THE TM MWS thread

[sonofsammo]

This thread is dangerous. 

Never wanted a gas gun, but it’s seriously tempting me. Damn this expensive hobby.

I have to say, it's been a rollercoaster so far!
However, today, it was all worthwhile - the number of people that gazed longingly, asked to hold it / asked about it was amazing.
I'm fairly sure at least one person will be showing up with one in the very near future.
Dave's custom airsoft has a finance deal on at the mo........  B)

<_<  Not helping. I have too many guns. And some not even finished yet. Maybe one day.

I’m currently building an HPA mag with remote bb feed for my Vector. If you’re carrying a backpack anyway, why not HPA?

This. dammit. I was weighing up pros and cons of the TM MWS and a GHK but might just pull the trigger so to speak on the TM.....

I don't know enough about it really. 

And would have no idea how to start myself.

What capacity will your mag be?

Havent decided yet, but at least 1000 rounds

I’m learning as I go ha ha

Offer is always there, mate!

personally I don’t find the mag capacity bothering me and if anything it adds to the excitement as well as increasing your skill level.

I’ve found using mine has made me a much better player. I think about my loadout as a whole.  Where my mags are, how fast can I draw my pistol, where I’m putting my empty mag etc. With a good setup and the instincts that will come over time with using a low cap, you’ll be a much better player as a whole regardless of what gun you’re using. 

Are you behind cover? Check your shots. About to enter a building or general enemy area? Mag change. If your gun shoots further than most, use it as an advantage. Get out of their range and then fire on them. There’s nothing more satisfying than playing for hours and realising you haven’t actually ‘died’ yet, because you’ve been playing smart. 

As for the hpa mag... while it doesn’t really interest me, you could mag clamp a stanag high cap to an mws mag, get some tubing like what m249’s use and have the high cap feed into the mws mag with a bit of dremelling, and then tap the bottom of the mws mag for a hpa valve.

Yeh I count out my rounds, that way you know where you are and sometimes you change mag prior to an assault or likewise.

@sonofsammo make sure to lube all seals and gaskets when assembling so that everything can seat in.

Got me another MWS mmmmmmm

To anyone on the fence, get one! You only live once hah!

I have mag envy  :lol:

Just ordered a guns modify CNC hop adjuster that’s going to go in the DMR. Hopefully it’s going to add a touch more consistency and adjustment.

Looks great! I do think they look great with an Acog. Need to get a sling mount for the front of mine.

Rainbow8 kindly emailed me and told me what I ordered isn’t in stock  <_<  so I’m not best pleased about that.. 

time to source it from somewhere else..

Hi all - Can anyone point me in the right direction for info on how to remove the front iron sight please?
It's driving me mental.

Also - any suggestions for a grip/stock/foregrip set? I'm thinking OD or maybe coyote.....

 

[Davegolf]

There is one small grub screw on the underside of the front sight unit, and there are 2 punch pins, you need to knock them out from the fire selector side / left side through to the mag release / right side.

Take note of the pins orientation so you put them back the same way around and in the same hole.

Cheers dude!

Next question -  Can any of you suggest decent replacement stocks? (and grips - I'm thinking FDE / coyote possibly)...

It's all gone horribly wrong.
Grub screw. Check.
Pins. Check.
Front piece of the handguard and inner metal rod moving - shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit 
What do I do now?
It seems I know enough to wreck a gun, but not fix it.
I was only taking it off to cheer myself up cos I can't shoot the damned thing.
Please help before I implode. Or break something else....

Ha punch that little pin out too just to the left of your red circle of doom

I leave that pin out on mine as its really not necersary and just slows disassembly!
