@Cyberlawyer thats a dedicated airsoft collection! Can you post a pic of all three?

Glad you enjoyed your day out, kinda You definitely want to be running powerful gas or MAPP at lower temps to get the best from the MWS. That will get you on pace and snappy. Also standard mags, dont cut those gas tubes - we have found them to negatively affect FPS consistency and worsen cooldown. The only downside i find with MWS vs AEG in woodland is if you need a burst to guarantee a hit through dense cover. Otherwise your heavy ammo (hopefully you were running 0.32- 0.36s?) should always come up trumps on distanced single shots.

No that is all good, its partly the reason your part broke, the buffer is at too high a speed when it stops.

You could cut it off square so it has a flat end, cut some rubber discs same diameter as the buffer tube ID or something that add upto the length that is missing from the the Buffer part B, so the buffer spring holds them in place. That way if you do want to keep using it the buffer wont be over travelling.

Hi, the Modify Polymer buffer will be fine, its jsut all the heavy metal roller wierd ones you wnat to avoid.

@Hypokondrikern just fire the gun off so it is not stored ‘cocked’ then all the springs will be released. @TadsJ2 that broken part is called ‘buffer part B’, get a new one, keep the TM buffer but run a HSB spacer with it and this will not happen again. The TM Buffer is the most gas efficient and fastest cycling, as well as not damaging the buffer tube.

@Hypokondrikern If you’ve run the gun hard for 2 years that trigger set definitely needs some loving! The while gun should be well work hardened by now, and would greatly benefit from a ‘trim’ up ?

Selfie so we know it’s actually yours ?

I like the gun oil as it washes dirt out but on the flip side will attract light dust. So on that basis depending on how dirty a day you’ve had ? flush it out at then of the day or remove it/clean/reinstall. Same goes for all cleaning, depends how shitty you get the gun You know if you drop a mag business end in the dirt then your an idiot if you stuff it in the gun ?

Have a good look for burrs or marring over on edges of the trigger parts

Just loctite permanent parts, GBBs are basically vibrators ?

Can we stay in FPS pls ?

Welcome! Dont 100% quote me on this, I’m sure other MK18 owners will be able to confirm/deny as I have not had one in my hands yet... Theoretically you could replace the barrel nut and whole rail system with any other MWS compatible aftermarket rail. But you have already got it so i would just buy the proper tool, and maybe get the rail Cerakote’d in Midnight Bronze ?

Prommy purple was for AEGs. The TM MWS original bucking https://eagle6.co.uk/shop/catalog/product/view/id/2612/s/tokyo-marui-m4a1-mws-hop-unit-hop-rubber-for-m4-gbbr-series/

Hi! Yes as of this time, I have not come across a holistically good bucking that can outperform AND outlast the original TM bucking. You’re right on there, in a GBB your dealing with expanding volumes, temperature and pressure changes. In an AEG, as long as that motor pulls your stored energy (spring) back you’re getting a repeatable output.

Yes power tuning is all in the floating valve for the most part, the rest is efficiency/air tightness

Is the piston seal lubed or dryed out?

480mm

Interesting, I just chrono’d a customer CQBR, 250mm 6.03, Modify tan, Super Nub, HSB, stock valve, otherwise stock, freshly serviced ? With Abbey Vertex @ similar temperature; 360 FPS

@RMDavis Old Skool Kool

Pretty much all Angry Gun parts only succeed at making people angry about their guns ?

Still a retarded design by TM

TM NGRS gear specifically are made of cheese, you’ll end up with a round last sector tooth before long with an M95

Yeh I mean the longbow sleeve is essentially 1 normal guide ring and 1 looong guide ring. Ultimately to stabilise something you need 2 contact points over a distance, the sleeve is just adding friction surely. If a cylinder and 2 rings are properly sized you won’t have any play. The other issue with airsoft BASRs is that when cocking the bolt we are pulling a big ass spring, whereas a real rifle is just loading a round and cocking the trigger/sear. If you pull close to the centreline there is a lot less side loading. Yes compared to even TMs I’m really impressed with the quality, yes they put some cheap parts in, but they are easily replaced parts which is the right way to make a decent gun and sell it cheaply, impressed!
