THE TM MWS thread

Hey!

I just got my new MWS. I'm pretty pleased with its overall quality, but got some issues with mainly two things. First is that the mag valve strikers (?) are metal and rattle pretty bad. IDK why i've always thought this part was plastic (maybe cause its black:) Was it always that way or maybe it is new mags version issue? (because I don't remember anyone mentioning this). The second thing is that the rail on top is not pefrectly alingned with front rail. When i put in a ruler it comes out that first teeth in front is about 1mm lower than the back of the receiver. its not terrible, but for my eye it shows a bit. I'm wondering if that could be corrected by dissasembly and reassebly of the barrel? For other minor things, the lower rail moves a bit, maybe i'll find a way to make it stiffer, also delta ring isn't firm and moves from angle to angle. And the stock looks cheap and rattles, but I've known this already. I'll see tomorrow how it shoots outside, it was dark and late when i got the gun, only made a couple of shots in my room. Awesome:) It is my first AR type replica (and also first GBBR:) and it looks and feels great. Only pistol grip is a bit uncomfy, the finger insert is not where it should be for my hands. Oh, and shoud i had made any maintenance before shooting for the first time? like cleaning barrel or sth?

Cheers

Yes, but you have to modify it a little with a file or dremel. On the other side to the picture there is a nub poking out, you need to file a section of it flush so it will sit in the lower of the gun. It will make sense when you try.

Any thoughts on the new drum mag?

Drum mags are for speedsofters and therefore, shit.

Embrace the low ammo count.

 
hi guys. just looking on some upgrades for my mws. does anyone have any info on the G&P roller bolt. is it worth it? thx

 
Use the standard bolt or a quality lightweight one if you want snappier cycle, no rollers, no angry gun crap.

The MWS doesn’t want for much, just fine tuning, trigger box work and cleanliness.

This.

I think this thread needs a new sticky so new owners can learn from some of our mistakes.

The only upgrades I would suggest are the supernub and an npas so you can run propane/green gas. Or anything for cosmetic reasons as long as it doesn't impact the internals OR (and I cannot stress this enough) it's not made by Angry Gun. 

I have bought and tried many parts from various manufacturers, alternative bolts from HAO ETC.  I've removed it all, apart from the g&p npas, super nub and a heavier buffer spring. Roller bolts are nonsense, a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. The stock hop rubber is good for .32+, its cheap and easy to get spares. The stock inner barrel is fine as it is. The trigger box is a bag of turd by design, improving it will just make it a slightly better bag of turd. 

I've wasted hundreds on "upgrades" which were downgrades in performance. There really is no need to go nuts. 

 
^this

As far as the trigger box goes I think it’s pretty good, definitely reliable above all else, but to make it work nice you really do have to work through a good 10,000 shots to allow all the parts in the trigger mech time to work harden.

Only then is it really worth stripping it down, de’burring and radiusing all edges, reassemble with real gun oil and you’ll find you then have a consistent wall, break and reset.

There will still be a small amount of creep but on the whole it is very satisfying to operate from that day forward ?

10,000 shots seems like a life time with a MWS :P

I've only shot about 1000 rounds through mine in the whole of 2021  ;)

And it's all stock save Dave's brass nub and HSB...

 
I’ve put about 500 through mine and all the creep/ grittiness has disappeared from the trigger now. 

For a stock trigger it’s more than adequate 

 
Hi Guys is the HURRICANE speedloader still the best option for our guns?! & Anyone know the best place to buy??? Any uk stockists??

Cheers John 

 
For those who cannot find a lightweight BCG, I recently picked up the HAO industries ecoline BCG. Initially it was only 40 grams lighter than the stock bolt, but then I swapped the BCG weight with the marui and I have a complete BCG that weighs 125 grams...Works like a champ.

On the note of upgrades, really just a 150% nozzle spring and Dave's nub is all you need. I am using a lightweight bolt for colder weather/DMR shot tracking purposes. Choose inner barrel to match velocity requirements and go...I easily have over 10K rounds through mine and I have had it for 8 months or so, I shoot it nearly every day. Love it to pieces!

 
Here is some game play of the MWS in mention(ignore thumbnail thats at the end of the video):

I’m gonna defend this item. It is far from needed but it made my alu bolt slightly snappier and gave the rifle a very satisfying sound. A sort of metallic rattle. 

But for the new club members. 
# HSB buffer 

# mod the nub or buy the sixgun nub

# actually bring the rifle to a skirmish!!!

 
I used my mws between Christmas and new year, 8degrees with asg green gas and .32 bbs

mods 

tan modify bucking

hsb buffer

sixg brass nub

out ranged most things on site, two full mags from each gas fill.

(no full auto though)

Very happy bunny

arp 9 users with drum mags are louder and provide a challenge to engage against but each hit is so rewarding

carrying 5 mags means a realistic 300 rounds before  regassing, based on my experience last week that is one full auto burst for some
