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. 👍
AG fit and finish seems variable (I am being nice about this)
At a minimum swap the piston head (AG one swells and jams up!) and put a dab of super glue on the end of the valve grub screw so if it does unscrew you won't accidentally fire t at someone! Mine has never lost adjustment...YMMV.
I would go for the Dynamic Precision bolt and either the TM or DP internals (DP have better springs in the nozzle, probably easier to buy it as a whole kit)

On a bb loading note, I’ve just got a Marui XL speed loader come in today. It’s still kinda tough loading the mags. That spring is one tough mother that’s for sure. Is that what people are generally using to load their mags?
Yep, I have a TM M4 and pistol speed loaders and they fill the mags fine, you just get huge thumb muscles 👍🤣

I suddenly thought ain't that a bit dangerous running around with propane filled mags? Then again all airsoft gases are similar I expect.. It's not as if you're gonna chuck a mag into a bonfire now are we?
So how many mags do people actually run around with? I have 5 in total now. Bagged 4 from FS this week... Is that enough? I accept the MWS mindset is a different playing style which will need adapting to so potentially mag bb and gas refills during a game (something which I'd normally do during a return to the safe zone)...
I have 6 but rarely run them all. In CQB type games I can use 2 - 2.5 in all. I often change mags in a lull in the fighting before they are empty just so I don't get caught out.
Woodland games are a bit different, especially on windy days but if you know the limits of the platform it isn't too bad.
If you are sensible and only shoot at what you can see / hit 35rds goes a long way.

My favourite sentence to do with data analysis is “the stats don’t lie”
as an undergraduate studying stats I don’t think I have ever seen a better system making lies and falsehoods seem true.
im with Churchill on this
“the only statistics you can trust are the one’s you have falsified yourself”
As someone employed to analyse data and draw conclusions some of the "science" and "evidence" being banded about makes my teeth itch!
Things need to change, infection rates need to come down but please don't skew the data as no one will believe you next time...
For some more positive news have a listen to "Life Scientific" on the BBC Radio player and the vaccine in testing at Oxford 😁

I had a great day yesterday in CQB, big site but small teams so could do sneaky looping back manoeuvres and get the kills in. Managed to shoot through a 4" hole in a door and get a guy in the leg...while I was 7m behind the door, that'll teach him to try and sneak in the back! 😁
By the last game people were pretty knackered with all the stairs and such but spirits and game play were still top and fair on both sides.
Reminded me why I took up this silly sport 👍 Although my MWS was great, carrying 6 GBBR mags (plus all my other gear) was a silly idea!

Just taken out the buffer spring and weight to check the buffer cap screw and add some blue LocTite to it and noticed the end cap that it holds on has a small locator hole on the underside.
This looks designed to take some of the stress off the end cap and spread it through the buffer tube stock rail part.
No pin or screw fitted (on my 2nd hand MWS) and the Eagle6 tear down video doesn't show it. Maybe a feature TM never used? Because on duster gas it wasn't an issue?
I have tried a few screws I have kicking about but nothing that fits. Maybe a future product for SixG Gunsmithing?

Probably need to know a bit more! Front or rear wired? Tamia or Deans? Do they have a MOSFET fitted? Size of battery compartment, etc...

Have to got a detail pic of where to add plastic or a video please
Dane
In the thread on this very site! I simply pushed out the trigger pin and removed the trigger and glued on 1mm thick square of plastic to the face where the silver bar contacts it.

I'm after a 120 to 150% recoil spring heard it stops the dead trigger to an extent.
Cheers Dane
Dead trigger is usually fixed by adding a thin bit of plastic to the active trigger face.
If the bolt isn't going fully forward into battery try polishing the bolt and the inner case then using a quality light lube.

Anyone know where the magazines are in stock cant seem to find any?
Don't fancy taking it out for the first time with 2 mags.
Take a full speedloader and small can of green gas out on the field with you 👍

If anyone is familiar with it (I am but I CBA doing the legwork) there is a very helpful little application available with Kali Linux called Maltego, it may even be on Windows too. What this will allow you to do is feed it an email address and it will recursively search the whole internet for connections to that email address/Facebook profile etc etc. May prove useful for someone.......
I have been known to dabble in Kali Linux and Maltego from time to time....purely as a hobby and within the law. If you get stuck drop me a DM.
EDIT: Holy thread necromancy! Didn't spot that this was a year ago, I blame the fine IPA I have just finished. Offer stands though.

Sorry if it's been troubleshot before but has anyone had their MWS trigger turn two-stage? It doesn't happen every time, but after the initial take up, if the trigger isn't pulled straight to the rear it almost slips a centimeter or two before reaching another wall. It doesn't happen consistently which is the main problem, as sometimes the trigger breaks normally and sometimes I get the false break and new wall which throws me off. Seems like a weak spring or a bad contact patch between something in the trigger box, any help would be appreciated before I open it up, cheers.
EDIT
Added a video to better demonstrate the problem; the first trigger pull is normal, then the second one I thought was going to be two-stage but almost slipped through with the full trigger pull, and the third stuck very firmly on the second stage.
Probably due to play and uneven / offset spring tension causing binding. It is a really weird trigger set up that has lots of places for friction and uneven loading
My fix for this was to strip and clean the trigger parts, note where they were burnished and sand them with fine grit wet&dry then rebuild with 0.1mm shims to remove as much play as possible while not causing it to bind. Takes a while to do but much smoother and consistent now.
One thing to check is that you are not getting a light strike...The valve knocker isn't moving with the first stage?

I have been playing over 3 years and got a TM MWS second hand last year...I wish I had skipped all the AEGs I had owned and just gone for that first of all! Would have saved loads of time, money and faffing about with batteries, motors and incompatible mags!
Get a TM MWS, 3 spare mags and a TM speedloader. Job. Done.

Can someone please advise me where the best price would be currently for the Tokyo Marui M4A1 MWS - within UK and Europe,
Thanks!
Probably best to Google that one! Prices in the UK, when they have stock, all seem to be about the same.
-
MWS for sale on here!
(Not mine)

Right, grab a cuppa as this is a long one with charts and graphs!
So, having found that my current MWS set up was less than consistent on FPS I decided to play about with the parts I had to find the best (ie most consistent) set up available.
Quick Notes:
RA Black NPAS - Lose fit in TM nozzle, very lose fit in Angry Gun nozzle (probable source of inconsistency) Requires safety-pin to stop it rotating while using special tool to wind in or out. Hard to see in nozzle when adjusting.
Angry Gun adjustable valve - Good fit in Angry Gun nozzle, was too large to fit in TM nozzle. Had a drop of superglue added to rear of grub screw to prevent it unscrewing and flying out the barrel! It was a good tight fit in the screw threads so unlikely. Easy to adjust with allen key, nozzle marked "+ more / - less" on the nozzle to aid adjustment
RA Silver NPAS - Had been sanded around circumference to fit smoothly in TM nozzle, was a bit lose in Angry Gun. Easier to see when adjusting it, again it requires safety-pin to stop it rotating while using special tool to wind in or out.
Things I did not change:
- Nuprol Green Gas / v2 MWS magazine, unmodified / 0.28g G&G BBs.
- Modify Tan Bucking / Laylax hop arm / Crazy Jet 250mm barrel.
- G&P highspeed buffer / SixG HSB / std recoil spring.
- Xcoretech X3200 Chrono
- The weather, sunny 22deg C. All tests conducted out of direct sunlight
- Dynamic Precision green nozzle cup (moved between test setups)
Magazine given a 10s charge, left for 30mins. Given a 4s top-up and left for 5mins between tests
What I changed:
Initially I used the Dynamic Precision lightweight bolt for tests #1 and #2
- Test 1: Angry Gun Nozzle and valve, Dynamic Precision nozzle spring. (GREY plot)
- Test 2: TM stock nozzle, RA Silver NPAS, Dynamic Precision nozzle spring. (ORANGE plot)
- Test 3: TM Stock bolt with RA Silver NPAS, Dynamic Precision nozzle spring. (RED plot)
- Test 4: Dynamic Precision bolt, Angry Gun nozzle, Dynamic Precision nozzle spring, RA Black NPAS (this was conducted a couple of days ago, and kicked off the investigation, otherwise all the same) (BLACK plot)
Results:
Have a look at the two charts, both have the same data, but the scatter graph has the best-fit line added to aid in looking for the most consistent set up.
The setup #3 was the most consistent, but changing to the DP bolt(#2) gave almost the same consistency but slightly higher FPS (maybe more gas efficient?) The one outlier at 305fps spoilt it somewhat so maybe over 20-35rds it might be just as good as #3?
The TM bolt, due to the extra weight, gave more recoil, but probably at the expense of gas efficiency. I feel this is an acceptable trade-off as the action was still pretty snappy (thanks in part to the SixG HSB) and full auto was still fast enough. The DP lightweight piston probably saves a little gas and can eke out a few more rounds from a magazine but it will likely be marginal and at the expense of recoil felt (if you want low recoil and high RPS....get an AEG!)
Conclusions:
The TM Nozzle with the modified RA Silver NPAS seems to be the most consistent, it is likely that the bolt (TM or DP) has little bearing on the outcome in terms of FPS consistency. Recoil and gas efficiency is where these make a difference.
The TM Nozzle with the RA Black NPAS (built for the MWS system) is a loser fit and will likely have a wider variance, but not as bad as the larger internal-bore Angry Gun nozzle! (I would guess it would be around the 17-19fps spread...maybe one day I'll check!)
So, if you use Angry Gun parts...use the whole thing and don't change out valves/NPAS. Or better yet, if other experiences are to go by, just stick to TM!
If you are sticking with TM nozzles try the RA Tech Silver NPAS and spend 5mins with some fine wet&dry carefully sanding the external diameter until it drops in and moves freely. If you can find a Black on that is a suitable alternative...oh and in both cases carry a safety pin in your tool box to adjust it

G&P MOE repainted with graphite grey engine paint, Octarms 13" rail and over-barrel carbon fibre moderator. Camo Krylon stripped from the rest of it.
Internally I have put in a non-wobbly spring guide and M105 spring (minus 1 coil!) to give me 292fps on 0.28g BBs. Still got the Titan basic and SHS gears.
PEQ box for the battery as the MOE handguard was a nightmare and looking a bit old skool. Waiting on BCM rail covers in grey and maybe one of their hand stops if I can find one in the UK as US shops refuse to post due to ITAR regs 🙄

I am not sure what size screw is needed but if you measure with some calipers the hole and round up to the nearest whole mm you should be able to Google for it.
Eg. If it is 2.78mm hole I would get some 3mm diameter Metric grub screws in a few lengths (6mm / 8mm / 10mm maybe?! Not seeing the original I am guestimating!)
I would love to know this too!
TBH the MWS trigger isn't that bad, just has feel unlike AEG switches 🤣
I have found that stripping the trigger box and polishing the parts (and clearing out the grit and sand that the previous owner had filled it with!) helped a lot. Some 0.1mm shims (M4 and M6 size) to get rid of any excessive play / twist on parts can help but too many and it jams up...you need patience for that! I spent a previous life servicing and tuning MTB suspension so I love this sort of thing 🤓
I have a Wii Tech hammer and spring on order as my trigger set would not play nice with the Wii Tech marksman sear (maybe due to worn parts?) so I will report on that once I have fitted it all. The Wii Tech parts are really well finished but replacing the entire trigger box contents is about $200 😖😱
TL;DR: Don't let the trigger put you off.
