You have airsoft Heli’s!? ?

Wait till you get hit by the 40mm BB ?

You must be really into your CQB Stick bomb and Luger

Same, i rifle right / pistol left. Its great because you can draw secondary whilst putting primary down I optimise my belt for pistol, and rig for rifle.

Honestly if you want a NGRS as a backup gun / or something with a little more fire power then all it needs is deans connectors, decent battery, Prommy 6.03.

As with everything in this world, there are 100 sub standard, disposable junk products produced for every decent one. Its no wonder theres so much land fill and material waste. TM are one of the few decent products for sure, enjoy your MWS!

Wolf Amouries has something in stock!?!?!?

Hi @SeanW yes indeed, just had a bit of a Covid issue here last few weeks hence the general quietness. Hopefully back to normal in the next few days.

Haha me too, I use a RS MRO, but I wouldn’t want to test it ? Cant just ask the ‘armoured’ for another one lol

When putting film on make sure the lens is as clean as possible, and apply it with a little very mild fairy water misted onto the film and lens. Then squigee it out, this will give the clearest view / best bond I know people worry, and it’s understandable with replica optics but don’t forget that the likes of Eotech etc are ballistics rated and will take ridiculous punishment, like 2M drops with the full weight of the gun above it - and keep zero, let alone not cracking the lens etc!

@RMDavis shes looking fine for sure, i think you need to weather the rest of it a bit, the 551 looks ace, looking a bit tired will only add to the authenticity of an 'older' build. Maybe some distressed / worn off FDE, residual in the creases of the reciever mouldings etc? The 551 should put up with BB joules no bother, i would get some 3M heli-tape and just put a layer on the front lens to take the sting out of a BB strike.

And TBH in this current pandemic you blink and miss 2 weeks ?

I requested some parts the other day and got a lead time of 2 weeks to dispatch.

Tighten the barrel nut

The MWS trigger function and reliability is perfect. However it is a bit mushy, and the wall/reset are weak and slightly variable. This can be improved upon as mentioned recently and historically in this thread.

@Hypokondrikern The MWS itself is pretty lightweight, especially with a modern hand guard/rail. The trigger set is proprietary ZET system, you’d be a fool to change it out, all made of steel, and superbly reliable. The buffer tube and receiver are also high quality aluminium, and the receiver is cerakote’d.

On TM mags normal air is dispelled from the full valve whilst gassing up. Thus you fill with gas, hissing is normal air vacating the mag, then when you get a spurt of gas/liquid the mag is brimmed.

OP Foxtrot Romeo Oscar ?

^^^ ?

Not particularly, the reason is because of the sprung nozzle buffer device, the like of the GHK M4 /all other GBBRs do not have this, so the bolt crashes (clacks) into the hop unit. The MWS bolt decelerates into the hop unit.

Yup, id personally sooner buy a bog standard MWS and make my own MK18 without PITA parts.

As above the gearbox and compression parts are very good. I have owned 3 and built others for customers to varying levels but you don’t need much. The gear set is also very good quality - DO NOT CHANGE THEM! This is all you want parts wise; ZCI high torque motor with ICS pinion Prometheus EG barrel 455mm Prometheus type 2 cylinder Renew the piston head O ring Nice bucking and nub Gate PicoAAB Alpha Wire 16awg 11.1V LiPo New ICS spring if it’s sat around for years. Renew ICS parts in the lower receiver related to the cut off lever - I cannot remember the part numbers but if you look in your manual at the parts diagram you can order them direct from ICS. This keeps fire selector semi issues at bay. Free upgrades / work; Re shim the gearbox. Set motor height. Polish / de burr the gearbox shell. Check all air seals. Support the inner barrel agains vibration. Shim the hop unit toward the gearbox 0.5mm-0.75mm, this fixes double feed. Icing on the cake, semi pro job; Ditch the trigger contact assy and replace with a micro switch, short stroke the trigger. Yes I like the ICS L85 ?

@occidio so it does make sense, a GBB auto volumes, which yes I agree if you fastidiously volume matched an AEG cylinder you could achieve ‘nearly’ the same affect AKA joule creep. I say ‘nearly’ because there is something about the way a GBB accelerates a BB, until the floating valve closes. AEGs simply cannot accelerate the BB in the same manor, I think this is down to the short stroke of an AEGs piston, circa 40mm. As such to get DMR FPS the spring is very strong, so the BB is ‘popped’ more than accelerated. A BASR has a much longer stroke allowing for better acceleration.

Owing to the nature of Gas power they are better performing as a DMR than an AEG powered one would be, froma an energy transfer point of view. Obviously they are not magical so will not perform as well as a proerly sorted BASR. IMO and experience, fully worked airsoft guns generally are capable of the following measured EFFECTIVE RANGE; 500 fps BASR - 95M 430 fps MWS DMR - 80M 430 fps AEG DMR - 75M 340 fps AEG - 65M

Humbrol “dark brown” aerosol is the best FDE colour I’ve come across, I find Magpul FDE more like tan/too light
