I've had one for a bit. Skirmished 2 or 3 days with it and coming from hi caps I reload a lot. Its held out so far and it's night and day vs the plunger style

It's slightly different. Didn't think about it needing to be a harder material. Because of it making it thicker with the key it pulls down towards the back of the barrel so I might need to make it into a T instead of an I

I'll give it a go. Was fine with slightly warmer weather. Need to play with the hopup unit as it was curving left badly again. I suspect the I key shifted positions. The one sided tension arm isn't the best design. Can't find an aftermarket hop unit for it either

Haha it's looking like the way forward 🤣 at least I can sell some mags after to recoup some of the money this guns swallowing. Do you reckon running 3.0 will solve my issue for the moment?

Tried running nuprol 2.0 today and gun wouldn't cycle because it kept freezing up, rookie didn't take any other gas with me. Has anyone hpa tapped the mags and how? Asking because the plate at the bottom that holds the spring has a small hole where the fill valve is and don't know if it'll need modifying

I use the mws warmag from softair website. Pretty pricey but has worked so much better than the normal speed loaders. Fitted the I key and tnt bucking to the type 89 today. With some bending, filing and a touch of super glue it's shooting about 65 metres on .32s consistently. Its the furthest I can test it so we'll see how it tests next weekend. Thanks for the suggestion

If you were to supply it all and just send finished product what would you be looking at charging?

I'm also curious about this because let's be honest it's gonna happen anyway so why delay the inevitable He's not the best at keeping you updated but I ordered a couple weeks ago and it came within a couple days.

I'm unsure. I do know that the we one definitely isn't right. The teeth are too thick. I filed mine down slightly and it worked

Me! Me! I'll have to get on that street corner for a bit first though.

Going to order the maple leaf as well just so I can compare the two. There's so many choices, decepticon, autobot, super, monster. Which one should I get and what degree? 60?

Perfect. I'll get them ordered up cheers

Ok so these? Does the I key fit under the tensioner? Because you turn the dials on the side and it's pulls that arm down. Its easily over hopping .32s

So if anyone who has type 89 the super nub doesn't fit as it has no nub 🙄 Is there a solution to this? I'll try it with the tan bucking as the gun is already in bits and see if this will improve at all

That is impressive. Pure mag envy

I'm holding thumbs for you. I'm excited to see the end result

Bold move I like it. How will you bond it?

Hmm that is a real pity. If I do the mods to hop up hopefully it'll change my need for more ammo for now. Can't wait for AW forever so hopefully get an update in the near future

This is the reply from AW

Terrible video and doesn't look so smooth haha but from struggling and nearly breaking my thumb everytime I loaded to this is a vast improvement 20190111_204014.mp4

Right I understand. I'll get in touch with AW and see how long before we see a true mws fit from them

How will you convert it? Please keep me updated on this and if you find a solution I'll be your best friend for life haha Yeah that's it soft air. I'll get a vid sorted tomorrow of me loading. It takes literally a couple seconds. It's not the most rugged bit of kit so only time will tell.

Gutted. Was going to order one tomorrow. Is there another alternative? Or even a mid cap? Struggling with the 30 rounds mag at 42 quid a pop

Hey guys new here. I have a type 89 not the m4 but I'm pretty sure they're the same internals. Very little info or help with mods on the 89. Great advice so far and gonna invest in the nub and and modify bucking but not a barrel as it was shooting 345- 348 fps last weekend on nuprol green. For those of you struggling with loading your mags I've found a loader which arrived today. I was sceptical at first but wow they go in like butter. Only loaded 3 mags so not sure on how long it'll last but will use it on a skirmish day and see how it holds up. It's called a hurricane storm loader by warmag and I got it off a place in Italy. So if I understand with changing the nub and bucking at 345 fps on 0.2, I should be able to hop 0.36's and get like 70m range? Hang on this drum mag you're saying won't fit the mws?
