  1. My secondhand MWS had a very hard life and there was a load of gritty mud in the trigger box that had caused a lot of wear and nasty feel. I have replaced all the parts in the trigger box with the WiiTech parts and spring set. They are really high quality and nice finish, well worth the money. I tried the marksman sear but got light strikes with the safety ON followed by another light strike after I took it off and pulled the trigger again! I tried it with both the TM and WiiTech parts - same result. GET THE REGULAR SEAR! For lubrication get a small aerosol can of Graphite lock lube (less than £10 on Amazon or Ebay) and use that. Apply to the parts as you assemble the trigger box then wipe the gun down after…and don’t wear a white t-shirt! It is messy to apply and you will need to wash your hands about 8 times but it is very low friction and won’t attract dirt and gum up the action. I have had zero issues with trigger reset or bolt locking back since using it.
  2. Ok, it’s official, the TM MWS has ruined AEGs for me! Had a great day at UCAP VENDETTA running my MWS with Spitfire tracer and Vortex red dot. 2 spare mags and a 90rd speed loader for “walk back to respawn top-ups” saw me through a couple of games easy with ASG Ultrair gas and Longbow tracer 0.30g BBs. I switched to my heavily customised Cyma MP5 for exactly one game…feel was “off” and zero feedback on taking a shot. Accuracy was ok for CQB but not on the long open stretches outside. Seemed to burn through ammo to try and compensate. I’ll keep it for really close in stuff like StrikeForce and Bristol Courthouse. Went back to the MWS and even got a guy 45m away hiding behind a trailer, only his feet and lower shins showing 😁 We won’t mention the shot from 5m back, through a 10cm hole in a door into the marshals crotch 🥺 TBF there was a blue hiding behind it and taunting us!
  3. My two big ones are cut out processed carbs (white bread, pasta, rice…) and switch to low/no alcohol beer (BrewDog Nanny State or Punk AF, BigDropBrewing Galaxy Milk Stout are all great!) to save a bunch of calories but still taste great. Doing some short jogs and cycling to work a few days a week certainly adds up and burns off more and I certainly feel better mentally for it. Jogging with a set of weighted plates ups the burn and good practice for running a GBBR with 6 mags!
  4. Sounds like a marshalling fail, not something you should punish paying customers for 🙄
  5. Added some Velcro OneWrap to strap ends to keep them tidy and elastic with a 500d cordura cover to the chest rig waist belt to allow some breathing room…definitely not because I like pies 🥧
  6. I would look at using some electrical wire of a suitable size to make a hard stop in the hop wheel so at least you can dig it out and replace if needed 🙂Silicone covered wire of a suitable diameter should press in nicely and hold. Before getting to that stage I would try putting a drop of water base paint on the exposed part of the hop dial and cycling the gun while it is still wet. Then stop and take out the bolt and see if there is any transfer. It has to be something either pressing on the wheel or vibrating it round and I am not sure that such a small, light part could be moved by such low frequency vibrations as the bolt cycling. Let us know how you get on!
  7. Rifles with pistol caliber mags just look like those guys in the gym who always skip leg day 😂 I would add H&K MP7 - both the real and TM versions are great but they are so un-ergonomic to hold…and that is before people start adding a red dot….and a PEQ….and a torch….then badly Krylon the whole abortion
  8. Top tip from the weekend playing CQB at Gloucester prison - take a pistol sized speedloader full of BBs out with you and you have effectively doubled the number of mags you have for only a few grams extra! Easy to top up the mags on the walk to the respawn TBH one in the gun and two spare on the chest rig would have been plenty. It is amazing how far 35rds can go when you make each one count. I keep hearing about extra maintenance that GBBRs take. I timed my post game clean up (ignoring cleaning the barrel as AEGs need that too) and it was about 7mins. Much less faff than storage charging LiPos then recharging before the game!
  9. Zero mods for the Magpul front end...drops straight on! Guess the Cyma must be 1:1 size on that at least! Front sight mod below - 1mm x 6mm tritium vial from a fishing shop online. Simply clean the front post with alcohol wipe then very carefully super glue the vial on 😁
  10. Cyma CM041 HighSpeed finally finished (are they really ever finished?!) Short stroked 3teeth, new air nozzle, ML rubber and nub. Gate MERF mosfet in the stock along with a HUGE 7.4v nunchuck battery...and space left over!) Genuine MAGPUL fore end with TM grip and Olight Valkyrie torch. Vortex Crossfire red dot and a tritium vial on the front sight post for dark CQB / back up sights. Obligatory Spitfire tracer unit with Airtac blastwarden outer cover and Ferro Concepts single point slingster (as H&K hate left handed people!)
  11. This is a job for TheSlowMoGuys... <laughs as the entire forum now spends their day watching the cool videos on their Youtube channel >
  12. Just tested mine on ASG Ultrair and 0.32g BBs and the stock TM bolt and nozzle kit. Shed has been warm today so all at about 23-25deg. Running a bit hot at 295fps with stock TM parts (should be a limit of 276fps!) DP lightweight bolt and nozzle / valve combo was doing similar FPS. Swapped out to AG v2 nozzle (still the TM bolt) and got it shooting a nice consistent 262fps ish even with a fresh warm mag and gas. Plenty of option to dial up or down if needed. Zeroed in the new Vortex Crossfire2 red dot with Unity clone mount as the old one is now living on the MP5 AEG (Blasphemy!) Although I had forgotten how much fun a GBBR was...probably run it on the 20th at UCAP VENDETTA.
  13. *tries to order a triglide buckle from the US* ITAR CONTROLLED! THE RED COATS WILL INVADE IF WE SHIP THESE OVERSEAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  14. Just when you think you have made something idiot-proof nature invents a better idiot. 15 years working with the general public I can confirm that they are, by and large, cretins!
  15. Brownells are taking their sweet time to deliver my Magpul MP5 fore end :(

      Brownells have a bad habit of saying things are in stock & when you order it actually goes into a backorder, without them telling you.....

      Suffice to say this is the last time I am ordering from them. I spent 15 years in retail and would have torn a strip off any member of staff pulling this on my customers.

      Pure drop-ship operation and they do not care about airsofters; which isn't actually a ding on them imho.  The issue is they're not clear about who they are when you go on the site, you're just expected to know, which people of course don't.  But you'll not get 99% of the stuff they offer any other way, if you don't like long silent waits, don't go to them.  Not a conventional business.

  16. "Silent fill o-rings" are the ones you pop in to stop the air venting as you fill the mag. TM mags are meant to vent air as the liquid gas fills up, this allows them to hold more gas and work more efficiently. With gas mags you should always fill for 1 second then stop, remove the nozzle, wait 4-5 seconds then fill for 1s again. Keep doing this until the mag is venting Propane from the fill valve (not just air) If it is second hand I would spend some time taking the valves out (fill and knocker), giving it all a good clean and checking the o-rings for wear / deformation. Re-assemble with quality thick Silicone oil and try again.
  17. Handily I can't post on that group as they have refused to let me join. He doesn't say *what* is jamming? The bolt? The valve/NPAS? Silver RATech will jam in a TM nozzle and needs sanding to move smoothly. A quick and cheap option for him to try is to glue a 0.1mm gear box shim to the back of the TM valve. That will close the gap the gas flows through a tad and will drop the FPS. A bit trial and error but worth a shot!
  18. I would have thought that the valves for longer barrels would let through LESS gas to avoid massive joule creep? I could be wrong and it wouldn't be the first time! Maybe we need to club together to buy the low, mid and high and test them out on our set ups and pass them round to get a ground truth for them?
  19. I can confirm that the Hao one DOESN'T need filing to fit It is also worth every penny, how they make something so well. at that price is amazing.
  20. I found the stop gave lower FPS (260fps?) on the "high" setting than the stock TM one. Mid and Low were noticeably less (220fps and 150fps IIRC?) This was with 0.30g BBs and a 255mm barrel I took 0.1mm off the prongs on the front and it raised the FPS quite a bit (+30 to +50fps depending on setting) so only a small change in position makes a HUGE difference in the output of the gun.
  21. Hey, it was the adjustable valve STOP, not the adjustable valve. The stop is the part on the end nozzle spring that has the thin screw go through it and hold it in place. There are 3 holes drilled in it at different points round the circumference and they hold the stop at different depths. The little pin tool is there to align it before putting the screw in.
  22. "Total beast" - will have you swearing at it in the first game "Fully upgraded" - ...and I had these bits left over 🤪 "L119A2" - picture is of H&K 416.... "Video of it working available" - see what you could have won... (example here:
  23. Might do, the bolt might be moving too fast for the catch to stop it, backing the buffer out 1 turn might be enough to do it. TBH you have tried everything else!
  24. Probably because of a light strike on the gas valve due to the pressure in the mag. Once the pressure drops a little the valve knocker can open the valve fully = higher FPS. +1 for Geoffs No issues with 0.32g in CQB, it is still the same energy as a 0.20g moving a lot faster 🤷‍♂️
  25. Might be worth speaking to your local airsoft store and seeing if next time they are putting an order in they can get a box for you and if they can do a bulk deal (as it will be in-and-out and not sitting on the shelf for weeks or months!)
