are these all brand new mags? I've been filling mine up for over a year with propane on standard valves and i can't work out why people have issues.

Never ran them personally but I know a guy with an MTR who’s had nothing but problems with them from fitment to gassing out. They’re like the 20 round mags. Buy 1 if you want to take a picture for a look, but nothing beats the original 35 rounders for in game.

mine's not arrived yet but ive ordered the vortex too. Worth it all day long in my opinion. never loose zero because it's real steel and the warranty is fantastic. Why sped £50 on an airsoft replica that'll either break or get shot out. I can shoot out a vortex and they'll just give me a new one, no questions asked.

They’re very snappy. Can easily use them in woodland the range on them is that good.

@MikeMarden what’s the FPS with that barrel? I was getting 348 with the standard barrel on propane

You can get those and XM’s from the factory, right?

Already ordered. I thought the pre order thing may have been old as I know they did have some in stock. Not to worry though because I’m still waiting on a holster anyway.

A TM FNX, some mags and a Vortex Crossfire Red Dot. Shame I’m gonna have to wait an unknown number of weeks until Defcon gets their pre order in stock...

You’d struggle with the carry handle upper. You’d have to extensively modify a standard upper and bond/weld a handle to it and then file it all down.

I was hoping to have my FNX, but Defcon have no date for me when the next batch are due in. One is going in that, the other my mp7 and probably the other in my scar. I’m down to one Mws now and that’s got a special hop in it, so it won’t be getting swapped out for any bucking.

For those interested, this is the inside of the flamingo bucking @Cipher-032 I’ve got one to go in my mp7.

Well that’s disappointing. If it isn’t w vast improvement over the modify tan which is just a conventional hop up mound then they hype doesn’t match the results.

I have always used propane and always with the tan plastic airsoft innovations adapter. No issues on any TM or WE gbbr or pistol mags

No, I’ve never altered any of the valves on the magazines besides doing the green gas mod. With the flamingo you want a long contact patch concave nub. A maple leaf omega or a T nub will be a good start.

Fantastic post, mate. Some of the newer gen MWS’s have different float valves that lower the FPS. The gen 1’s were breaking the 1j limit in Japan under certain conditions so they changed it. With gas guns you’ll always get a larger joule increase than FPS increase though because it’s a self adjusting volume system depending on BB weight I was getting a 60ish FPS increase with a 410mm. It could be the amount of hop applied, or perhaps it isn’t creating a good seal with the bucking. If it’s consistent it shouldn’t be that though.

Did you press the sear after locking the hammer back?

Nothing wrong with the Orga at all. Performance was very good. I just prefer the steel of the Prometheus as it’s more hard wearing than brass. That Prometheus barrel is for the mws and will work fine 👍. the one in my mk12 project started off as an AEG barrel and was modified to work.

Orga is good. I prefer the Prometheus now as it’s steel. Pretty sure the EG barrel is AEG only though? Do they make an mws one? Mine is an aeg one but it’s a machined one off.

The valve is seated in the base at an angle. Have you got it lined up right?

A damaged fill valve does seem to be the only other alternative

Just fit the barrel you want as you don’t need to worry about it’s power level. Then if you want more power from it we can go from there. The gas warning is more for the plastic slide TM pistols. The mws is all metal so you’ve got no worries there. I’ve got one and it’s not let me down in years. The only problem I thought I’ve had with them is sometimes the plastic collar inside of the propane bottle is off spec and either doesn’t let any gas out or it pisses out the valve.

I want to buy another ten, but it will have to wait for another time 😂 stick with propane unless you live in colder climates. I don’t use Map gas anymore. I prefer to use Guarder power up gas. It seems to performs as well and doesn’t stink, which is a nice bonus.

Sold the gun that started this thread the other day. Miss it already. 😭

That’s the standard Mws barrel with the SPR (mk12) flash hider Any Mws spec barrel will fit, but the Dytac I know has the wider lip to fit aftermarket barrel nuts for rails. There are others with wider lips like the model works outer barrels, but I’m not sure about the rest
