C-Diddy

I'm having a mare trying to find a replacement spring for the hop up adjustment wheel. All the usual outlets are out of stock and I'm getting desperate now. Does anyone know where I could pick one up, or perhaps have one themselves they'd be willing to sell me?

Any suggestions, apart from Impulse101 or Eagle Six, where I can pick up a hop click pin spring? Nudged the hop wheel earlier when reassembling and mine fucked off into the beyond.

May Magpul sale? Yep. Trigger guard and cheek riser for me

My recent order from Brownells took about two weeks

Got the Angry Gun suppressor on, together with the Magpul CTR stock and MOE+ grip,and mounted the Vortex Crossfire just to see what it looks like. MK18 RIS II rail arrived today, as have a Laylax wrench, a PTS adapter ring and a couple of spare TM hop rubbers. A new trigger guard and cheek riser are inbound and I'm waiting to get either a BCM Gunfighter or Magpul RVG foregrip, some new BUIS and maybe a PEQ and weapon light, then I'll start on the final version...until the HAO SMR arrives ?

I guess we're not putting that band together then ??

So the move to GBBRs begins: From Fire Support TM CQB-R 3x MWS mags Angry Gun 556 SOCOM suppressor From Impulse101 2x piston nozzles 2x piston springs From Dave at SixGun Brass nub From Defcon Vortex Crossfire 2 From Powair6 Magpul CTR stock Magpul MOE+ grip Well impressed with Impulse 101; delivery in nine days from Japan. Not impressed with Border Force who basically raped my Magpul stuff, stepped on the box and threw everything back in a bag without re-packing it. Great service from Fire Support as per and @Davegolf is a diamond. Now, let's start on that blue bow...

This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine. Can I join properly now please?

I mean, if you ever change your mind, just PM me hun ?

Been following your journey mate. Stockpiling bits and bobs for my first MWS build. Just need the gun and I can start!

That's reassuring to know as I ordered one yesterday...and yes, as @AlphaBearsaid, HAO aren't delivering to the UK at the moment, but as I'm still waiting for Fire Support's TM restock, I haven't got a gun to attach it to anyhow!

I still wear it, unfortunately, but then again, not much use for Virtus at sea!

Awesome! What brand tape do you recommend to secure it to the upper?

Well, many days after starting, I've finally finished all 200 pages. Apart from figuring out that I really need to do more with my spare time, here are my main take homes from the thread: The MWS in all its iterations is, as Snoop may say, the shiznit The MK18 version looks ace but the design is mental The third party support for the platform is huge @AlphaBearhates Nuprol The one constant upgrade that almost everyone agrees on as being performance enhancing and therefore an essential purchase, is the SixG brass nub Whenever retailers get any MWS's or TM original parts in stock (especially mags), they disappear rapidly, so act fast Angry Gun are shit, but they're not, sort of HAO Industries kits are incredible looking (416 and L119A2 ?) but are jaw-droppingly expensive @AlphaBearreally hates Nuprol Fire Support provide excellent service to the needy and cash-rich MWS brethren Depending on barrel length, ammo weight, nub type, gas type, ambient conditions, lunar alignment and inside leg measurement, FPS ranges from 200 - 1,400 fps The green gas mag mod is not necessarily necessary @AlphaBearfrigging hates Nuprol Become familiar with Impulse101 and other Japanese sites and order well in advance of needing spare TM parts Nozzles, nozzle springs, TM hop rubbers and a decent armourer's wrench should be in everyone's tool/spares box This thread is an absolute goldmine of people willing to share information, admire other people's builds and welcoming other people in joining the growing number of MWS owners @AlphaBearabsolutely, positively hates Nuprol Thanks everyone. Looking forward to receiving the stock alert email telling me it's time to sell a kidney (or kid) as my MWS journey is about to begin.

Prommy tightbore and purple hop rubber and nub from Eagle 6, plus an Odin from BZ Tactical

Sounds like a good idea, and yes, it's easy to clock up the cost! I had the Viper VX and it was fine for a couple of games, then I noticed it wearing in places. No way I wanted to trust a £600 gun to a £12 sling. I got a the BFG VCAS from UK Tactical and it's absolutely awesome.

Nothing to do with your question, but having spent all that money on producing a cracking gun, please, do yourself a favour and protect it by investing in a more robust sling.

That is probably the most comprehensive response I could've got! Really appreciate it buddy, thank you, and the gun looks great ??

I'm probably opening myself up for a fair amount of abuse, or at least a stack of eye rolling and "here we go again" type comments, but I appreciate your comments and thoughts regardless; I'm looking to get my first GBBR with a view to building a gun I can (effectively) field next year. I'm toying with a L119A2 build (told you the eye-rolling would start) but am not too concerned with it being 100% accurate. I know I'd need the Angry Gun rail and outer barrel, and personally I'd want a Magpul CTR stock, Magpul pistol grip and foregrip and run it with a suppressor, but those are all decisions for the future. My question is, is this a viable idea for a TM GBBR, and if so, what would be a good base platform to start with; the M4 MWS or CQB-R? Like I mentioned, I'm looking at this as a longer term project, primarily to make it easier from a finance point of view, but also because I'm a fickle bastard and may change my mind halfway through - I may end up wanting a more generic SF M4-style build as I am a big fan of Seal Team-style loadouts for example - so would love to hear your experiences, recommendations and warnings of any pitfalls. Thank you.

I did. Did I make a great job of it? Noooo ? Everything works but I'll certainly need to neaten things up You're not allowed to mention the word 'tan' to me, you know I have no willpower. I keep looking at stocks, pistol grips and foregrips as it is ?

Let's see how these badgers perform. Titan 7.4v with a new charging bag (smaller than I thought!) and a free patch from Platoon

The WAS poly mags are standard 3 MOLLE rows high. If you're after them in Coyote let me know

I recently got the PLB belt in Coyote to go with a new loadout. Had an OD one before and really liked it. The belts are comfortable with loads of MOLLE space. My only niggles with them are that the buckle strap could be thicker and the buckle itself is unnecessarily fiddly. I picked up the shooters belt pack and, even though I'm not a fan of the mag pouches, it's great value.
