Anyone tried the TM pistol mag sized speed loader with MWS magazines? I have the TM XL one and it works great but want a small one to carry in the field for those busy games 😁 I have tried my Nuprol one and only managed to spray BBs all over the floor.

Just bought a Cyma CM045 AKS-74U with wood furniture and canvas sling I had the tactical one and it was a beast of a gun (especially with a few upgrades!) and I regret selling it. It easily shot TF guys at the top of the Copehill Down tower (sHoRt bArElLs cAn"T sHoOt fAr dErRp....) and was the best CQB I have used ergonomics wise (don't let my MP7A2 hear that!) Plan is to turn this into a weathered AK as you might find leaning against a shack wall in Afghanistan, but make the performance a little better Internally I have a Gate NanoHARD, G&G Green rubber and some gearbox shims to add, it will be running off a 11.1v LiPo and using steel 125rd mags. The ultimate sleeper gun / bad guy loadout / loaner / backup to my GBBs Next purchase will be ANOTHER gun case 🤪

Mine slid on fine with zero play, possibly the finest tollerences I have seen for a while! I added some good quality grease so I have a hope in hell of removing it at some point in the future. You will love the rail covers, if you ordered from Brownells don't expect them to be with you before 2weeks after order, I think Customs / ParcelFarce are a bit busy!

No flare and low enough to be below the optic. Only issue is backsplash from the 1200lm! There is a lens holder on it and I have red, blue and green filters to cut down the glare (and protect the lens of the light!) I just need some dark CQB games to see which works best for dazzling the target and IDing them quickly

They are very grippy, more so than the usual textured pistol grips but less than skateboard grip tape. Should be non-slip without trashing my gloves in one game.

MWS is done. Shimmed the trigger box. If anyone finds shimming a V2 gear box just too easy and not enough steps or repeated stripping and rebuilding I can recommend shimming a MWS trigger box 🤪 Some 4mm x 8mm 0.1mm and 6mm x12mm 0.1mm shims for the sear, trigger and hammer pivots. Top tip is don't shim the sears too much as that will stop the trigger resetting...I am still not sure why but there we go. Minimal binding and wind-up on the pull and a snappy reset. Only took 2hrs! Fitted some BCM M-Lok rail covers to the Hao Mk16 rail and happy with the slim but grippy feel. Now to wait for Strikeforce CQB or UCAP Vendetta to re open and give it an outing!

BCM Mlok rail covers from Brownells Final finishing touch to my MWS GBBR...now I just need the local sites to reopen 😄

I know he has had issues with the email, he did get back to me about the High Speed Buffer (which is also awesome!) in the end and it was worth the wait. My MWS came with the Laylax hop arm so no nub needed, and I have a Modify Tan bucking which seems to be pretty good but I have had a limited time to test it.

It seems a lot of the after market triggers are slightly too wide for the trigger box and when there is spring tension on them they twist and jam in it, leading to not resetting. I need to strip the box again and measure up for some thin shims to keep everything as aligned and free moving as possible. Will be trial and error but I am pretty well practiced at rebuilding the trigger box by now!

It is the "TM NGRS and MWS group" or some such. Some good GBBR info on it and not populated by the usual FB airsoft cretins 🤪

Shop have said I can return it, plus given me the name and number of their GBBR guy to speak to. Purchased from FireSupport who are awesome and who I will use again (and again, and again!) Seems from the Facebook TM GBBR group this is a feature, not a bug. IE they all do this and people just accept it 🙄 Apparently the regular (non-marksman) sear is pretty good so may try that. The fit and finish on it is amazing, shame the double-bevel on the face gives this weird issue! HOME FIX: If you are happy taking the trigger box apart look for areas inside the shell where the trigger bar is rubbing due to torsion of off-set spring tension. Gently sand the corresponding area on the trigger bar to reduce the friction. Bonus points for sourcing 0.1mm steel shims for the hammer, trigger and sear posts to prevent torsion friction 👍 EASIER TUNE: Under the "tail" of the semi auto sear (rear left of trigger box as you hold the lower reciever) place small squares of gaffer tape under this, stuck to the trigger box, to reduce the sear engagement with the hammer. Don't add too much and check that you can't accidentally trip it by cocking the gun then slapping it around like it owes you money 😁 You should end up with some nice smooth take up to a clearly defined wall then a shorter, crisp break. Total cost £0.03p.

So, an update on the WIITECH Marksman sear for the MWS. It fitted fine but made the trigger '2 stage' and meant the first part of the pull pushed the valve knocker 1/3 way forward! This even happened when the selector was set to SAFE! Pulling the trigger after this lead to a light-strike on the magazine valve and failure to cycle. If you simply snatched at the trigger it worked, but given the safety implications I immediately changed back to the stock TM sear. 20200611_153721.mp4 20200611_153655.mp4

I have just stripped, cleaned and re-built my MWS trigger box. Not as bad a task as I expected, mainly down to pre-watching the Eagle6 youtube video on it several times! While flushing it with disc brake cleaner then re-oiling is great normally, the previous owner seemed to keep this CQBR buried in a sand pit and the trigger was tight and sluggish. Stripped, de-greased and then reassembled with Abbey TF2 grease (and a light spray of GT85 on the Z-plate and bolt release catch) and the trigger is smoother, definite wall and more even pull with a crips reset. Not match quality but useable. I am still looking to improve the trigger but I am having a hard time finding which parts or modifications actually help. There seem to be some very pricey parts kits or complete trigger boxes out there but zero user feedback (other than some negative stuff on the G&P box!) EDIT: Just ordered one 😁 Has anyone used the WIITECH "marksman sear"? At £18 it sounds like a reasonable upgrade....

Hao Mk16 rail in 9.3" for my TM MWS. loving its smooth profile, light weight and precise machining.

If you take off the end cap and pull the bolt out you should be able to see the hop rubber and gauge if it needs replacing. Barrel cleaning can be done with a cleaning rod and some of those alcohol wipes they use before injections. Ebay and amazon have them in boxes of 100 for not much £. Youtube has a few videos, this one is ok but I would watch a few (even in foreign language) to get an over view of the process. Not too hard after the first time!

Type 89 magazines in stock with FireSupport, although I guess no one is in a mad rush for mags at the moment! Not sure what the difference between a MWS and Type89 mag is...I think it is just the finish and some slight cosmetic differences?

SixG nub or Laylax hop arm - so you can lift heavy (0.30g+) BBs that get the best from the system. SixG buffer spacer would be my next suggestion.

There is the one that fits the TM buffer tube and the other one (labled the MWS004 or something) that is ONLY for the G&P buffer tube (larger diameter than the stock TM one) Not used one as I ordered the wrong one and Fire Support were out of stock by the time I had returned it.

As you have eliminated all the other parts I would guess that there is some corrosion in the mag shell or the rear corner where the cut-off lever sits has been bent inwards a fraction, possibly due to being dropped. Assemble each part separately and check it moves smoothly and if not find where it is sticking. Needle files and wet&dry paper will sort out any sticking points. The mags need stripping and cleaning, especially in dusty conditions, to avoid the precision parts like the cut off arm starting to stick.

The WE one will fit *if* you don't mind some work with wet&dry paper as the outer diameter is slightly bigger. G&P also make adjustable valves, but they have a narrower range of adjustment (and not really adjustable on the fly)

A couple of thin o-rings in the slot in the flash hider can also make it less wobbly Some good info about polishing the bolt and internal body to avoid the out-of-battery issue and where to add some tape to avoid the sloppy trigger take up. Was very handy when I got my MP7 secondhand.

My only tips would be "be prepared to order spares from Hong Kong" 🤣 I love mine but it is not as sturdy as the MWS. So far mine has had a broken stock catch, broken bolt stop lever and broken safety. All these are down to poor design (tiny spindle...with a flat face ground onto it...and a screw hole through it. Really TM?! Or the usual pot metal used in places where it is taking an impact. I would suggest a stronger recoil spring (or add some o-ring spacers) and a sling mount to fit on the top rail to take the impact of the bolt off the top take down pin (and prevent it cracking the internal shell, they are expensive and tricky to find) You can also add a cut down section on sniper rifle spring to the rear plate to cushion the bolt more. The fore grip is pants, I recommend finding the MP7A2 kit and running a proper RIS foregrip. ATRG.blog has the details on that. Mine is used for CQB so I keep it short and run a Vortex red dot and 1200lm Olight Valkyrie torch. I have just fitted a sound hog to it and boy is it loud! Green gas with stock barrel gives me 330-340fps with 0.20g but I usually run 0.25g so I can take advantage of the range when needed. Cold weather seems to have minimal effect on its performance, no idea if that is due to the mag shape, size or location in the pistol grip but it is great! Lees Precision makes a neat adaptor for the Xcortech 301 tracer that avoids it sticking out the front a mile. Defo useful in night games!

Excited to get this in my MWS, shame it will be totally invisible! Great to see constant improvements being made 👍

AI and Madbull propane adaptors failed to work on my MWS mags (with or without the silent fill mod) so I gave up. Now I look out for deals on Abbey gas and stock up on that SixG responded to me about the buffer spring spacer, think there were issues with the mail system
