I'm probably asking the obvious, but are the mags leaking at all? Could be a slight leak at the output valve or the main o ring inside the mag? I take it, when it fails, there is no gas left in the mag? That's all I can think of at the mo!

If you'd asked this several years ago, id had said the WE, just based on price and available spare part/ upgrades. Having owned several of them, there was never any huge issues with the ones i had. Now, however, id say the MWS platform. The DE versions seem a superb buy and parts are a lot more readily available for the MWS system. The reliability seems second to none and overall id say is the best option to get into GBB's (or if you own a gbb already and looking for other options)

It's not the best selector in the world! I took the lower off mine, undid the inside tiny grub screws (146 on diagram) and stretched the springs a little bit. That improved it a tad bit.

yes, i will go for the mws platform as well. A lot more versatile in regards to upgrades etc by the looks of it!

You might have seen them already, but check out Middle age gamers youtube channel. He does some cgs/mws comparisons.

Don't regret it at all. I also used to hpa all my gbbr's (not by an adaptor, but making my own dual stack mags) but have now given all that up and gone just gas. I have a saiga 12k, AA G36 and now a ghm9. Ill eventually get an aeg for those really cold days, but nothing has got my attention more than another GBB! lol

Nice write up, Ive been looking into getting one myself. The price seems very good for what you get.

Yep. thats what you need. Be aware, that depending on the valve location, you may need to drill a larger hole for the hpa adapter to fit.

I think there was a bad batch of these a while back? but thought they would have all been cleared by now! Id contact where you bought it from just in case.

The kwa was one of my first gbbr's many years ago. Full auto never worked! From filing down feed lips and the bb feeding ramp, it just constantly chopped Bb's to bits. There were several articles on it, and it looks like it was never resolved. Get a refund of you can! As for WE? Never had an issue with mine and was a great little AK.

I owned a WE apache for a good while and it was superb. I then fitted a maple leaf barrel and nub and by god, it was accurate! Was one of my regrets now having got rid of it, but i was low on cash. Just seen Taiwangun had the SD on offer so bought another..this time ill keep it no matter what.

I had the vdc and my brother had the TM. Having used both, i would buy either! They have issues, as mentioned above, and to be honest, the size of the tm didnt bother me, as it felt good to use. Your choice at the end of the day

It's a good choice, and will have the warranty as well. I accidentally switched mine on without changing the voltage on the transformer which blew it! I contacted their support and a new one was sent out the following day.

It was an amazon purchase. I got lucky as they were offering a discount at the time.
