This is exactly how I feel about my outer barrel and suppressor right now

Don't talk to me about Angry Gun right now.... 😕

That is something I will ask him to check. I don't have to tools to get it apart but thanks a lot!

Do you think try it without the brass spacer then? Basically I don't have the tools to do any of this and there's a guy pretty well known in the L119 groups doing it for me. So each time I have to go to him and pay to correct. Not going to be able to try out the TM parts straight away.

Well the guy who put on the Angrygun L119 outer barrel and rail is blaming the fact I am mixing a TM hop with Angry gun outer. I. can't really see how it should affect it and he hasn't seen it since he put the barrel on and "Tested" It. I think this one must be fucked now.

Didn't see this one coming. Hop seems to be broken. Seems like it is stuck in place. Even if it is fully on or fully off it is making no difference to .28s. Going to test with .2 soon. But also no visible change at all when inspecting. I am about to order the Super Six nub so hopefully that will solve it but I can't see how this is even happening.

Yeah so I have now siliconed them and put abbey maintenance gas in. Still hearing the almost creaking sound on the outlet valve. Inlet is all fine. Weird that even underwater their is no bubbles.

Update on the leaky mags, I tried the worse sounding one in a bowl of water and the only bubbles where in the spaces between the shell and the actual mag. Going to try some maintenance gas on the rest. Any ides on how to get the water our the mag now haha? Despite no bubbles it is still making the noise.

So I think I have a lot of leaky mags. Not sure. About 3 weeks a go I purchased 3 new mags form fire support. Immediately ran some rounds through them and filled them about half way, as I do with all my other mags, for storage. Using Abbey Predator ultra. Just gone to do some test shots and all 3 are making some noises. Two are making snap crackle pop noises. Sort of a rustling and the third is similar but not as bad. I have 3 other mags that I bought with the gun a few months a go. Stored exactly the same way and no noises. What's going on here? leaks? Wasted 3 mags? I've heard you can simply put the magazine underwater to test for a leak, but I wasn't sure how I felt about submerging it as I am not going to disassemble it after to dry it

It sits too low and I have realised the piece of material I thought I should file will just end up meaning that it will slip back down overtime

Unlike the MK 18 DD rail on the mws haha

Has anyone successfully fitted a Magpul ASAP QD sling point. They are different to the ASAP and I am having problems.

Cheers. Gosh this is my 4th lockdown gun!

Yeah they seem to be very thorough, they will do all the work, reshim the gearbox. test it. Tell you what it's getting and if it isn;t to your liking you can ask them to change something. Oh spring guide should maybe help with trigger response then too? Ok sounds worth it. Not an expensive part

Yep. spent about 30 mins on the phone with Eagle 6 and have decided on Deans plus a spring upgrade but that's it. I will run the gears until they die and then upgrade them to steel in a year or so.

Good point. CQB is my closest site, literally the town I live in and so will probably be there a lot. But would get used in woodland a bit too if it is too cold for gas. Yeah I think the rewiring is a must and im still tempted by the spring upgrade but to be honest I am pretty happy with leaving it closer to stock. It is definitely easy to get caught up thinking you need every mod money can buy when you start watching videos from the likes of the heresy group.

Yeah Tan PTS and Magpul stocks are they way to go.

Somehow I feel like this is a worse feeling than actually losing, seeing as it was a pitiful win that didn't even cover the cost of my 4 tickets haha. Getting my hopes up. Making me click the drop down arrow. Bastards.

Random thought of the day. Has anyone ever built an old colt M16a2 based weapon off of a MWS lower/zet system. Anything from Colt command, XM177s, M16A2s, Carbines etc?

Yes I do love tampering with my MWS but it is all external mods only at this point and I have a tech doing it most of the hard stuff haha. The most I did was change the stock and pistol grip. (May do a nub, but just got the barrel and rail all shimmed nicely so fuck taking that off any time soon) I would definitely be getting the retailer to do all the work out of the box as yes I can see this train of events happening where you may as well upgrade everything. I am tempted by lonex steel gears although I see what you mean about having to crack it open for the spring. I know Camo raids offer all the nozzle stuff and O ring that you mention. Plus they have one in stock and eagle 6 don't yet. although I can wait. I have enough toys for now. I am leaning on either completely stock. Playing a few games and worst case send it back for some mods. I think that logic is best with this stuff. But yeah id likely do Spring guide, Steel gears, Spring. probably leave the hop alone for now actually. cheers for all the info. Oh one final thing. Seems like deans wiring mod is a must have? Are these things ok to run on Lipo. I haven't ever used Lipo and been out of AEG for a while. I assume just gives you better response on semi and better fire rate on auto. Out of interest you seem quite certain about eagle 6. Any bad experience with Camo or just all positive from eagle 6? Also this whole idea started as a cold weather back up for my MWS but for some reason I can see this becoming my main weapon and sidelining the gas guns haha.

Yep totally agree with you with wanting a quality weapon like a TM and not fucking around with it. but then I also think. If I am going to do upgrades. may as well get the retailer to do it out the box. I think you've convinced me though. I shall keep it stock. I didn't realise a spring upgrade would also require new gears and at that point you're fucking with the TM magic. What we really need is a TM international division that have all the same quality. Just with a few more FPS. Don't tempt me haha I have bought 3 guns in lockdown and haven't even received the third yet. I am very close to getting one of these. TM deliveries seem so rare that whilst a place has them I am tempted to get it. even if it won't see action for a few months Out of interest you going to run LiPo?

Oh I have read a couple of posts but I clearly missed this one. interesting I am so close to leaving it stock. Not sure I can live with 270 FPS when I want to run .28s though You're not even tempted by a spring upgrade

Yes it is one of those questions... I have been checking out similar threads and got a general vibe from them about this touchy subject, but I would like to ask some specific things out there as I haven't had an AEG in a long time. First of all, I want an NGRS. I get you can spend less and get a decent gun. It isn't about that. I have TM GBBRs and I like the realism and I also want something as a backup for colder months with similar quality and feel. Obvious answer is NGRS. I appreciate there's other stuff out there but I have sold myself on this. Now my main reason for wanting TM is it should be pretty good out of the box with minimal to no upgrades needed. My least favourite part of airsoft is upgrade, myths and maintenance. I would rather get someone else to do it all for me and thats why I trust the gods that are TM. I get they can be improved on but generally their QC is top notch. So the main things I want to learn are.... A) Should I upgrade anything? If I do it will likely be done out of the box from either Camo raids or Eagle 6. Haven't decided but leaning on Eagle 6 as Camo raids seem to offer some weird angle adjustment and nozzle stuff that I am sure is great but I want to keep as much stock as I can... B) How much should I upgrade? I think to obvious upgrade is the spring to get it close to 330/340 for my local CQB site. I will likely run .28s as use them in the GBBR But is it also worth getting the purple Prometheus hop and flat nub? seems like a common option but Like I said. Ideally want to keep as much stock as possible as I trust TM. C)Does the spring upgrade fuck anything up, such as accuracy? Obviously don't want to make some upgrades potentially harming performance in other areas unless I spend more... D) What's the deal with spring guide stuff...? Camo raids seem to recommend it. Is it an upgrade on an existing part? I need to check if eagle 6 will offer it as their site doesn't mention it. but presumably if I do the spring also need to do the spring guide. Honestly no idea on this bit. Finally E) Camoraids or Eagle 6? My main reason for not wanting to upgrade tooo much is obviously related to cost but I also have considered leaving the thing purely stock. I just want a bit more FPS out of it tbh but I have hear very very good things about stock NGRS. I feel like a lot of the insta and YouTube culture is that you must spend over 1k on an NGRS to make it worth it and it kinda seems like diminishing returns. considering how good the stock one should be... at least I think. P.S It's gonna be a MK18 I think.. which reminds me. Lipo mod it right? thats just a wire change? I honestly don't wanna fuck with the gears haha So to summarise my kinda final spec would be NGRS MK18 Stock barrel, Spring upgrade, Stock hop rubber and nub or purple prometheus Rewire for LiPo. Stock motor Stock gears and gearbox Stock nozzle and other air components Let me know if you spot any flaws

Yeah after reading the updated guidance it seems like the site from the video is in the minority and probably incorrect

Well this aged well
