Just ordered up a couple of new pistol pouches, that ones I had just weren't doing the job. Great purchase @rocketdogbert I'm somewhat jealous I must admit, haha. @Lasbrisas17 where did you get the custom lens from? I've got a couple of flashlights which could do with inserts.

@Druid799 If only there was a feature where you could set a minimum you're willing to accept on an eBay auction...

Just a quick one, which hop rubbers and barrels are considered best for TM pistols as an upgrade over the stock configuration? Specifically the 1911 Series '70.

So far I'm absolutely loving my MWS. I was originally intending to develop it into a Block 1 but due to difficulty obtaining some of the bits I've since abandoned this. I've picked up a few bits for it so far, mostly external, and I have a stock on order but it's going to be a few weeks before it turns up. The replacement trigger guard I ordered doesn't fit as it is, hopefully I'll be able to get it mounted after some modification. I've swapped the grip out to a Hogue grip and it feels a hell of a let better and more natural than the stock grip (I found that the protrusion made it uncomfortable). I'll get a couple of photo's up around the weekend once I get a bit of time.

Perhaps a bit of a random question but what is the diameter of your head? I've been looking for a MICH/ACH but unfortunately I've got a bit of a big noggin.

Replacement grip, trigger guard, charging handle, flash hider, suppressor and stock ordered. The stock is unfortunately going to be a while before making an appearance but getting there slowly. I'm still undecided on whether or not I want to pick up a B.A.D. Lever but I know I wouldn't mind finding a different bolt release. I'm also debating grabbing some mag assists and a coupler for some of my magazines but this is relatively low priority. All in all I must admit that I love some of the builds in this thread, there's a great bit of variety and the wealth of information is absolutely invaluable.

Picked up a Nuprol hard case and ordered a replacement grip for my MWS. I'm currently deciding on a couple extra parts but need to chase up the replacement stock first.

@ImTriggerHappy meh, you approached the advertiser and attempted to highlight the fact that he may wish to reassess the value. You can't do anymore than you have done and at the end of the day some people will inevitably react in a negative manner when faced with criticism or news that's something isn't worth as much they think it is. End of the day it's a case of best if luck to them. I know I wouldn't pay that sort of money for it and I doubt there are many who would.

@RoninHun cheers. Just looking at goodies at the moment and that had caught my eye. Would you say it makes much of a difference?

Does anyone know if the genuine Magpul (think it's Magpul) B.A.D. Lever fits the MWS? Or would I be better off just grabbing the Laylax (which seems to be a little more expensive for some reason)?

Blackhawk Omnivore Considering you can get this brand new from Tactical-Kit for £65 (along with any applicable warranty support) I think the seller is being rather optimistic with their valuation. It's unfortunate that they've ordered the wrong thing in error but I just can't see it going for this much, especially with P&P thrown on top. Perhaps it's just me.

Just picked up a Ferro Concepts Slingster. I'm just trying to track down a stock at the moment but it appears as though it's in high demand.

@GearTech Out of curiosity what's your inspiration? It looks incredible and to be honest it reminds me a bit of some of the uniforms and kit used in Terminator Salvation. Keep up the excellent work! @Lasbrisas17 Good work, I must admit I wouldn't mind a MICH myself but unfortunately my big fat head won't fit airsoft ones 🤣

To be honest this is how I load my mag's. I've got a speed loader with adapter but I've found that the easiest and quickest way of loading is still to use the loader it comes with. I've found speedloaders to be a pain in the arse to be honest. I am curious to hear how that Hurricane loader holds up though. edit: I must admit, I'm still attempting to find somewhere which has the stock I'm after available. Presently waiting for some email responses but I guess I'll just have to be patient for now.

Has anyone encountered a brand of aftermarket parts entitled "OMG"? It's a brand I noticed on J.K.Army while browsing for aftermarket parts and I was curious if anyone knew what they were like quality wise.

@_FIL_ If there's a leak I'd have thought that would hear it. To be honest my GBB experience is mostly with pistols. My thought on the overfilling was only if you had carried out the green gas mod, this wouldn't really apply to the stock magazines. @Wo1f is the resident guru for all things MWS but there are also various others around who might be able to be of more help.

@_FIL_ I was thinking of your mag's in relation to possible leaks. I can't comment on that particular Green Gas as it's not one I've ever heard of, let alone encountered. The actual capacity of the MWS magazines is pretty good out of the box and it'll take more than you realise, I'd suggest avoiding the Green Gas mod until you're used to how much they take as overfilling can generate issues (at least from what Badabing communicated to me). I think it's discussed earlier in the thread about how much to fill the mag's with (or I could be thinking of a video), it might be worth having a look through the earlier pages of this thread. I realise that we're up to 44 pages and growing but there is a lot of useful information amidst the general conversation/discussion.

@_FIL_ I was using my MWS on Saturday (stock, approx 14°c) with Nuprol 2.0 without issue. I'm not sure if this will help as a point of reference. Which gas are/were you using? Have you check for gas leaks?

MWS Mag's back on stock at Fire-support for £44 a piece. Get them while they're hot!

@AK47frizzle the price for the outer barrel, thread protector and suppressor isn't as outlandish as you may think. Good quality outer barrels for pistols can easily exceed £25 (rifles can easily cost at least twice this) and a high quality suppressor (TM or better) can cost a significant wad of cash. Clumpy also highlighted a very valid point in relation to the likelihood of these parts being replaced.

@AK47frizzle apologies but I believe you're missing the point which @E21A is making. While you may have added to the pistol with a variety of, arguably minor, upgrades you've taken away the key features of the HK45 Tactical. By taking away the threaded barrel and suppressor you're essentially peddling a standard HK45 and while you may have paid £170 from Wolf, the reality is that the average retail price is less than this for the HK45 Tac (let alone the normal HK45). As an additional note to the above the average magazine price tends to be around £25.00. The parts which you have removed would cost a new buyer approximately £100 to replace, assuming they wanted to return it to being a tactical. I'd recommend adjusting your price to consider the pistol as a standard TM HK45 which typically retails for approximately £140. I understand that it's frustrating having an advert challenged and criticised but this in no means a personal attack against yourself.

@E21A - You're correct, these can be had for around £160 brand new. I've had a look at his advert and I've no idea where he's purchasing his stuff from but if you want to replace the missing parts with original Tokyo Marui parts (if you can find them in stock) you could easily be looking at costs in excess of £99.95 + P&P, this is based off the prices over at Eagle6. Admittedly the seller is gracious enough to offer the suppressor for an additional fee of £10. I relation to the ambiguous magazine count, this is something I'd confirm in writing, but I believe that the seller is considering the HK45 as including the original magazine with an additional magazine, hence the " + 1 mag". To me the value drops once you start to strip away core features a product came with.

@Marauder211 which company is that from? Talk about presentation! I'd be interested in hearing more about it once you've had chance to put it through its paces.

Just ordered a Streamlight TLR-1 HL for my pistols, perhaps a tad overkill when I could have gone with the clone Surefire X300 but I've been a bit spoilt by the genuine Surefire on my MP5. Fortunately the price I got it for offset my insanity... slightly... On a side note, does anyone know of something to protect the lens?
