From what i understand, the CYMA/EMG one doesn't like MWS parts so might as well be propriety.
The DE is meant to be ok, but some Gen 1 issues, like the bolt doesn't fully close. But probably good enough that you could put mws internals and use mws mags at a later date.
I've had the misfortune of talking to a couple of Americans on Reddit about this. There seems to be a theme running through their thought process of only dealing in absolutes.
When the VCRA kicked it, we formed bodies, lobbied for compromise and tried to ring fence the sport (could strongly argue for the good).
The Americans are very much in the stance of the bill must be stopped at all costs, and not even willing to compromise on some sort of USARA or have a body formed to be that focal point between the law makers and retailers/importers/players.
Which is a tad ironic considering how much power the NRA holds over there, and their lobbying has made buying a gun in some places so simplistic.
Thats just reminded me - Vans now do outdoor boot/trainer things. I got a pair of MTE 2 hi tops for japan, and they were great. Did about 15 miles a day on average and they were great. Would've been ruined in normal trainers.
Something like these could be a good airsoft boot

I recommend Oakley boots if you can find them.
I got a pair of gucci ones for my 18th birthday. I'm 37 in 6 months and apart from the toe cap needing some polish, they really are as good as new
I've been trying to use the madbull adapter and propane and it just wont fill.
Various Airsoft gas - fills
Yellow bottle Mapp - fills
Blue propane - jizzes everywhere
So after completely forgetting about this pistol for about 10 years after longing for it for ages: I was Googling WA SVI’s, trying to find a price for mine to sell at an airsoft boot sale last weekend, and went down a small rabbit hole of other WA pistols - setting off multiple old memories of pre VCRA days.
Then at said boot sale, a van pulls up directly opposite me and what do you think they have…
WA Colt Delta Elite.
I think it was a sign that I had to buy it.
From memory the TM M4 is different to ta GBB.
The AEG goes:
- Body
- Barrel
- Screw Barrel Nut
- Spring
- Retaining collar
And also has 2 screws to hold the outer barrel in place
Found this down the back of the cupboard, forgot I even had it.
3 mags total, all still has tight. Shoots well. Locks back as expected.
No box.
About 6.5/10 condition. Some scratches but no major chips or chunks missing
Theres always mags, you just need to know where to look.
I picked up 4 TM mp5 mags in Osaka in March just walking into a shop. There's so many shops that stock TM stuff IN Japan, that finding things is easy. And as it's easy in Japan, this equates to TM going, "It's OK"
Once you slap on a ton of extra weighty not very useful for airsoft accessories, they look a quite tasty. Longer suppressor also helps balance the looks i think.
Its a Maxim Defense PDX

With the black one being MDX

New bits of gucci kit as its an AR platform that fires 5.56, 300BLK and commie 7.62
There's a boot sale next weekend - i figure without a bolt carrier bodypart, and with the mag and stuff £400?
Going rate seems to be £500 for lightly used with 1 mag, so that seems fair?
photo wise, its just a Vanilla TM mk18 with the usual light use scratches.
Bolt - it's an AG bolt, and the 2 screws holding the nozzle guide are basically welded in with theadlock, so i can't get the nozzle out to change the buffer.
My choices are:
- Swap out the bolt with my other MWS which is a standard with NPAS
- Swap out the bolt body so its a TM bolt with AG nozzle, and rebuild my other bolt with parts i choose (probably the most favoured option)
- Buy a 2nd hand complete bolt
