URGI update... Although I loved the all black look I really wanted to break up the lines of the rifle and do something a little different. Picking up inspiration from an FBI HRT rifle I got a few key parts Cerakoted in Olive Drab Green and I'm really happy with how it's turned out! This build is now complete and I'm itching to start the next! Maybe some green magpul's to complete the look!? 😂

One of my favourite things to do against ghillie/bolt action rifle users (only on skirmish days) Is on the rare occasion I know where the shot has come from or their hiding place isn't as good as they think... Just bloody run at them full tilt, using cover where possible and engage them when you can. You'll never see more panic on a snipers face when you've gone inside their minimum engagement distance and they haven't got a back up! 😂

In my opinion heating the mags is pointless... It doesn't take many shots combined with those low ambient temperatures to bring that mag resembling something like an ice pack! 😂

Mine was fit and forget! 😂 Sorry I can't add anything helpful... Not sure if it makes any difference or whether yours was exactly the same, but my G&P buffer came with a fairly dense black rubber end cap rather than the yellow one shown in many of the photos.

Fitted the HAO bcg yesterday, and had a good look at the inside of my buffer tube. Prior to fitment there was no witness marks on the inside of the tube that I could see and again after fitment and a couple of mags put through it for testing I couldn't see any obvious wear. Admittedly I was short on time as thus was carried out on my lunch break at work (boss is a fellow airsofter and I work in a workshop on a farm so all good!) So i haven't been able to test it thoroughly. On the face of it though all seems okay, although trying to get the upper plastic section that holds the nozzle with that spring was bloody tricky! 😂

Yeah man I can check on Monday when I get chance to fit the HAO BCG. I will check before and after fitment. 👍

Delivery today for me also @Wild Weasel Firstly a HAO Geissele BCG which is a very well machined piece of aluminium. The colour is lighter than the tan HAO use for their rails but it's close match to the shade used for the real Geissele BCG. Hoping to get it fitted on Monday and will report back. Secondly my Magpul M-Lok QD mount arrived for my SL-K stock, not very exciting but it's pretty much the final piece for my 9.3" URGI build! Next year I'm definitely picking up a second MWS with the plan to build a 14.5" rifle as I've really enjoyed working on this one!

Is it used to keep all the fan girls at bay, when they see you're rocking an MWS in the safe zone? Meaning you are indeed a fully paid up member of the GBBR master race!? 😂

I intend on using the TM nozzle and only have experience with that part. ATRG's review also uses the stock nozzle and he seemed impressed. https://atrg.blog/2020/10/19/accessory-review-hao-geissele-rebcg-ecoline-for-marui-zet-mws-gbbr/ Thats good to know mate, I will certainly check that out! My dbal-a2 is red laser, ir laser, and white light, all functions appear to be working correctly. I will put up my thoughts when the HAO bolt arrives and see how it gets on with the G&P buffer. 👍

Update on my URGI build... The genuine Magpul SL-K stock arrived from Brownells. Bought a clone Unity Tactical Mount, which although it looks pretty awkward having an optic mounted that high up IMO. However it works perfectly and having the optic mounted at this height is extremely comfortable! I also picked up a WADSN DBAL-A2 and a dual pressure switch to work alongside my M300 light. It's a snug fit but I managed to get everything on the rail where I wanted it. This DBAL-A2 is the polymer one which initially put me off, but it's much cheaper than the G&P version of which I've had two in the past and although they get rave reviews I was never that impressed with them. Secondly if I was that bothered with polymer over metal I'd never buy a TM pistol! 😂 Overall I'm really impressed with it and after putting quite a few bb's through the MWS zeroing the crossfire on it's new mounted, the DBAL-A2 seemed to gold its own zero. I will update this after a few games, but what with the new lockdown I doubt that will be for a while! After a recommendation from a mate I ordered a G&P aluminium buffer, this comes with three weights which you can add or remove as required. Again when I get chance I will record the various weights and compare them with the stock buffer. A couple of UAC sealing buffers to add to my spares list, currently trying to pick up a spare TM nozzle but looks like stock is zero everywhere! Lastly I've got a HAO Industries lightweight BCG on order after a very positive review from ATRG's blog. Will get that fitted with the G&P buffer and give my review also. Here's a few photo's, sorry for the crappy kitchen floor backdrop, it's howling outside and the best I could do on a Sunday morning!

Can't comment on the AA nozzle, but my TM one has a very good seal with plenty of resistance before it follows the BCG. Read recommendations from people to thread lock the adjusting screw on the AA nozzle as it has a habit of firing it down the barrel! 😂

I fitted one of these bud. http://www.wiitech.com.hk/product-detail.shtml?product_id=479&path=57_145 It's a clone of the Magpul design and I can confirm it was a direct fit with no other work needed. 👍

I personally use Geoff's 0.32g's And had no issues whatsoever with white or tracer bb's both regular and bio! 👍

Ah I totally agree with you there. I'm under no illusion that my Crye G3's offer me any better concealment than a set of surplus mtp! It all comes down to what we all personally want to get out of our hobby I guess. Agree with you also bud. Coming back to the whole hindsight thing my TM MK18 NGRS had all of its guts ripped out and replaced with the prommy back catalogue. Don't get me wrong it performed exceptionally, but was it worth it? And was the step up in performance that much higher than stock? No I personally don't think so, and I wouldn't do it again as I'm now a GBBR snob... However its the people that get their guns 'fully upgraded' without even using them stock that are the real mugs! Sorry for derailing this thread mods, I'll shut up now... 😊

That's fair enough, although there's plenty of 'wallys' playing airsoft regardless how much they've spent on their kit! 😂 Hindsight is wonderful thing, but I'm sure we've all been there and spent ex amount on something thinking that you've now managed to reinvent the wheel with your new 'upgrade' I've been playing long enough to know that an 'upgrade' isn't necessarily better than the stock part it replaces! Let people make these mistakes and hopefully they'll learn from it, even if they didn't have the common sense to research a little information on this forum! (People just want to be spoon fed these days and expect an immediate answer via Facebook) - but thats a rant for another time...

I don't see why people have a problem (not suggesting you have) with others spending their hard earned cash on their chosen hobby. Whether that's fitting lots of accessories onto a rifle or wearing crye, and everything that goes with it... It seems totally fine to shame/mock others for spending what certain people regard is 'too much money' However if I or any of the other 'crye,tm,ngrs,mws' users started ripping into somebody for their shitty budget aeg and viper gear, I'd be an arrogant bastard! It works both ways as far as I'm concerned. I couldn't care less how somebody enjoys their hobby. Whether its in a pair of jeans and a hoody with a cyma or fully decked out in crye and a das 416... Providing you take your hits and aren't a dick you're fine by me.

'TM users' You mean fellow airsofters that just use a different platform than yourself?

That's good to hear, thank you. I think I will pick up those two together and see how I fair. I'd imagine with both the AG carrier, and the high speed buffer there's barely any recoil!? Seems to be people on both sides of the fence when it comes to experience of this kit, but I'm willing to give it a go myself. I'd much rather have a separate complete carrier than start mucking about the the TM unit.

Anyone running an Angry Gun complete high speed bolt carrier with MPA nozzle? With lower ambient temperatures fast approaching I was wondering whether a lighter bolt carrier would help me with my intention of using my MWS in every season! Or is my money better spent elsewhere? Any help/advice would be appreciated. 👍

Thanks bud! You should be excited, and I honestly think you'll be extremely happy with your purchase. It's tricky to compare it AEG's and providing you change your mindset/playstyle with the MWS you won't be disappointed.

Here's an update on how my URGI build currently stands. TM MWS CQBR - Base HAO Industries MK16 Rail Z-Parts URGI-1 Airborne Charging Handle Z-Parts Daniel Defence 10.3" Outer Barrel Magpul K2 Pistol Grip Magpul ASAP QD Rear Sling Plate Magpul M-Lok Hand Stop Magpul Magazine Pulls Magpul Clone MOE SL-K Stock (waiting for genuine to restock) HAO Industries Geissele T1 mount Vortex Optics Crossfire Surefire Clone M300B Weapon Light Arisaka Clone M-Lok Weapon Light Mount Wiitech Trigger Guard Ergo Gapper Angry Gun 4 Prong Surefire Flash Hider Angry Gun Surefire Suppressor Angry Gun Maritime Bolt Stop PTS Griffin Armament BUIS Ferro Concepts Slingster - Multicam Black Ferro Concepts QD Sling Swivels TacbeltsUK Suppressor cover - Multicam Black SixG Brass Hop Nub It is without a doubt the best gun I have ever had the pleasure of owning and I now have no interest in anything other than GBBR's 😂 Performance is incredible, and other than the brass nub i have no intentions of changing any other internal parts. On a rather warm day a couple of weeks ago it chrono'd at around 260fps using 0.32g and Abbey Predator Ultra gas, which is fairly close to the limit so I'm glad I didn't go for a tight bore inner barrel! Apart from sourcing a Genuine Magpul Stock, Unity Tactical Mount and maybe an IR laser / torch I really don't think it needs anything else other than feeding with gas and bb's! Would genuinely consider buying another M4 MWS in the future to build a longer rifle or maybe wait out and see how TM's AKM MWS gets on, who knows!? Although I do keep looking at GHK 553's... Anyway heres a few photos of my URGI!

Another great day yesterday out with my MWS URGI at Gloucester prison. Two mag related issues however... Firstly a mag developed a fault where the bb follower/spring became caught internally and wouldn't allow the bb's to sit against the feed lips under pressure. It's the second time this has happened to me, unsure whether it's the same mag but will insure to number them discreetly to monitor. Fairly easy to fix but I wasn't sure whether anyone else has had this issue? Second fault was just me being an absolute donkey! On the way back into the safe zone, unloading the mag it slipped out of my hand and promptly hit concrete feed lips first shattering themselves completely and sending bb's everywhere! A quick order via impulse 101 and I have a few spares on their way to get that mag operational!

Is the Laylax barrel, deemed a good combination with a TM hob rubber, and the SixG brass nub? Looking to just increase the fps a little from the 250mm barrel!
