Quick question what propane brand do you use for the mws

Well I decided I'm taking the MWS to the next game I'm playing on the 10th so I'd better have a go with it to see what's what.

Out the box on green gas (with the mags tube cut) it couldn't lift 0.28 over a short distance which was a shame.

So I've taken it apart (which was easier than expected, been putting it off...) and changed the bucking for the Modfiy Tan and stuck in the GHK little metal dumbbell shaped nub I had. It's lifting 0.3 with ease now. I'm not sure how dialed on the hop is but it's doing what it should so I'm happy.

Needs a proper field test really so I'll take the MWS and a backup (G&P M249) for the game. ? Get sum... :lol:

Is the GHK buffer heavier or shorter? To me, it seems like the BCG is going into the stock and then coming forward again before the ZET plate can catch it.  If your catch surfaces are good, on the plate and BCG, I’d try stiffer springs/ heavier buffer. 

Have you got any duster gas to test?

The GHK buffer i used was the light buffer with a spring on the end, namely this one:

I have just used Abbey Predator Gun Gas 144a and the bolt lock works perfectly every time.

FPS is down from 350 ~360 to 300FPS

Strange - but good - even at higher FPS than you've been running the ZET usually catches. Is the spring weak under the ZET?

 

[Wo1f]

@Shizbazki Definitely cycle speed by the sounds of it. 

Only other thing I can think of is have a look on the inside of the buffer tube and see if the bolt that holds the cap on hasn’t wound itself out and is stopping the buffer from going all of the way back in. I know the standard buffer tubes have the issue of the cap loosening over time. Would make sense as the spring on the FG buffer would go over the bolt, but the standard TM would hit it. You’ll need a LOOONG screwdriver though.

Yeh very long!

Which spring? the buffer spring or the ZET spring at the bottom of the trigger mech?

 

[Shizbazki]

Well i'm at wits end, the buffer tube cap screw was fine.

I can only think that when i do actually use the gun outdoor, the colder temps will cause the gas to lower its pressure so the bolt lock "should" work.

I have a light weight bolt catch (spanner thingy) on the way so i'll keep you guys updated.

Otherwise ill be using my GHK M4

Which does lock back.

^ He just sweared in here! Er ?

Yeh the spring that pushes the catch up.

Hahaha

Yeah i did stretch the magazine spring which i think is used to push the little nubbin up for the bolt catch.

The spring that attaches to the pin at the bottom the ZET mech seems to be ok, its under a lot of tension when i put the rod back in.

Where in the U.K. are you located? If you’re not far, I could have a look at it and compare it to mine 

 

[Shizbazki]

I live in London, North East side near Stratford.

Miles away from me sadly. North west.

Hi everyone, I'm just working on my first gas gun,  an MTR-16 and have installed a modify tan hop rubber. My gun is sitting around in bits waiting on a upgraded nub however as I've been unable to source a SixG Super Nub, and have been looking at the Laylax strike hop up arm as a possible alternative.  Has anybody tried one out?

Why cant you get a SixG ?  Just email Dave

I emailed from the page linked in this thread but didn't get a response!  Not sure who Dave is?!
