THE TM MWS thread

[Cipher-032]

Has anyone had trouble threading aftermarket barrel nuts into the mws receiver? I had a madbull Viking rail and could only get it threaded in about 1/4 of the way. Didn’t want to start retreading things so sent in back and put my normal front end back on

LUBRICATE the threads! Bit of silicone grease will help. Don’t cross thread and don’t force it on. Make sure your using the right barrel nut.

my PTS nut was rough to fit first but a smidge of grease every other removal makes it slip on easy.

Could make a sexual joke but I won’t.

@_FIL_ I was using my MWS on Saturday (stock, approx 14°c) with Nuprol 2.0 without issue. 

I'm not sure if this will help as a point of reference.

Which gas are/were you using? Have you check for gas leaks?

Gas leaks in the mags, rifle or both?

mags seem to be ok as I don`t hear any gas coming out...

Don`t know about the rifle though or how to check it... Its an MTR16

this is the gas I was using:

@_FIL_ I was thinking of your mag's in relation to possible leaks.

I can't comment on that particular Green Gas as it's not one I've ever heard of, let alone encountered. The actual capacity of the MWS magazines is pretty good out of the box and it'll take more than you realise, I'd suggest avoiding the Green Gas mod until you're used to how much they take as overfilling can generate issues (at least from what Badabing communicated to me).

I think it's discussed earlier in the thread about how much to fill the mag's with (or I could be thinking of a video), it might be worth having a look through the earlier pages of this thread. I realise that we're up to 44 pages and growing but there is a lot of useful information amidst the general conversation/discussion.

@FreeFrag.UK Overfilling could explain what I am doing wrong...

Going to check if I can find the post where the mag filling is explained, as you suggested, as I myself remember reading it while going over the thread.

Thank you.

This thought just occurred to me...

The mags and rifles sat on customs check for 5 months (I know ?).

Could this time have affected the mags somehow?

Like a dry O-ring somewhere for example? Any thoughts @FreeFrag.UK?

That`s the gas I bought from my local store you can see it featured here.

Thinking of ditching the WE M4 and going Team MWS. Found the m4a1 carbine for considerably cheaper than the CQB-R but ultimately aiming to get a CQBR length barrel. Noticed that the Dytac mil-spec outer barrels are out of stock anywhere, are they any alternatives? Saw theres quite a few decently priced G&P barrel sets floating around for the MWS, anyone had experience with them?

Amazing treasure trove of info here, this is just planning right now though as I cant afford the MWS just yet...

 

[FreeFrag.UK]

@_FIL_ If there's a leak I'd have thought that would hear it. To be honest my GBB experience is mostly with pistols. My thought on the overfilling was only if you had carried out the green gas mod, this wouldn't really apply to the stock magazines.

@Wo1f is the resident guru for all things MWS but there are also various others around who might be able to be of more help.

Morning gents, yet more random questions I'm afraid, 

continuing the efforts to build up a second upper receiver set,

1) does anyone know how the Laylax hop unit compares to the original TM one as at E6's prices the Laylax hop chamber is considerably cheaper and IIRC Laylax stuff tends to be good. For comparison Ive seen the Laylax chamber at £25 in several places, E6 are charging £10-12 per piece for the TM original bits.

2) Ejection Port Cover RS compatibility, once again its looking a damn sight cheaper to get one from Brownells than buy the bits individually from E6, as in a complete set springs, bar etc can be had for ~£7 rather than E6's £10 for just the "port cover and you'll need to buy the rest of the bits individually".

Thanks in advance.

I have finally joined the club when I picked up my MWS yesterday!!!

I went for the CQBR version and I am blown away by it!! I gassed up a magazine when I got home and wow. Absolutely love it!!

i picked up some more magazines and I received 2 super nubs from Six Gunsmith (Thanks for the 1 day turnaround Dave!). Just waiting for the Modify Tan buckings to turn up. I have yet to do the green gas mod but my other half is out tonight getting her lips done (!!) so will tackle it then.

just wanted to thank everyone for the amazing information and help and I am pleased to be a member of Club MWS ?

I know we all mod the sh1t out of the looks of these, but as they go I think the TM CQBR looks and feels fantastic straight OTB.

If anything they only niggle is the slightly slack buttstock, but it still looks right on.

Enjoy @RobHedley

Cheers @Davegolf, I know what you mean. I was planning on changing the front rail but now I have it in my hands I love the look of it.

one question I do have for the MWS collective is, I have a red dot holosight that I want to fit to the CQBR however the front sight blocks aiming. I remember reading about someone removing it and having problems with the stock front rail? I may be wrong. Also I saw that someone had posted about a replacement front sight that folder flat in line with the top rail. My question is do I need to do something special or can I just remove it??

cheers guys

 

[L3wisD]

Would a rail riser help you clear the sight post?

 

[RobHedley]

I was hoping to avoid using one to keep

the sight as close to the barrel as possible for quick sighting.

if that’s the only option then I will go that way.

If you focus on the thing you're shooting at with both eyes open, rather than focus on the reticle, it shouldn't matter.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the tm rail isn't made for use without the frontsight. Removing the it will make the rail wobble. So you could or buy another rail, or maybe fabricate something from the frontsight. Let me know if you have found an option, I have the same problem with the front sight. 

 

[Davegolf]

You can get folding front sight posts, but as @Jimmeh stated, a red dot / holo sight is intended to be used with both eyes open, if you are looking at your target the dot is essentially super imposed in your vison, you will not notice the FSP.

I oesnt take much googling to see the vast quantity of active duty RS CQBR's running Eotechs (which run low), other sights like the Aimpoints sit higher, I find higher better if wearing goggles personally.

Also if an Eotech style holo, it is meant to align with the front A-sight.

stick some  soft side velcro into the stock and slide it back  on and no more wobble

How about a Yeaaaaaaaaaaaah or are you saying Eotech don't know their own products?
