Disclaimer: I have never been a fan of, liked the look of or, fired a Glock before. I have been running a TM FNX-45 for a couple of years and whilst it performs fantastic, the lack of all the attachments I could possibly want lead me down the Glock path. Having spent too much time reading and going round in circles and back and forth between the GHK Glock 18 Gen 3, Gen 5 and the TM one, I decided to take a punt on the TM G17 Gen 5 MOS. All I can say is wow, I absolutely love it. It fits and feels so much better in my hands, not small by any stretch of the imagination, than the FNX-45 did, which just felt a bit too big all round. I have only fired and played around with it briefly when it arrived at lunch time today. But, I am a convert! Now all those extras...... 🤣

since when does "need" come in to it 😆

Back in stock again And mags in stock here: https://www.surplusstore.co.uk/tokyo-marui-g17-gen-5-gas-magazine.html

There is an older thread comparing the TM and KJW ones (2016)

So far so good. I will be using them on Sunday and will report back after that.

I have just replaced two RA Tech npas I had fitted to my MWS' with the Federal Concepts ones and, they are so easy and precise to quickly adjust without trying to wedge the RA tech ones with something to stop them rotating while you adjust them.

Hi all, I recently got a second MWS; a TM Mk18 MWS which, knowing the issues with the barrel nut, the shops tech loosened it for me before sending it out. I also purchased the nut tool from Black Rifle. Do you know if it's possible to swap the barrel nut/spacer that it comes with as standard, for these two, so that the handrail comes apart as it was originally intended to?

Yeah, in the bottom pic it looks a lot better.

It does look like is not quite mounted right. This is the exactly the same sight on my mk18. Ignore the duvet ;-)

I am in a similar situation to the OP in that this is the first time I wanted to get a classic Eotech style holographic site for an mk18 build. I have bought this site off fleabay (yeah I know...) but from a looks point of view it was the closest to the Eotech and that was in stock, without spending hundreds of pounds. At this stage I am not sure if I like this style over the red dots I have but, this was for the look: SOTAC EXPS 3.0 Holographic Red Green Dot Reflex Sight XPS3 558 £63 It looks Ok but, there is a lot of distortion on the lens if you move your head/view point from the very center and I am considering sending it back but, again, no where has stock of the HW S1 in tan in stock which seems the best clone even at ~£140 I just stumbled across this very good comparison video which also backs the claim that, out of the ones tested, the HW S1 is the best:

I ordered from them two weeks ago and it/they arrived without any issues. I have used them before and never had any issues or with them responding when I have had a concern (only once). Defo one of my preferred suppliers of airsoft stuff

Airsoft World.net used to do them in large quantities but, appear to only list the black ones now which are out of stock: https://www.airsoftworld.net/asg-devil-blasters-0-20g-bbs-100-000-bulk-box-of-black-invisible-bbs.html

Sure, send me a couple and I will try them for you 😆

It is very tight. I ran 3 stick lipos and if you held two together and got the perfect @2 o'clock angle on the right tube and about 10 on the left tube with the other one you could just get them in. I tried the Titan ones in hope, but they were just fractionally too wide, only maybe by 1 mm but it was enough that even with trying to trim the internal fins, they didn't fit. I avoided jamming them down the main stock tube as I didn't want to touch the mosfet and fuse in there. I have switched to a GBB now, so don't have to think about it anymore 😉 good luck.

Ollie talks Airsoft encountered that very problem with the Guarder ones:

Adding the link for anyone who didn't see this on Discord:

I have one of these attached to a SafariLand QLS: https://smile.amazon.co.uk/Design-Speedy-Holster-Airsoft-Aisoft/dp/B0116NJQ6S/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=smg+holster&qid=1639057799&sr=8-5 I use the mp7 as a secondary for the sniper load-out and switch the holster between pistol (m4 load-out) and mp7, both on the QLS. This works really well although the above holster is a bit of faff to get the mp7 in to if you are in a hurry.

at that price you could afford a second one and dual wield them 🤣

Could it be the o-ring that goes on the outside, on the end, of the inner barrel to stabilize it inside the actual outer barrel?

The face mask and eye wear combo looks really clever/interesting, what is it?

Cheers Sir, I will look in to that.

Nice job. I was looking at these as they seem a great option to replace the cheap ones I got to see if I was happy running something on my ears all day, which I am. Are you running a mic with these as well?

Welcome to the forum and airsoft, you will love it, it's great fun and a chance to met some really nice people. We just played at Skirmish Billiericay site for the first time this weekend and it's a great site with a good mix of game types and is well marshalled. They also have a great selection of kit and accessories onsite to hire or buy so you shouldn't need to worry about gear for your first game, other than a some decent foot ware with ankle supp if possible? On the whole once the games get going everyone is really friendly and up for in game banter and laughs without taking it all too seriously.

I had a pair of Salomon boots that were very heavily abused in all sorts of weather and walking/climbing and dog walking conditions. No joking, they failed after about 20-25 years after the soles of both boots starting coming away at the same time. Ironically at one of my first couple of airsoft skirmishes last year. Read in to that what you will 😆 I immediately replaced them with another pair of Salomon's, but I haven't worn them in to get them to slipper comfy state yet 😉 Expensive, but awesome boots!
