THE TM MWS thread

[Davegolf]

That was the main thing with the Modify Tan, its a softer rubber / silicone so first shot and cold shot performance is better than the TM bucking - provided you get a good one, sounds like you have

 

[alxndrhll]

Aye, performance has never been an issue with the Modify tans. The durability on the other hand… for a bucking as costly as they are I struggle to justify how long they survive on average.

Can you give an approximate round count?

Can you give an approximate round count?

I've had ranging from the 500 mark up to perhaps 3000ish, having gone through probably 4 of them. Too wide a range without enough of a sample size to present anything other than anecdotal evidence, but at £13-15 a pop I just never felt like I was getting great value out of what is ultimately a consumable part.

Anyone got experience with this brand or good tips.

I ditched my Modify Tan after a couple of hundred shots.... I found the lip started to disintegrate so went back to the Marui bucking. Have to be honest I can't fault the Marui bucking... It does what it says on the Tin and I've done about 1000 shot's through it with no issues..

I like the original bucking, just had some issues in the colder weather with accuracy. Several thousand rounds in on the Modify tan and its working well for now- I've also got a handguard that allows for removal and hop/barrel swap in under 3 minutes so swapping a bucking isn't the worst thing in the world for me...but we'll see how long this one lasts

 

[Jan Mulder]

heey! I have an original TM bolt carrier. I have now bought a used bolt carrier without a nozzle. want to buy another nozzle. which one do you recommend? t8, angry gun, g&p or guns modify. Can't find an original TM anywhere. otherwise my tm is completely standard. with kind regards Jan

 

[Davegolf]

DP or Modify work pretty well

 

[Jan Mulder]

heey thanks! what is the fps with the guns modify?

Hey all,

This thread has slowly become a behemoth lol, and I’m struggling to see which advice is correct so asking the question.

Have a big standard MWS that I’m looking to get more from. I’ve bought the modify tan bucking, six g nub, and an npas from eBay.

What barrel length, and bore should I use to get close to 350 fps? I believe standard length is 250mm, what length can I get in the standard M4?

Thanks

 

[Davegolf]

370 in an M4A1

 

[scar527]

What @davegolf said. Only thing I'd add to your list is a spare nozzle return spring, 150% if you can find one. Don't change anything else other than what you listed above, and honestly I love my tan modify but you could run the stock bucking for ages before it wears out(Mine lasted 10K rounds, Modify is the same great accuracy just better in the cold than rubber, wears out faster though)

 

[n00b1982]

Thanks both for the replies.

Nice to have confirmation at least lol

Finally managed to grab some used mags locally around here in Canada! Sadly got one that leaks. I see you many have mentioned the use of Gunsav lube, and managed to source some here! It's so thick so I safely assume this is best used for a full tear down of the mag and applying it all over the seals and o-rings?

Erm I wouldn't apply that to the Mag seals / O rings buddy... Either get new O rings and seals or some Abbey maintenance gas in the first instance.... Or even some silicon oil... The pink stuff is best to use on the piston.

Precisely as @AlphaBearsays, save the pink goop for your piston pal.

For your mags, start off by whacking a bunch of maintenance gas in there. You may need to put in quite a bit but it should work. Otherwise, a tiny bit of regular silicon grease on the seals and o-rings is another option. Failing that, replace them.

Anyone know where I can get a new barrel nut for the tm mws mk18? I tore mine up getting it off, it has no effect on the use, and cant see it when the rail is on just winding me up knowing lol
