Yes if you compare the SAA to a genuine TM mag youll see the top plate is 'taller' than it should be, therefor holding the bucking away from the nozzle.
As is the case always with the MWS, keep as many stock parts as you can.
I did a lot of testing with a customers SAA vs TM mags (he had like 12 in total) and the SAA fill valve would not allow a full fill (tested by weight of liquid gas taken on), and as you found the exit valves spring pressure / knocker length isnt quite right either.
Yeh i completely get that, if you wanna run PMAGs you gotta shell out.
You neeed the SAA mags, TM fill and exit valves, sand down the top plate for correct insertion depth - this is what your FPS / gas route issue actually is.
Shame TM dont just make some modern mags, i mean come on Marui we are not still in the 80s!
Looking to HPA my TM M870 but want to run it on Sodastreams as it’s just more practical for me (location/transport/usage).
There a big array of regs out ATM, but which is the best to run atop Co2?
The bottle will be vertically mounted on the back of my rig.
I want one with minimal pokey out bits please.
The M870 is good in that HPA tapping it leaves a nice chamber for the Co2 to stabilise post reg.
Cheers

Used good condition rail system for the full size TM M870 shotgun.
Little tatty round the edges but fully functional.

I used both the stock TM barrel 50d and a Prommy MWS barrel 60d, the latter in a DMR setup @ 430fps.
I generally do not like Maple products, but was impressed with the MR + SuperNub combo, but it wouldn’t surprise me if you get ‘lemon’ Maple buckings.
Did you check for any moulding flaws and give a good fairy liquid scrub?
The Tan Modify buckings even years back when the QC was better, they still didn’t live long.
The Maple MR works well but needs modification to fit the MWS hop unit.
Definitely a 2 point, so versatile and easy to drive the gun.
If you haven’t already the the Ronin Tactics vids are great.
Ive always been a fan of ‘high ready’ and the 2 point makes it even better than when I used to run single point.
Liking the shottie holster!
Finally with Christmas play time managed to finish what I’m calling an AK105-VSU.
Tried and hopefully succeeded in painting it in such a way it works with both the GZ and RG load outs 🤞
Pre 2001 is the safe zone tax wise, love my Y61 Patrol. Best vehicle I’ve ever owned, will probably out live me 😂
Late but check all the vehicle chassis / engine earths.
Check your not losing fuel pressure / have a blocked fuel filter or fuel pump pick up.
Check no water, diesel or otherwise in the tank.
I take it you didn’t take that photo in the last couple weeks, t shirt weather WTF!
Definitely a svelt load out
I did just check you are in the UK, but with a Vauxhall and a Fiesta in the background I was assured 😂
That Humbrol is a Coyote Brown so it works well in woodland year round.
Krylon brown is very dark, great for contrast though.
If a DD M4 is your thing then get the handgaurd Cerakoted in midnight bronze, or if you have a black one do the oven trick.
Spray the rest of the gun in that Humbrol and weather it in 👌
