  1. 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

    But you can't get on a lot of Japanese websites any more due to law changes. 

     

    Liz truss devalued the pound and made buying from Japan a lot more expensive. 

     

    And a flight to osaka, (it's something I'm really wanting to do) to buy 4 tm mags is not really within everyone's grasp. 

     

    I bought one of the first TM AKMs that arrived in the UK and was stuck with a genuinely good gun that I couldn't get mags for without losing a kidney. One retailer was asking, and getting, 100 quid per mag. 

    thats what im saying -  there are mags, just not in the same vicinity as us.

    Shame TM will screw it up and there won't be any mags in stock for years (like the AKM).

     

    But I will say I do really like the look of this. I think I'd want a drum mag though.

    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"

    The black DE is less ugly than the tan one, partly because of the longer barrel, but it still doesn't float my boat

    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.

     

    SEAL Team Renewed for Season 6 at Paramount+ - TV Fanatic

  5. 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?

  6. 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

    If it’s tiny screws that may strip &  it’s loctite just try holding the tip of a soldering iron in the screw head for a minute , the heat will often soften the loctite without damaging anything else .

    i'll give it a try, nothing to lose

     

    Edit: An hour in and still no luck. I've basically cut off the bolt carrier key to try and get at the screws better, but still not budging

     

    2nd edit: yeah, nah, its fucked

    Ran the AngryGun nozzle again last sunday, zero issues with it now as I replaced the sealing buffer with the stock TM one. The AG sealing buffer is too wide and causes friction which can cause mid-cycle jams.

     

    so box of goodies i ordered from Fire support turn up to try and cure a similar problem. Go to disassemble to bolt and the 2 screws on the top are solid. Like proper solid. So now seeing if the penetrating fluid will help - if not, have to break out the tools and buy some new screws .

     

    When a 5 minute job turns into a 4 day one...

  9. So fiddling and cleaning gbbr’s and I’m trying to fill mags.

     

    In the MWS chat there chat about filling and gas pressures.

     

    But I have come across something that someone might be able to find useful.

     

    nuprol 2.0 - fills

     

    blue gas - does not fill the mags

     

    yellow gas - works like a charm

     

    same goes for WE ACR mags. I still have various TM and WE pistols to try.

     

    Anyone who knows more about that have any ideas what all that means.

    This seems to be common with v3 mags, I have v3 mags and have had a similar issue. 

     

    My "work around" has been to use ultra air gas and abbey. Nuprol has been hit and miss and using propane was a complete waste. 

     

    My suspicions are around the nozzle on the gas not fitting into the valve quite right, rather than the gas itself. Add onto that I'm a gbbr noob and I didn't want to mess with it over cold games, so just getting it back into action. 

    I'm experiencing the same.

     

    Nuprol green, fills in about 8 seconds and fires lovely.

     

    Propane adapter, I get about 3 shots worth.

     

     

    On another note, I've got a mk18 that i got in a bundle deal I've noticed the nozzle seems to be dragging on the bolt. The spring seems snappy as it starts its journey back perfectly, but then i hear it rubbing, almost like air is escaping from it.

     

    Edit, on closer inspection it looks like an AG drop in set, so not sure why its rubbing. I think that when it gets low gas/cold, the bolt cycles but the nozzle doesn't. So maybe a 170% spring is needed?

     

    Edit 2: Post on pg90 says the AG buffer is too big and drags, so maybe that first?

  11. Probably going to sell one of the MWS's as its now surplus to requirements

     

    As i got it lightly used, I'm trying to remember the internal build, but I will assume its stock apart from the bits i can see.

     

    - MWS Mk18 VGC, light scratches around the rear stock tube collar, 2 mags total

    - NPAS

    - RS AR15 Buffer spring

    - AG heavy weight buffer + original

    - AG (?) rear sling plate

    - MP22 wrench for when you need to do a hop rubber change

    - Spare nozzle spring set as the current one is on this side of usable but a wee bit sluggish

     

     

  12. I got my car keys stolen when i was 17 (luckily they didn't steal the car).

     

    My dad shouted at me, but basically taught me to ask "Would I leave my wallet there?" If the answer is no, then don't leave anything valuable there.
