Currently i have the HSGI Taco pouches for my MWS Mags

Oh Hi I totally forgot i posted this up haha. So the hop up chamber had to stay the same as its is unique to the Ares WA2000. As for the other parts i upgrade them with the following items: Hop up bucking - I tried both a PDI (https://www.fire-support.co.uk/product/pdi-vsr-10-hop-up-rubber-w-hold-type) and LayLax (https://www.fire-support.co.uk/product/laylaxnineball-hop-rubber-for-marui-vsrl96-and-marui-pistols-purple) one. After some testing i think the PDI one was better but marginally. The Cylinder head, Cylinder, Piston and Spring guide I got was from this set https://www.fire-support.co.uk/product/pdi-precision-palsonite-cylinder-set-hd-for-marui-vsr-10 I must say very well machined and precision made. The Spring i used was this: https://www.fire-support.co.uk/product/pdi-520fps-spring-for-marui-vsr-10-13mm-outer-diameter though i grinded it shorter to bring it down under 500fps on .20g BBs As for sears, i had to keep the trigger mechanism the same as its propriety, i would have preferred a 90 (or zero) degree trigger but that's just not possible in this rifle. I had to keep it 45 degree trigger sear and so upgradded the sear to a steel hardened, which was this one: https://www.fire-support.co.uk/product/pdi-vsr-10--l96-piston-sear-2nd-sear I took it out to skirmish once to test it only, to be honest i didn't get very good test results as it was windy, the light was poor and was forced to use bio BBs and it was hard to see there trajectory. For now i have put this project rifle to bed and plan to probably get or make a 3d printed plunger so that the BBs dont get too scratched up. I also plan on using the Novritch .40BBs some day as they are a) better quality that the Bio BBs i was using and since they are white, should be easy to see on a decent day.

If your tank is rated for 4500PSI (around 300bar) then its rated for that pressure. Your local paintball place probably only has a compressor rated for 3000PSI (232Bar) so will only fill it to that much. Your best best bet is to go and buy a scuba tank rated at 300Bar, then take it to your nearest dive store that has a 300Bar compressor and make them fill it. Once they fill it you need a "Fill Station" mostly likely with a DIN Fitting which you attach to the scuba tank and basically you fill up from the scuba tank using it as a massive reservoir. I have a 12litre 300Bar tank t hat costs me less than £10 to fill and it has lasted around a year.

How long have you owned the secondary regulator (the one that takes 800PSI down to 80PSI). If its a brand new reg, then you need to shoot at least 1000+ shots to bed them in usually. When i converted one of my GHK M4 mags to HPA and appropriately tuned, i was able to get it within a 3+/- FPS range on a well used Redline Firebase Regulator.

I had this issue as well. Bought a UAC flat head trigger in gold. It fitted ok into the ZET trigger box but when test firing it on semi i had to push the trigger forwards by about 1 mm for the sears to properly reset so i could fire off another shot. no matter the filing and lubricating i did i could not sort this out and so reverted back to the stock trigger which worked fine since i didn't modify the stock ZET trigger box.

Oh in full auto skirmish battles im normally the one still toting my MWS, sneakily out flanking them and getting the rear end drop on them "pop, pop, pop" and all that. In skirmish i only ever run 4 + 1 but carry a speed loader, a bag of BBs and Nuprol mini green gas canisters so i can field load the mags again if needed but i don't often reload out in the field. Yeah my speedloaded for the MWS failed spectacularly when the handle snapped, then whilst sitting for lunch it fell some 3 feet to a hard tiled floor and split the top of it open. Useless cheap 3D printed piece of crap it was.

Personally i use the HSGI Taco pouches, they always hold my MWS mags in tightly, never had them jumping out and i do a lot of running. Thing is though the HSGI pouches only accept one mag but i can double stack them but not that i do to reduce front weight and clutter when lying down. I only carry 5 mags into game with me, 4 in the chest right and 1 in the gun. TBH Milsim is one of the few (if not the best) times when GBBR is king, especially the TM MWS even in its out of the box stock performance. Even in full blown, full auto skirmishes i have had plenty of success with the TM MWS, just means you gotta pick your shots or fights better, makes you more stealthy. Even for full auto or semi auto skirmishes i only run 5 mags with me, 4 on rig and 1 in the gun.

I'm like you i would not paint any of my guns from anything other than stock. Most guns i've see people DIY paint look bad (in my opinion) some people don't even strip the gun for painting. The only gun i ever owned that i painted was a KWA Kriss Vector that i got second hand, previous seller failed to mention that it was a two tone that he had spray painted black, and poorly at that. I stripped it down to bare parts, carefully prepped and primed the parts that needed painting. Two coats of primer, followed by 4 light coats of paint sanded in between and then two further coats of lacquer later, each coat had 24 hours drying period in between. I had a two tone sparkling black and bronze Vector. Sold it a year later, ive been keeping my eye out for it to see if it ever crops up on the market again. But in general i never paint my guns and do my best to keep them looking stock colour. As for RS on my MWS i have a real steel Magpul MOE-SL Stock and MOE grip, Magpul sling point and sling.

Assuming you have never had a GBBR before, avoid going cheap not name brand or even cheap brand sights for the TM GBBRs. Remember most airsoft clone sights are made more for looks than functionality, you might slap on a RDS on a GBBR then zero it but after 5 shots or so find that its no longer zero'd due to poor manufacturing and tolerances as these sights have difficulty maintaining a zero due to the recoil shock (as little as it may be) on a GBBR. Buy a reputable brand sight that has been tested to withstand recoil shock, .22 should be fine, no need for it to withstand .338 Lapua Magnum recoil. A lot of people will recommend Vortex sights, i myself have equipped my MWS with a Vortex StrikeFire II Red Dot Sight, it has never lost zero despite hundreds of rounds being through my MWS and if its damaged in anyway bar deliberate damage they will replace it, no ifs, no buts for the lifetime of the sight. Yeah you pay extra but you get a nitrogen filled sight (so no internal fogging), its waterproof, holds its zero, well made and has a lifetime no quibble warranty.

Hhmmm i see some pople having issues with their MWS, i will count my lucky stars then. Took my TM MWS out on Sunday and my oh my di it impress. Yeah Using Green Gas she was shooting 330FPS using .020g BBs and around 295FPS on .28g BBs. Stock Hop chamber, hop arm, hop rubber and bucking the MWS was sending BBs so far i was losing sight of them. My Vortex optics was so on point that where ever i pointed it at was guaranteed a hit! Gas in mags were good enough for full auto dump (not that i do this, i use mostly semi). Lock back worked everytime, i must say iw as mucho impressed and plan to take her out again.

How is it for you? John ( tech) from Wolf Armouries advised me to get the Strike Hop up arm instead of the Six G nub, he wasnt dissiing the SixG. He just said he has had very good experiences with the Laylax arm. Anyone else use the Laylax Hop Up Arm? I got one in the end and i am thinking of installing it. Going to a game on Sunday and will be using 0.28g BBs. Is the stock hop up nub able to lift this weight?

Hard luck, i guess you have tried looking at Eagle 6? https://eagle6.co.uk/shop/catalog/product/view/id/2501/s/tokyo-marui-m4a1-mws-magazine-bb-lip-for-m4-gbbr-series/ Shown Out of stock at the moment, put your self on teh waiting list and hope he gets stock soon.

Cheers for that 225mm is about 8.85inches which throws my idea out of the window Looks like i might have to fork out for a RS Magpul Remington stock then.

Quick two questions from you guys 1) Does anyone know where i can get just the stock for the Amoeba? 2) Could someone measure that action length? This is the length from the centre of the bolt just behind the trigger guard to the centre of the bolt in front of the magwell. It should either be 6.5inches (short action) or 7.35inches (long action). Image below for reference: Reason i ask is i like the look of the Amoeba Stock, looks very similar to the Magpul Remington 700 stock except that stock is £300+ from Brownells and only accepts a tapered barrel wheres the Amoeba accepts bull barrels by the look of it and i want to transplant another bolt rifle into it. TIA

Been there twice in a month. Website is awful but better than what it used to be (think early 2000s myspace) Front of the store has tactical clothing and gear, back of the store (away from the public window) is where the magic happens. Its basically their stock room but more or less opened to customers to browse, pick up and buy. Its also one of those niche stores where if your looking for a certain part they might have it, a bit like Firesupport. Staff are friendly and their technician Jon knows his stuff.

My Recent TM MWS skirmishing experience yesterday on 03-03-19 at The Plantation Airsoft, Billericay, Essex. I must say that often when i take guns out for their first outing i'm always a bit apprehensive of how they will perform because whilst i can tech and chrono at home, i have no way to test range and accuracy. My GHK M4 Mod1 and Ares WA2000 are recent prime examples of this when on their first outing they really failed to impress me with their range despite the amount of money i had sank into hop up and barrel upgrades hoping that they would hit the mark. So recently as some of you may know i got hold of this TM MWS second hand, it had already had some some changes (i put the gold on it, it was stock when i got it), i didn't like the 7" RIS rail (too short), didn't like the fact that the inner barrel extended through the flash hider and whilst the pistol grip and stock were Magpul inspired, they weren't REAL Magpul (PTS i think). BEFORE SO i put a barrel extender on it to lengthen the outer barrel by 2 inches so that the flash hider would clear the inner barrel, but this necessitated a 9inch RIS rail which i bought from Wolf Armouries, i went to my GHK M4 Mod 1 and removed the Vortex Optics StrikeFire Red dot sight, the real steel Magpul pistol grip and Magpul MOE stock and put it on the MWS. Had a small issue with the BCG not locking back (see pages 31 to 33 of this thread) but between me and Nathan the Tech at Airsoft Zone we deduced that it must be the BCG and magazine springs, he also kindly installed a lightweight bolt catch in my MWS which i brought into the shop with me. Stretching the magazine springs out solved the issue. AFTER Now she was battle ready or so i hoped as i had not tested the accuracy or range of my TM MWS, i was hoping that it would be like how my TM M92FS wow'd me the first time i used it where the BB seem to travel for miles out ranging even AEGs. First skirmish day at The Plantation Airsoft, Billericay. (MUDDY AF due to recent rain) I'm apprehensive to say the least, i have brought the MWS but also my trusty SAI M4 HPA gun as i know that one works. Mags are loaded and gassed. Take the MWS to the range, hop is set to completely off, using .25g BBs and fired the first shot. OMG! BB flew decently far, with hop off? Adjusted the hop, a little of backward and forwarding and i got it just right. BBs flew for miles straight, i was IMPRESSED! I played the first half of the day with the TM and loved it, more so than when i used the GHK M4 MOD1. I knew i could pull the trigger and the MWS would reliably work whereas the GHK was pull the trigger and please work?! My only complaint is that i had to adjust my game style, no more burst autoing every where or i would have no more ammo, i had to go back to the safe zone twice in two staggered games to re gas and reload but i was much happier using the TM MWS. It did make me wonder, why did i buy the GHK, when i wanted a GBBR the TM MWS was on my potentials list but i dismissed it since it would mean that if i wanted to install a keymod rail, i would have to buy a rail, a barrel spacer, get rid of that triangle sight etc etc. But i still would have saved money if i didn't buy the GHK, i am now strongly considering selling the GHK as its surplus to needs. To the future, i'm probably going to leave the MWS like this because "IT WORKS". I know there's this magical brass nub thingy but I don't want to fiddle removing the hop and stuff otherwise the TM hop fairy dust might be blown away. I might just buy some more Magpuls for the mags and possibly get a Gold BCG but that's it really.

No worries, thanks for the offer though.

I live in London, North East side near Stratford.

Hahaha Yeah i did stretch the magazine spring which i think is used to push the little nubbin up for the bolt catch. The spring that attaches to the pin at the bottom the ZET mech seems to be ok, its under a lot of tension when i put the rod back in.

Well i'm at wits end, the buffer tube cap screw was fine. I can only think that when i do actually use the gun outdoor, the colder temps will cause the gas to lower its pressure so the bolt lock "should" work. I have a light weight bolt catch (spanner thingy) on the way so i'll keep you guys updated. Otherwise ill be using my GHK M4 Which does lock back.

Which spring? the buffer spring or the ZET spring at the bottom of the trigger mech?

The GHK buffer i used was the light buffer with a spring on the end, namely this one: http://fg-airsoft.com/en/buffers-and-related/392-lightweight-buffer-for-m4-.html I have just used Abbey Predator Gun Gas 144a and the bolt lock works perfectly every time. FPS is down from 350 ~360 to 300FPS

ASG Ultair Currently shooting in my room, around 18 to 20 C

Ok in testing this and having stripped the gun down several times now. I have tried: Cleaning and regreasing the trigger mech Tried both bolt catches (Stock and UAC) Tried both magazine catches (Stock and UAC) Tried pressing in and pulling out the mag with the mag locked in place Firing in semi and full auto though sometimes on full auto it locks back So far i am stumped as to why its not locking back Out of curiousity i also installed a stock GHK M4 buffer and spring. With the GHK spring and TM Buffer, no locking back With TM Spring and GHK buffer lock back worked every single time though it does feel like theres some metal to metal contact at the fullest pull on the BCG so its not an ideal fix as i suspect at some point there's going to be too much wear and tear on the BCG. I have cut the spring inside the TM Buffer to shorten its travel but this made no difference. I have ordered a light weight bolt catch and see if that plays any game, hopefully it arrives tomorrow.
