I love the Japanese - English translations they have on the bottom left of the display.
 
“The gun maker carrying out extreme sensitivity” 
 
WTF does that mean?? 😂😂😂
 
looks cool though!!

Phase 1 of my Troy M7A1 PDW build. 

AKM mws anyone?

Well I have a nice project to work on!!
 
A while ago I bought the front end of the Angry Gun John Wick conversion for the TM MWS off a forum member  that had bought the full set to replace his upper that he broke. I had every intention of buying another TM MWS to build it into a DMR but never got round to it. Well about a week ago, I received an email from him stating he was giving up Airsoft and did I want to buy the rest of the JW kit plus the donor MWS. Well I jumped at the chance. For the same price of a new MWS I got an unused MWS, the John Wick/Tarran Tactical kit, Prometheus Barrel, TM Tracer Unit plus extras such as SixG Nub, Modify Tan bucking, tools etc.
 
I am going to build it into a DMR that mirrors the Tarran Tactical TR1. As can be seen it is essentially in kit form so I will be l learning a lot more about the inner workings of the MWS in intimate detail!! At least I have my other MWS to use as a reference 😳

A bit of duct tape and you will have that looking solid in no time!!

Tried to buy a nice looking TM Hicapa 5.1 in the classifieds, missed it.
Bought a JW3 Taran tactical Yadda Yadda longest named pistol on the planet, sent it back for being shite.
Tried to buy a TM Gold Match Hicapa in the classifieds, missed out again
Bought a TM Hicapa 5.1, finally!
Going to run it bog standard on green gas till one of us breaks.
 
 
 

Ok, I am back in the game! Guess I can't be helped...I am looking into making either a GHK M4 / MWS into a RIS II FSP or building something with a Geissele Mk8 rail, just for plinking though. Took me about two days before I started missing the stuff haha ✈️(that's the plane taking off with my money, destination Taiwan and Hong Kong).

Well I have a nice project to work on!!

Okay, here i go....
 
For those of you not wanting to read this wall of text, there is only one modification that i feel like the platform needs, regardless of what you want out of a gun and that is the Green Gas Mod. It allows the rifle to get 2.5 - 4 mags per gas fill, which makes the system extremely practical for skirmishes. Last Saturday i played a woodland game with a completely standard, box fresh MWS (internally.. it had a fancy rail) and the only time i re-gassed my 5 mags was at dinner time. This consists of removing the magazine baseplate, held on by two hex keys, being very careful not to shoot the follower spring and the little plastic retainer across your room. From there you remove the valve with either a proper valve tool or a small screwdriver if you're careful. You'll be met with a brass valve with a long zinc tube. At first people removed these, but i don't for two reasons.. One because its a gigantic pain in the ass and two because I've found cutting them to be the best compromise between gas efficiency and shot consistency. If you look inside the tube you'll see the brass valve. You want to cut the tube so that its level with (within 5mm or so) the brass. With the mod done, reassemble, remembering to swear profusely at the spring that doesn't want to stay in the hole. All mods after this are not needed but can enhance aspects of performance. I would however suggest you run the gun on propane. It works better than green gas, it's cheaper and it doesn't coat your bucking in silicone oil after a while. Avoid ASG ultrair like the plague. It's 10% butane content increases cooldown and lessens gas efficiency. 
 
Hop nub
The mod i recommend next when people ask for more range and accuracy is to increase the BB weight. Heavier BB's retain their energy for longer periods and are less effected by wind, but the MWS struggles to hop much more than a .28-30 max. This is due to the hollow rubber hop nub, which compresses substantially towards the end of the hop travel. There are multiple options to fix this, from filling the original nub, to a cut up biro pen, to the million 'upgrade' nubs that litter the airsoft market. Personally i find the SixG brass super nub to be the best nub for conventional mound buckings. It's machined specifically for the MWS chamber, so it's about as perfect of a design as you can get. This will allow you to hop virtually any BB weight. If you don't plan on using BB's above a .28, don't bother with any mods other than the green gas mod, as you'll gain very little.
 
Outside of the conventional size nubs, there are elongated ones that are designed for R hops or maple leaf/ TNT/ Flamingo buckings. This is where things can get a little technical.. A lot of the large hop up nubs like the prometheus bridge for example  wont fit inside the chamber and index with the hop arm. To fix this problem you have two options.. Cut the nub shorter to fit in the hole, or the ideal solution is to extend the chamber window a few MM towards the front. I've done this on multiple builds with good success. As a side note, the prometheus MWS chamber should be the best option for these longer nubs because it applies pressure vertically almost like a TDC. I have not used this chamber though so it's merely speculation.
 
Hop Buckings
The standard TM bucking really is all you'll ever need for 99% of builds. It's soft enough to get a great seal on the nozzle and hop the BB under cold GBBR temps. The only other standard mound style bucking i would recommend is the Modify Tan. I discovered them years ago and they've been put into about 7 of my GBBR builds from mws', WE G36's and a VFC SR-25. They are probably the cleanest moulded hop rubber I've ever seen and they have a narrower side locking tab than something like the blocky maple leaf one which can cause Issues that I'll get on later in the barrel section. I have heard of people having wear issues with them, but I've personally never experienced this. 
 
Large contact patch buckings or 'drop in R hops'  like maple leaf, TNT, Flamingo or the new modify stuff have the advantage of a larger surface area to apply hop to the BB. This is good for two reasons. One because it needs less downward pressure to apply the same level of hop, meaning you're not being robbed of FPS or blocking the barrel in extreme cases, and two because it gives a more repeatable hop effect BB after BB. The drawback of this is not all barrels are compatible. Small window barrels like the PDI are not compatible with these buckings. I currently have the flamingo bucking in my MK12 Mod0 DMR and it's performing very nicely using .43's (400 fps on a .20). A build for a friend is running a TNT TR hop at 340fps and is performing really well too. Maple leaf buckings I have tried with mixed results. They perform amazingly in MK23's and a multitude of gbb pistols and WE gbbr's, but i ran into an issue with the mws. It started off really well, but performance started to drop and on inspection the tip of the contact patch was being damaged by the lip of the barrel window. This may not be a problem with some barrels like the crazy jet, but i moved on to other buckings. One thing these bucking's tend to have is a Degree rating (50,60,70,75,80). Due to the cold running of GBBR's I'd highly recommend you use a 50 bucking for 280-375 fps and a 60 for anything above 375. 
 
Inner Barrel
Stock inner barrel on the mws, CQBR and MTR is a 250mm, brass barrel that performs very well from the box. You will gain very little by changing the barrel in terms of accuracy, but you can get a nice bump in FPS by either increasing the length or decreasing the bore diameter. As a lot of batches of MWS differ when it comes to stock fps, it's very hard to say "X barrel boosts your fps by X fps". If you stick to a well known barrel you should be golden. If you want to stay at 250mm I would probably recommend a crazy jet or a TNT. For longer barrels you've got 370mm Prometheus barrels in 6.03 and 6.00, crazyjet and TNT. I've never used one in an MWS, but i found the 6.01 stainless RA-tech barrels to be really good in gbbrs. All will serve you well, so i would choose the one that will get you closest to your desired FPS limit.
 
 
DMR's
For specialist roles like designated marksman, the MWS really shines. It's already great range can be improved upon much more simply than an AEG. Nothing in the lower needs to be changed unless the stock trigger pull bothers you. Once you've decided on a max FPS or Joule depending on how your site works, you can now begin the build. Your absolute cheapest option is semi auto conversion (free), 370-420mm barrel depending on your desired fps and an upgrade/modded hop nub. A 370-410 should get you in the area of 400 fps with a 6.03-5 barrel. If you're looking for 450 fps and above, then a 6.01 or even 6.00 at 410mm+ will get you closer. Just bare in mind GBBR's run dirtier, so good quality BB's (I only ever run Geoffs) and regular cleaning is paramount. Heavy BB's are essential for DMR's! Absolute minimum of .32 to get any real range benefit. Personally i prefer .36-.46 depending on my dmr setup. It's hard to advise exactly because everyone want's different BB trajectory characteristics or 'flight times'. 
 
 
If i think of anything else or anyone has any specific questions I'll edit the post and add it in. Once i feel like it answer's everything, I'll try and move it to the very first post. 

I will compile a summary post of everything I’ve tried so far and the pro’s and cons tonight if anyone is interested. That should save people 85+ pages of reading as a lot of things have changed. 

Mine didn’t come with a bow!? I got ripped the fuck off. 🤬😤😤😡

Faggot

I have absolutely no need at all for another RIF however it takes a huge amount of self control to not need another...

I’ve always thought the “they all do the same thing” argument a rather puerile and pointless one my self .
Yes they all do the same job too some extent but if that’s the case then why don’t we just all use something that looks like a rental paintball gun you all know the type , a rudimentary pistol grip/trigger and barrel with a hopper on top for the BBs that doesn’t actually look like any kind of real gun but does the job very effectively then ? Because we WANT it to look like this gun or that gun that’s why and if someone is going to use the equally childish argument of “it’s just adult dress up cowboys and Indians” to defend there more often than not nasty attitude to the person or persons there arguing with (more often than not simply because they can’t actually counter the other persons opinion with an intelligent reply) then again the same question equally applies to the kit most of us wear ? Some players just wear normal clothes and use the most basic of guns or have a gun that’s been worked on to within an inch of it imploding due to it being wound that tight so it’ll fire a gazillion rounds a sec and a trigger that’s so sensitive it’ll fire from the wind produced as a butterfly flies passed it ! and all they want is to zip round a site shooting as many players as they can where as most others do dress up and try to follow game plans and mission briefs and use it as an escape from reality for a few hrs once or twice a mth , but is there anything wrong with that ? I don’t think so , play with what ever you want and dress how ever you want just don’t be a cock about it and don’t expect the majority to change for the minority .

Exactly, none of us need more than 2 guns & a pistol , but the truth is some of us have got armories that would  make the marine corps jealous, totally unnecessary but that's airsoft for ya, big boys toys, but keeps us out of trouble lol.

It's a decent idea and I'm not opposed in principle.
 
In practice though, how many folk are there in the UK who would describe themselves as professional airsoft techs?  A few dozen?  And how many of those have an engineering qualification or time served?
 
Then, how many customers would value a bit of paper over a low price, or a good recommendation?  I mean, how many people even check (or know to check) that their chosen sparky is NICEIC registered, or equivalent?
 
I guess there's only one way to find out.  What's @Seth_Erebor up to at the moment?
 

I have an ASG CZ SP-01 Shadow and it rocks! Always getting man handled by other Airsofters admiring. The Pistol that is is, not me 😨. Also was playing at the Prison down in Portsmouth and there were 3 guys there with them. Maybe Combat South are the only guys who have sold them??
 
Unless you are talking about the Shadow 2 but I haven't even seen one of those in a shop.

Did he nearly died?
 

it'l be covered in white when it arrives at the weebs house. 
 
I hope it's using the G2 gearbox need more stop on empty guns.  
 
I think most sites will ban it because of the "blade" trigger so seems a bit pointless.
