I've asked firesupport to order some in and they've said they'll be with them within a few weeks. Personally I'm after them as part of my impression build as they seem to be the first good P-mags and they have been used by SF guys. The round count is the same as my TM mp7 so not a massive difference really, but the much larger gas chamber *may* help with cool down if you like full auto. I'll probably stick a full review up when I get my hands on some.

FRV slings are reasonable for the price, but the webbing is only 1" which isn't actually that comfortable. But that's just my experience. The plus side is that the hardware is reasonable. Although there are better out there. Can I ask how often you actually use your sling? (Since I use mine a lot I went for a magpul MS3, alternatively Andy at TacbeltsUK on IG does good way of the gun slings at a very reasonable price.)

So I notice that g&p have released an extended P-Mag for the MWS.... Has anyone managed to test one, and if so how does it compare to the other P-mags out there for consistency? https://shop.jkarmy.com/g-p-g-mag-long-ver-for-marui-tm-mws-gbbr-system-black-magazine-p-mag-style.html

Pretty much why I'm holding out for theirs over the archwick kit due out at some point.... Although all this talk of 416's has got me thinking now ???

I'm looking forward to this build... I'm still sitting here patiently waiting for their L119A2 MWS kit, but the Hao kits seem really well made ?

tbh the standard 250mm TM inner barrel is just as good as if not better than most of the aftermarket alternatives so it will always be a solid option.

so the two terms you've used are both colloquial terms for muzzle velocity or muzzle energy. and as @Davegolf has said a longer barrel increases this, but this is only half of what makes a difference particularly in gas guns. as far as increasing range goes though, that is significantly down to the hop unit/rubber itself and it's ability to consistently put enough hop on the BB in a controlled way, and that is what makes the mws a pretty special GBBR. there isn't another magical force that gives it extra range though.

if it's loosened up a little already then you're almost certainly right. it sounds like they have tightened the tolerance without thinking about the thickness of the paint on the mag... it's probably just one of those things at least that means you should have very good consistency due to a solid gas seal.

It sounds like the tolerance on the mag release where it it holds the mag in as a bit too tight... as to whether you want to sand it down a little is up to you. although I can't be sure without seeing it in person.

you won't regret it... don't even have to change anything if you don't want too...

my rs magpul ASAP sling plate fitted fine without any modification so I'd imagine that the QD would work just as well...

yep, they're great for some of the hard to get stuff and importing things with a bit less hassle. not the cheapest but reliable. they've also been responsible for getting things like the Angry Gun L119A2 rail into production.

at that point... the work had better be carried out by the TM masters where they have employed a thousand fairies to infuse extra magic into what is probably only an averagely performing Rif... ?

I am genuinely gob smacked at that.... I mean no offense but £800 for a cyma should make alarm bells start ringing across the nation.... ???

personally I've never bothered. I just top up my mags with a squirt nuprol 2.0 after the games finished just to keep the seals in good nick. (for some reason it's a fantastic maintenance gas ?) the lube free nature of the propane is also part of the reason I use it as it improves consistency/doesn't coat your hop rubber in silicon quite as badly.

I have one I use and it's definitely worth shimming if you want to use it at any range otherwise as you say it makes the point of aim a bit inconsistent. in the end I used the stock flash hider and had a shim 3D printed which makes the whole thing a lot more solid.

just added a few bits to my VFC MCX

nice, I completely missed that one!!! and now to do some googling...

so I notice angry gun uploaded some new bolt designs the other day... and I'm sat here wondering if the branded 416 bolt means they have more things in the works potentially? anyone have any thoughts or info on this?

I use the gun modify version on my A2 (possibly the same OEM?) they work well enough although the selector action is not as crisp as the original TM part. although the wiitech part does look better quality in the photos... I got mine from mle mart. https://www.mlemart.com/gun-modify-steel-cnc-ambi-selector-for-tokyo-marui-m4-mws-g-i-version/

hi @marine just look for any gas called propane or mapp gas. it doesn't matter what brand, although you will need something that you can get an adapter for. (mapp gas is typically used as a fuel source for brazing/silver soldering and therefore has the standard screw thread to fit on a blowtorch) pressure changes a bit with temperature, which is why it's kept as a liquid inside the can/magazine by pressurising the can and therefore the magazine. so I can't really help on that front unfortunately.

I use Coleman's gas in all my gbb rifles too... it seems to work well enough. ?

apologies @Wo1f I forgot to put the link in. it was just a small comment at the end of the article; "On the other hand, don’t expect this to be the end of their SCAR plans. HAO’s CEO also mentioned an MWS SCAR will follow the PTW.” https://www.google.com/amp/s/thereptilehouseblog.com/2019/12/11/hao-scar-ptw/amp/ so probably not soon, but possibly in the next few years.

the only place I could find that had any in-stock and did bulk was so I'm tactical in fleet. although their idea of bulk is 25 cans... alternatively you can just go through ebay. link for Socom Tactical on a slightly different topic, I have also noticed recently that Hao have confirmed they will be working on a MWS system Scar L which may be interesting if you like UGG boots... but a different take on the mws is always nice to see ?

I tend to run 6 (5 in the pc, 1 in the belt and one in the gun) however I will carry one in the rucksack for multi day events. if I'm expecting heavy contact for long periods of time I'm able to expand that to 12 (10 in the pc, 1 one the belt and 1 in the gun) but I've never felt the need to do that as that's a lot of mags and pretty heavy too ?
