics themselves are actually replicas- the mounts are real though!

It was the mounts I saw which made me assume the optics were real . It’s a lovely build! Period.

@TadsJ2

Any triggerbox should work with the SLR kit. But as with anything in airsoft you can't know for sure and even the most expensive kits might need a bit of modding. 

yeah, i dig the looks so much, probably gonna grab SLR kit for mws when i will be grabbing SLR kit for AKM 

 

[Hypokondrikern]

@TadsJ2 let me know when you want to get rid of the empty receiver. 

MWS oracle, there's something that has puzzled me for hours today. I insert a mag in my CQBR lower. No problem. With the upper and lower assembled ( note without BCG ), the mag release gets really stiff and sometimes doesn't fully reseat itself on the selector side ( i.e it doesn't become flush with the receiver ), I have to push it back into position. Also releasing the mag is stiff and requires a lot of force. 

I tried to pair the CQBR lower with my MWS upper and MWS lower with CQBR upper. No problems. Mag release has equal amounts of revolutions tightened on both rifles. Yet problems emerge as I put together CQBR upper and lower...
Any idea of what it could be? 

(They are painted differently, thus no easy fix of combining MWS and CQBR for two working rifles...)

Edit @RMDavis

I can see that you had a similar problem last year. How's the rifle today?

TO THOSE WHO OWN A G&P ADJUSTABLE TRIGGER

Has anyone been able to sort out the trigger reset issue on this trigger? 

Mine just started acting up the other day. As others have stated previously, the trigger will fire on semi and then will get stuck in the rearward position -- not reseting forward. 

Any solutions here or should I just go back to the stock trigger? Huge disappointment so far...

What lube are you using in it? Seems that they can be picky about heavier oils and greases. I use Locksmiths graphite spray (Amazon or your local locksmiths) as it is super slick and dry so doesn't pick up dirt. The other issue is that the spring tension on a lot of the trigger parts is offset to one side making the parts twist and bind, might be worth stripping down and seeing if opposite corners of any parts are showing wear (and everything is running smooth, can re-assemble with no springs to check everything plays nice with its neighbours)

Thanks the the response. I have not lubed it at all since I opened the package and installed it.

How my MWS is performing these days...

As @SSPKali has said, over time the part work harden and develop little burrs as material gets pushed around.

A strip down, file / deburr / wet sand, clean and re lube are the answer.

This will leave you with a better than new action.

The standard trigger can be pretty nice.

 

[occidio]

The standard plastic buffer is perfectly fine, you just need a stronger buffer spring to manage the forces.

A metal buffer is not good for anything long term.

Name on spring?

So now there are gen 3 MWS mags? What the actual #bleep#. There’s a post on the Facebook group if anyone is interested.

Ah! yeah, I see it now ??

hmmm I wonder if it’s just a mod as they maybe ran out of the older parts??? Or they may be cheaper???

either way the gas tube looks the same across all 3 off them …. Might have to GG mod my v2’s now

 

[MalcyFett]

Got this today & 3 extra mags. Will spend time this week installing a bcm grip, brass nub and some other external parts.

How many mags do folks generally run for a day? I’m thinking if I grab one more to take it to 5 in total, that should be enough.

I run 1 + 4 in rig and rarely run out. I keep loose BBS in my trouser pocket and top up mags as I go along, slotting them in 1 at a time with fingertips.
