I'm using an AW one, it's working fairly well and it's €10 cheaper than them WEs.
I'll buy a couple more whenever I have some spare cash
Spare cash? Does that concept actually exists when it comes to airsoft 😂😂

You getting one?
More than likely yes..... although I'm happy to wait on some real reviews first...

Can't stand drums so can anyone recommend some extended mags that work with the AAP?
The WE EU17/18 mags I believe work. Patrol base have them for £40. You just need to confirm the gas router is the non MOS one flat not curved. Call them first though and see if they can send you a pic of the gas router.

Tap that ass!!!
Unfortunately I don’t have any HPA gear so wouldn’t know how to tap the darn thing. Roll on YouTube I guess.
Is the tap modification to the drum mag permanent?

Same price as fire support.
Expected mid to late Sept. -
I figured out a holster solution too for the drum mag. A dump pouch 😂
Airsoftworld have the aap cnc hammer for £20. I’ll add a few other bits to the order once I figure out what extra I need. mind you they are out of stock on many items sadly. A rear rail for a rmr is probably a good idea but it will probably get shot out in cqb anyway so scrap that idea.

Brilliant! Reloading is soooooo overrated!!
Especially if you only have one std mag in the first place 😆
Now to grab that AAP CNC hammer from Airsoftworld

I should be receiving my 1st MWS CQBR this time next week, in the meantime I've been slowly grabbing bits to tart it up with. That said I'm a bit of a noob with GBBR's so I'm hoping someone can help with a couple of questions.
I've read through the whole thread, but I'm just after some confirmation. I'm still deciding if I'll turn the CQBR into a MK18 or an URGI, if I go the MK18 route, I'm guessing that one of these https://www.fire-support.co.uk/product/madbull-mk18-95-inch-daniel-defense-sopmod-iiris-ii-desert-tan and https://www.fire-support.co.uk/product/pts-adapter-ring-for-marui-m4-mws-gbb plus a few washers for the screws for the rail would be ok?
As for a mk16, if I grab the Z-Parts 9.3" handguard, I'm guessing I don't need anything else to make it fit?
Yup that's what I have... the Madbull Mk18, the PTS washer and a few shims are needed... When I mean shims it's the lay lax barrel shims.. I have three 0.5mm on mine I believe.
.
Oh I had to add some washers on the bolts too... Nylon ones work fine..
-
Going back to the topic of the MWS green gas mod... Is there any specific length the gas tube should be cut off?
-
Interesting hop design that.. well for TM I mean... for some reason I was expecting a MWS type hop but I guess the AK mag well is a different form factor in that respect which warrantied a new design? Not that I know anything about AK hop units per se... lol. But only a 200mm barrel? How far is it from the end of the barrel?

I honestly don’t know why people are getting hung up on it not being a steel receiver.
historically TM never made metal body guns
or is it just trib’ism? I don’t mean to offend just wondering.
I wouldn’t get too hung up over the externals in 6months there will be various wood/body kits etc.
What we should be doing is celebrating a new rif that isn’t another M4 or variation etc 😝😝 (FYI I like m4’s … there is just soooo many off them)
You’re absolutely spot on there….
I’m sure it’s gonna be epic out of the box too and probably straight forward to ‘enhance’ if needed. I’m waiting for a mate of mine to get one as I’m curious to give it a go. Haha
-
This is an easy pass for me as I’ve never been a AK fan. Give me a gas MP5 any day of the week if that is TM ever make one.

I am using ASG Ultrair as it is consistent and on offer at PatrolBase. Nuprol Red is Propane with some Ethane to boost the pressure a bit (nuprol Green equates to pure Propane according to the Wiki article on the gas pressure at 20degC
Unless it is close to freezing Nuprol Red is overkill.What sort of FPS do you get with ASG ultra air? temp dependent and all that.

I use 2 second fill, then do the next mag and rotate around the 5 mags until all have had a 10 second fill in total. Easily enough for 3 mags worth of BBs (either modded Gen1 or stock Gen 2 TM MWS mags)
If you over fill the mag you end up with lots of liquid in them (so lots of shots) BUT not much of a gas layer above which is what propels the BB. After a couple of shots you will need to wait for more of the liquid to boil off into gas and get up to pressure before you have enough for the next shot. Less of an issue in hot climates but for the UK it can be a pain as there isn’t much residual heat in the mag body to do this or avoid cool-down.
That’s a good idea actually. I’ll give that a go next time I play. All my mags are gen2 and I don’t want to particularly open them up and chop the gas tube if there is no need to.
The only other thing I noticed last week was that many people were running Nuprol 3 and I was told they got better performance than running Abbey Ultra Predator. I guess that’s probably coz N3 is proper green gas whereas AUP is 144a on steroids?
-
I’m just wondering if you cut down the gas tube, even in a MWS mag, would this procedure help you having to vent your mags when filling them up? In case there is an air pocket or something in the mag. Or is there some other knack we can use. Like 5 second bursts and tapping the mag a few times or do you go for a straight 20 second full burst till the gas spills out the valve?
-
Thanks chaps. I’ll have a hunt around and see where I can get one from. They are circa £140 I see. Haha more than double the cost of the pistol (well nearly lol).

got an armourer works drum on mine, simply plug and play
Hey Spartan , is it the VX model ?
-
So am I right in thinking this pistol takes a VX model Armourers Works drum mag? From what I read on Evike the VX is the glock compatible model. Ergo it should fit the AAP. Right? Do we know if the routers will need changing or is it simply plug and play?

Ok so I may be an AAP-01 addict
(and I have bits on the way to build another one 🤣)
How on earth did you manage to add a MK18 type rail onto an AAP? That’s incredible!! Me likes!!!

Depending on your level of spendyness, I did find a spot on replica on a certain asian "express" website...
I know PTS have one in the pipeline and I expect that will be circa £50 when it’s readily available. Still £150 cheaper than the real version. At the moment the Aimpoint twist mount serves it’s purpose well. In the meantime I’ll keep an eye on the usual suspects to see if used FTC is available.

You gotta love RS steel optics....
the rest of the RIF ain't too bad either 
I'm rolling with a UNITY Fast most at the moment. I'm actually finding it better than the 1/3 co-witness. Target acquisition is so much faster too which is a bonus, although it takes a little time getting used to your new head position.
