    Forward venting blank firers have been illegal for some time, top venting blank firers made by certain manufacturers (predominantly Turkish) are now illegal, both classed as s5 firearms. The amnesty runs from today till the end of the month.

    There’s subtle differences between what the RM and Rangers get (NSPA G4 don’t have the “Crye Precision” tape labels on the pockets) and the G4s issued elsewhere though, so there’s a difference in value.

    Stock really, nothing fancy - iron sights, a few had the torch mount handguard. In my second career, they were used with shorty mags and, I think, EoTech 512 before we converted to the 416A5, although they were removed from inventory before I joined the team.

    Used them in COP too, same timeframe. Great in vehicles - much easier to manipulate and work around than a bullpup.

    It’s not a perfect fit, little bit of wobble, but absolutely acceptable for airsoft, or operations…

    They fit in a Blackhawk Serpa CQC for 1911 too…

    THE TM MWS thread

    Davet replied to Wo1f's topic in Gas Guns

    Hello MWS enthusiasts, new owner here for first foray into gas. Got myself an M4A1 on a good secondhand deal for a setup I’m going for but, unsurprisingly, already going down the rabbit hole… I’d like to have the option of a 10.5” barrel for a CQBR build as well, seen various photos when Googling that suggest the outer barrel forward of the FSP can be unscrewed and a shorter extension added, despite trying to search the thread, not really coming up with anything so far. I have a stock barrel, am I on the right track or do I need to source a complete 10.5” outer/get a modular barrel kit? Thanks in advance…!

    The fairly vanilla AR collection - 1. newly added secondhand TM MWS M4A1 for a Lone Survivor inspired set up (and my first foray into gas), not going full nerd as I don’t have the time or funds, needs a paint job and, if I can find a cheap one, an M203; 2. VFC HK416A5 in a configuration I’m extremely familiar with, other than the TacBelts sling and a lack of magnifier; 3. Specna DD Mk18 AEG for a more modern SOF style look. 1 and 3 for woodland games in God’s plaid/tan or MultiCam, 2 for indoor/CQB wearing black. At some point, there might be a CQBR if I can find and afford a second MWS upper.

    NB Tactical Ghost or Fortis - the benefits of mesh protection, without the disadvantages of straps and buckles, I use one with Peltors no problem.
  11. Davet
    I do. Bit like how I feel about P226 and G17… You must’ve got one of the decent ones then - from what I’ve been able to dig up, the WE model is 50/50 hit and miss.
  12. Davet
    Absolutely, read it, but it is ultimately 8 years old and things can change. Also, there isn’t a whole lot of real detail by way of comparison - somebody who doesn’t own any of the different versions has just posted details from Google.
  13. Davet
    I’ve always been a 226 fan, having used all three pistols the army’s issued over the last 20 years - the Browning HP was nice but a bit small, the Glock’s good but I always found it a bit boxy, the 226 was a nice chunky feeling pistol that just worked for me. So I’m looking at reliving my Herrick days and getting a new sidearm. Obviously, everybody raves about the TM and it’s 1-1, but it’s plastic and not full weight. What other decent options are there out there that fit the 1-1, metal, realistic weight criteria…?
  14. Davet
    Does this count…?

    A well established and organised logistic chain to support, from organic in-house CQMS at tactical level all the way through the effort to deliver strategically - Mulberry Harbour anyone?
  18. Davet
    but don’t carry too much…!
  19. Davet
    https://www.britishtactical.com/hl-eud-panel/ British designed and made, genuine innovation. OK, maybe a little more expensive than AliExpress, but if you don’t mind spending a bit more, definitely worth it, I use one on my work rig.

    Remember that test well… 😂
  21. Davet
    I know. Unfortunately irony/sarcasm doesn’t come over too well in print/black and white… 😂
  22. Davet
    They’ve even sent you the wrong cocking lever to boot - says it’s for an A2 on the packaging…
  23. Davet
    You think it’s heavy now, wait til it gets wet… 😂
  24. Davet
    Tried that, not really bonded with the ShadowFoam… 😐 I’ve got carpet tape to try and then No More Nails, but that’s the nuclear option.
  25. Davet
    @Jez_Armstrong how have you secured the ShadowFoam into the case so the entire layer doesn’t just fall out of under the weight of the kit? Nearly finished all my cutting and shaping and thinking about how to fix it in - double sided carpet tape, spray glue, something else…?
