Is that 6cm on optics, red dot or irons? At the weekend I was shooting stood up supported, getting 6" at 30m with propane, 6.03/303mm barrel, .32 Geoffs, TM bucking, biro mod and red dot optic. Although it was a bit windy. So your 6cm seems very good to me. I'm tweaking my set up this week, and will give it a test. I'm planning on the same 30m range, Mapp, 370mm Crazy Jet barrel, .32 Geoffs, Modify X bucking, SixG nub, HSB, and last but not least a decent x6 LPVO. I've not even been able to skirmish the thing due to Lockdown2, but the more I get into it the less interested I am in picking up an AEG ever again. If we say a 2.3 joule bolty and mk23 is like playing airsoft on hard mode, is the MWS platform, with its 1/2 kilo magazines like playing airsoft on ultra?

Yes, I have managed to remove mine with a electric heat gun and 'special tool' I fabribodged at work from some (I think) 26mm OD conduit as seen the the attached pic. It was quite the horror show, but came off pretty easily once I had got it all clamped in a vice with an AR receiver clam. I shall be letting the tool go with the set when I flog the MK18 rail, barrel nut, flash hider, front sling loop point, rear stock and sights.

Just a heads up for anybody after full size TM mags - Firesupport has had a batch in. 42 left as of this morning, but I have just bagged 3 of those... I could also use some advice with upping the fps on my newly aquired mk18. As a recent GBBR convert, I (possibly foolishly) hope to use my MWS as much as possible during the UK winter. After testing 4 types of gas on Sunday, I was seeing unimpressive fps: around 300 on a .20 using Nuprol 4.0 at 9/10 degrees outside. It's going to get much colder than this, and 300 fps is not going to cut it against AEG's at a 370 fps Stirling game. I am really enjoying tinkering with the gun, but have so far just done the GG mod to the mags, which has helped somewhat. The magazines do not seem to be the weak link, and the winter gases are doing the best they can. I'm building up courage to have the front end off, but I need to be very careful as I plan to sell the furniture as a TM complete mk18 upgrade kit, as I have other plans for the base gun. When I do get it apart, I have a 303mm 6.02 lapped barrel to try, and a nub and HSB from Dave on order. In the meantime, I have borrowed a rocket valve from an old KWA MP9, and switched out the stock TM one. After leaving mags in the fridge overnight, on Nuprol 3.0 on .20 bb's I chroned at 390 fps, then 380, 363, settling on 340 ish. Impressive, but not skirmishable. Angry Gun adjustable nozzle kits are out of stock everywhere, and when I asked a UK seller about MWS NPAS kits, he said that would not help, as it would not add fps that wasn't there to begin with? I have put the stock valve back in, but wanted to know if I can modify it to push a little more gas? Other than this, I think I will have to order something from Hong Kong, but what?

Yet another new MWS convert here, after much umming and arrhing, I 've taken the plunge: After only recently coming back to airsoft after being clean for a few years, I now find myself furloughed and drooling online for hours. When I got bored of airsoft a few years ago, I'd ended up a PTW fanboy. Gas guns were crap back then. Things appear to have changed. I haven't taken this mk18 out to a game yet due to lockdown. Purchased from Eagle 6 this week, I took it home and had tremendous buyers remorse after blasting off a few mags in my cold garage in the dark. 1/2 a kilo per a piffling 35 bb's? WTF? And all the noise, clattering and banging disturbed me. After spending this week reading all 150 pages, I want to thank everybody here on this great thread who has contributed. I'm now a gas convert, and look forwards to joule creeping the shit out of all future skirmishes. My PTW's are boxed up in the loft, with their choppy mags and soulness gubbins. My G Spec has had it's beautifully lapped barrel removed, ready to be donated to this MWS, as soon as I can work out a good way of torching the front end off. My newly fixed MP7 AEG, pretty as it is, looks like it might be consigned to creeping around at night use. I can't help but think winter isn't the best time to adopt a fanatical GBBR compulsion, but here I am, getting involved.
