  1. After going to a couple of paintball parties and loving it, I've decided my 12 year old needs to know how good proper toy gun-based entertainment is, and I've promised to take him with me to a skirmish day soon. Just wanted to know if anyone had any recommendations for full facepro, as my local site only offers the wanky fencing-style masks for kids. I'd rather him have something more substantial that he can use for a couple of years. Seen this on Patrol Base, which seems ok https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/valken-annex-mi-7-full-face-mask
  2. That's excellent! Never had bad service from him. Top bloke.
  3. Not really being a fan of mesh facepro, but sweating like a bastard under woollen snoods or a shemagh, let's give Delta Mike a go. Seems a very comfortable fit and looks very good quality in terms of stitching and padding. Order to delivery in just over a week, which is great.
  4. To give myself a few more options on game day, and not wanting to go all out on Crye gear (yet!) I ordered a couple of sets of Emerson G3 copies from good old Ali Express. Along with bog standard multicam, I've gone for multicam tropic and honest to goodness woodland. Added a new woodland boonie as well. Also added a C2R IFAK to my shooters belt, and, to show the MWS a little love, some Gun Sav. It is almost Valentine's Day so some lube seemed appropriate.
  5. For a brief while I had the WE Cybergun version, which had the yellow box. As others have said, the majority of the new ones in Cybergun's standard black and wireframe packaging all seem to be the full auto version. Did you buy/receive the semi or auto version?

  10. I found the stock grip to be really uncomfortable so installed a Magpul MOE+ and changed the trigger guard. It's now much more comfortable.
  11. Ah. that's right! Thought I was having a case of deja-vu! The brass nub is quality. Just have a bit of patience and Dave will sort you out. I wouldn't be in a rush to change any other internals though, but it's your choice. Sounds like you have the right approach to it so get cracking over the weekend and enjoy yourself. If members of Slipknot played airsoft...
  12. Sounds like you're all set then! I use the same gas and ASG BBs are decent. I use Devil Blasters and want to try Open Blasters too. Good experience with Geoffs Precision too. You'll find the MWS is so easy to get loads of external bits and bobs for. Just go with what you want, but try and avoid Angry Gun parts if there are other manufacturers, as they seem to be really hit and miss.
  13. Good to hear pal. If you haven't already, take a look at Impulse101. They're the best place I've found for original TM parts at good prices, even with shipping from Japan. Delivery to UK is, on average, 9-11 days. Things you might want to have in your toolbox are spare nozzles, nozzle return spring, hop rubbers and mag lips. Wouldn't worry too much though just yet, but bear in mind those are common parts that fail eventually. Also, search for the guide @Davegolfposted in the MWS thread. He's listed all the essential tools and maintenance products you may need. Finally, and this goes for all guns, not just the MWS, use good quality BBs. And for £200 you'll easily pick up a decent back-up AEG. Just don't fool yourself that your initial £1,100 is you done. Just wait til you look at HAO Industries parts, real steel furniture, optics etc etc 😂 Enjoy though pal.
  14. I haven't regretted my MWS for a second. Seems more satisfying getting into a decent position and picking people off carefully, rather than mag dumping into bushes. I mean, I still do that occasionally 😂 Whatever you choose, MWS, GHK, you'll enjoy it pal.
  15. I understand exactly where you're coming from. I love my MWS and the way you need to discipline yourself to only take the shots you think you can hit, the immersion of reloading under fire etc. However, GBBRs, even the mighty MWS can be temperamental and suffer with performance anxiety, especially this time of year in the UK. Having a backup AEG ready to go is recommended, just in case.
  16. In the spirit of showing my AEGs some love, today the AK got the sling I've been saying I'll buy for the last 18 months. Just need to source those elusive metal mid-caps now
  17. I've been so preoccupied getting my MWS set up, I'd neglected my NGRS 416. A quick trip across the border to Kingdom of Airsoft for a service, a little power and gearbox tweak, and it's fantastic again.
  18. I'd say so. At least then you'll be able to get an idea of when a restock is expected. Good luck pal 👍
  19. You spoken to Ian at Tactical Kit? I'm pretty sure they're a Surefire stockist
  20. Loads of advice in this post. It's well worth your time to read as much as you can as most of your questions will have been answered, especially if you're new to the platform. It's never a bad idea to try something as it is, straight out of the box before considering upgrades. One thing I found from reading 200+ pages of this before I received mine, is that the MWS needs very little doing to it, if anything, to be fantastic. You'll find the majority of 'upgrades' people do are external.
  21. I use the Laylax one - https://www.fire-support.co.uk/product/laylaxfirst-delta-ring-tool-for-m4solaylaxprometheus-od-recoil-and-gbb-mws Used it on the barrel and stock tube with zero problems.
  22. Update on this - situation still the same; absolutely zero comms from Travail so a PayPal dispute has been filed. I'm massively disappointed as, as I've said before, they look to be the best plates around. Just waiting on an email to say the HR4K plates are back in stock.
  23. I still hadn't received any word (or money) back from FRV, despite the apology email and promise of a refund before Christmas. PayPal dispute submitted last week and the refund notification came through yesterday. While the situation and length of time it took to resolve has pissed me off, I wouldn't have bought the C2R belt without it, which is fantastic and the service was exemplary. So, you know, trying to put a silver-lining on it and I think I have 😆

    b***** gas

    I was going to ask the same question as @Nick G Also, is the random firing single shot or bursts of auto?
