    I can certainly see reasoning either way, they're both superb. It's usually around this time of year that I find myself really excited to use the MWS with temperature picking up and being consistently in the double figures, but that comes hand in hand with battling against more foliage which more firepower is generally the answer to in my case (I'm too shit at the sneaking around stuff to simply get closer, self awareness is important etc etc). The 'recoil' is never something I've been overly arsed with when it comes to RIFs, but I can definitely appreciate the GBBR ASMR and bolt clunking forward after a reload is huge boon for many... it's just not quite enough to win out over a double/tripled mag capacity 🤷‍♂️. TLDR - Airsoft is sweet, and folks finding their own personal 'yum' will never not make me happy irrelevant of my thoughts toward it.

    Same but different I guess. I'm a 'player' ahead of anything else in the hobby, a fairly active/aggressive (i.e. like being in the mix, not that I'm wandering around jonesing for a scrap) one at that, and tend to head out at least twice a month and often more than that. I enjoy the gear side of things more than RIFs, so always keep the RIFs I have on deck to a minimum. It's been an NGRS plus one other 'primary' and the trusty TM Glock for a while and that's about as deep of the 'collection' ever goes, I just keep what I actually use. The MWS ended up getting used more because I felt I needed to justify keeping it than it was that I actively wanted to. I do always like to have a back up should whatever I want to use die on the day, and streamlining batteries and mags across the board feels like even more convenience on top of the NGRS just being the best all round option for what I'm looking for in a RIF that sees regular use. And none of that is to downplay how good the MWS is, purely my personal preferences and experiences from juggling the two different RIFs over the last 2 years or so.

    Ta very much, I was expecting it to be decent but very impressed with the quality (the blue leather used is much thicker than I'd expected). It is indeed, truthfully it came with the upper and I was expecting to replace it. But it seems solid so it'll probably stay. Only real negative is that there are only 2 mlok slots on the top diagonal sections (i guess they'd be the 1:30 and 10:30 positions on a clock 🤷‍♂️). Not really an issue as I've just used a ranger band, but that did mean I couldn't use the thing I'd usually slap on to keep my tape switch in check (Magpul tape switch cover thing) because there weren't enough mlok sections where I like to run my switches. The NGRS has been my 'daily driver' for as long as I can remember, I'd hoped to move over to the MWS filling that role like all the other cool folks... but GBBRs just aren't for me. I'm not too proud to admit I just like having (read as, have come to rely on) more mag capacity and just generally find the NGRS more convenient for how I play. So yeah, have sold up on MWS bits and have a second NGRS on the way (L119A1 flavour, very jazzy) so I'll have the short boi, long boi and old boi. Probably the most content I've been with my RIF line up since starting the hobby 15 or so years ago which is a nice spot to be in.

    Spare upper for the NGRS arrived today. Purely an aesthetic change for running an LPVO (awaiting arrival of) as they historically look a bit wank an a shorter RIF in my opinion. Wouldn’t be shocked if this upper eventually ends up getting a carry handle grafted onto it 🤷🏻‍♂️. And a big ol’ patch for the back of the PC

    Been toying with picking one of these up for a while, so finally did.

Internally it's largely stock but does have a SixG super nub and high speed buffer installed, as well as a Modify tan bucking (stock bucking is included).

    Hi folks, As the title suggests, have an Angry Gun M733 receiver set for the Marui MWS up for grabs. I've painted it with a combination of fosco and krylon paints. Has marks from use as photos demonstrate, was missing blanks to cover faux body pins so I remedied this using some G&P anti-rotation pins (which are included). Also included is a charging handle 14.5" outer barrel (unknown brand), front sight post, A2 grip and replica hand guards and stock. I used stock Marui internals in it, bar a SixG Super nub and high speed buffer, and every thing was working as intended. Looking for £380 including postage and PayPal fees. Please note that due to work commitments I'm generally only able to post out at weekends. Cheers, Alex

    Uppers tend to be more desirable than lowers so I’d be inclined to go as follows: Upper including charging handle, forward assist and dust cover £140 including postage and PayPal fees Lower including the A2 grip, trigger guard, bolt release, mag catch, body pins and selector £120 including postage and PayPal fees Front end + rear sight £90-£100 including postage and PayPal fees (if this is a 14.5 outer barrel as it appears to be I’d be very interested, feel free to PM if this piques your interest) Buffer tube, castle nut and ‘end plate’ (I have no idea what the proper name is for them) £30-£40 including postage and PayPal fees If you split it up this way I wouldn’t be shocked if you wind up sitting on the buffer tube for a while so could be worth bundling those with the lower and shooting for £150ish for that as a set. I’m sure some might think these prices are a mile off, but stock uppers and lowers are extremely desirable alongside being hard to come by at present. I think you’d struggle to sell it all in one go personally, because price wise you’re going to be landing within £100 or so of what you could grab an ‘entry level’ MWS for. Just my ‘2 cents’ of course. Cheers, Alex

    Hi folks, As the title suggests, after a 14.5 outer barrel for my NGRS. Happy with either an after market one or a stock Marui one, the latter being my preference. Message me if you have something available that ticks the boxes. Cheers, Alex

    HI folks, As the title suggests, have a Vortex Crossfire II 2-7x32 Dead Hold BDC with Hawke Medium Height Match Rings. Has been used for about an hour and half in game at most, managed to take a couple of hits during that time (as pictured). Only superficial but should be noted. Looking for £100 including postage and PayPal fees. Please note that due to work commitments I'm generally only able to post out at weekends. Note: As can be seen I do have the packaging for the rings to show what they are. In an ideal world I'll be posting without the ring packaging because it'll make packing unnessarily awkward... will of course include the allen key.

    HSP Flatpack arrived today which sees my PC finished. Been looking at the options available for carrying hydration and a can or 2 of gas as my GBBR usage increases. Having tried out the Ferro hydration pouch and the flatpack, the flatpack wins out purely because it’s more versatile (though the Ferro one is lovely). List of bits is: Ferro Concepts FCPCv5 Ferro Concepts Assault Cummerbund Ferro Concepts KTAR Front Flap Ferro Concepts Padded Strap Socks AXL Advanced Admin Zipper Spiritus Systems Small GP Pouch Esstac KYWI Single Tall Mag Pouch Haley Strategic Flatpack 2.0 SORD TED Pouch

    Hi folks, Here seems as good a place as any for this. TLDR I ordered some scope mounts from here on May 3rd, I haven't received my order and have only had one reply from them (on May 14th) which was essentially a generic 'we'll look into this'. I've emailed 3 times since getting that reply chasing any sort of correspondence and received nothing. Hopefully a phone call can see it resolved, not my preference as I prefer to have everything in writing. For what appears to be a fairly professional outfit it's been an absolute shambles, so yeah, as the title suggests my experience would lead me to advising folks avoid ordering from here. FWIW usually I'd be a lot more proactive about chasing this sort of thing down, not that I feel I should need to be, 'fortunately' it's a cheap order and I've simply been too busy during their open hours to dick about with phone calls... but alas. And no, they don't accept PayPal (likely down to what they sell at a guess) otherwise I would have thrown in a PayPal reversal/cancellation thing a few weeks ago. Cheers, Alex

    Haha, I'm from the Midlands so carpenter/chippy is what I'd call it. I'd always consider a joiner to be a bench joiner, but up here carpenter just doesn't seem to be a word that exists 🤷‍♂️. It's all bashing timber around at the end of the day I suppose, bit confusing when looking at jobs initially though!

    Glad to hear recovery is ongoing, and by the sounds of it as expected. My big two where annihilating the quad on my left leg (rectus femoris for those that care) by doing the extremely intense action of... standing up from crouching. And a completely shagged right shoulder from years of playing rugby when younger and just not taking care of injuries at the time. The former of which was much more recent, and was affecting me while working (I'm a joiner, or carpenter to those that live down South). I guess these are more of a physical worry than a mental one, with the mental aspect more being if I do something that puts me out of work for a period of time I'm leaking finances which eventually becomes a mental strain. And that's truthfully something that's at the back of my head everytime I play. In terms of powering/pushing through, it's kinda just that for me. These things happen, and they can happen if you're charging around an airsoft field with all the protection in the world... or they can happen bending down to grab a pan out of a cupboard in the kitchen. And there are two ways you can go from there, bubble yourself away from everything that you perceive to be dangerous (which is potentially literally everything), or crack on with the things you enjoy while you enjoy them. In terms of getting through the mental side of it, professional opinion has always helped me with these sorts of decision to give me a better idea of what risk, if any, is involved... and whether that risk is worth it for whatever I want to be doing. Shitty as it is, ultimately you're the only person that'll know when you're ready for that and I'm sure we all hope that when that time comes you have an absolute blast.

    Hi folks, Have 5 Tokyo Marui NGRS midcaps up for grabs. The one left most in the photo has seen some use, the other 4 are unused (picked up just before I got my hands on some P-Mags, P-Mags are all I've used since then). Looking for £20 each, or all 5 for £95 including postage and PayPal fees in either case. Please note that due to work commitments I'm generally only able to post out at weekends. Cheers, Alex

    Open to being wrong but 0.36s seems a bit heavy for that stock bucking? I dare say you're hop is cranked too high for the stock bucking to lift that weight, hence the blockages.

    Nowhere near as jazzy or fancy as half of the bits in here, but if it works it works 🤷🏻‍♂️. Made use of an old tracer unit, dremeled a bit of length off, added some o-rings and now it might actually see some use.

    Hi folks, Have an Angry Gun 10" BCM MCMR M-Lok Rail up for grabs. Not sure I ever fitted this on anything, condition is damn near perfect. Small mark on the fixing lug on the right side of the rail would suggest I test fit it on something. Looking £100 including postage and PayPal fees.

    New eye pro and dump pouch arrived, eye pro looks very promising… and the dump pouch is one I’ve owned previously so know what to expect. Aside something to carry hydration as we venture into the, what should be, warmer months alongside a can of gas and I’m pretty set 😊. P.S. A picture of just some glasses and a dump pouch is decidedly boring so I went with some artist licence.

    NGRS Mk18 was early 2019, MWS Mk18 was late 2020. But as you say, whether there is anything to be gleamed from that is unlikely. As Dave says, the bulk of the look is the rail. If you’re after the shorter variant the 9.3” from/by HAO is the one folks will likely recommend (myself included), just be sure to select the MWS barrel nut to make your life as easy as possible. Starting with the CQBR as your build base gives you the barrel length you’re shooting for. After that it’s just completing the look with a replica SF four prong muzzle device, and then throwing whatever ‘tactical gubbins’ you want on the rail.
