Thank you that’s really helpful! I’ll give it a go and see where I get

Awesome thank you. I don’t care to be dead accurate with it.... I’m not that into recreations but a similar look would be good ?? BHD is one of my fav movies and thought it’d be cool to rock an old school version, bit of a change from all the keymod and MLok stuff people are using

Has anybody ever recreated the “Gordon Rifle” CAR-15 from Black Hawk Down? I really like the look and wanted to give it a go. Seems simple enough but wondered if there were any examples knocking about ?

Looks awesome ?? You’ve got the weathered look spot on

A present from the other half ?

Definitely the dirty operator look!..... I may have to resort to a stick on joke shop beard however ?

Not so much a good example just more of a basic guide...... rest assured the can was over 15cms away from the gun...... I haven’t got a paint studio so the garden and a clothes line did me fine haha

Thank you. Yeah I used the t-Rex arms video as a guide and also Garrand Thumbs design for the paint job. Really easy to do, spray it in alternating stripes of tan and brown, then lay some mesh over the top and spray the tan part with brown and the brown part with tan and voila! Snake skin type pattern

I painted my MWS a couple of months ago. I separated the upper and lower and then taped off the gaps on the inside, closed the dust cover, taped off the trigger and the end of the charging handle to prevent any paint/spray getting in the inside of the gun, then put the two pieces back together. I too kept the inner barrel in and just taped off the muzzle device which worked. Just tape off anywhere you think it’ll get into the inner workings of the gun. Hope that helps!

Does anyone know whether real steel dust covers fit the MWS? I’m looking at replacing the stock one for an engraved type design Thanks!

Thanks bud, will have a look at the video. I am not massively technical so if he says you can’t then I won’t be trying it, not with the price and shortage of mags at the moment haha

I’m not sure if it’s been mentioned in the previous posts but has anybody had any luck fitting those ranger style plates to the bottom of the MWS mags? They look like they would fit but would cover up the fill valve

Thanks chaps, I’d sprayed an old AEG before but not something as expensive or that I liked as much as my MWS so was apprehensive. I agree though they definitely look better sprayed!

Took the plunge and sprayed my TM MWS. Very happy with the result. A kind of brown/tan snake skin effect! ?

Yes that’s the one modify tan coloured bucking. That’s the one I’ve got having been recommended it on this thread ??

After seeing the paracord addition to an MFT stock on the forum I thought I’d give it a go for my TM MWS, turned out well so I made a paracord sling for it too

I like the look of the stock. Is that how it comes are did you put the paracord on there yourself?

Yeah towards the stock end for applying hop and towards the barrel for reducing..... I had to etch a little arrow on the inside of the receiver to remind me ?

My Angrygun L119A2 rail arrived today! Pretty happy with the look. Just waiting on a Magpul stock

Haven’t tried it, what is it designed to do and how does it change the noise?

Thanks for the advice guys, I think I’ll leave the mags alone for now until I find it becomes a real problem. I currently run 3 mags might get a 4th but 3 seems to suit my play style Alpha bear I have a speed loader with a pistol adaptor and it works great, I find it easier to tilt I up every so slightly and hold the top down against the adaptor with a spare finger

Speaking of mags do they still benefit from the “green gas mod”? I’ve had my MWS for about two months now and haven’t done anything with the magazines

My first attempt at a paint job.... fairly happy with it

Does anybody have any knowledge/experience with the L119A2 style rails? I’ve seen the angry gun version but on the fire support page it was on about turning bits on a lathe to make it fit...... has anybody purchased one or one similar? thank you!

My MWS which I’ve had for a month or so now, skirmished with it once and what a fantastic gun! It’s got a Six G nub now after reading this thread and a modify tan bucking on the way
