THE TM MWS thread

 So this happened. Modify tan just crapped on me after like 300 rounds. Back to TM I guess. I'm thinking a lemon? I used only Geoffs and g&g bbs. It was definitely working and definitely installed right. The nub is the six g one.

So my first one crapped out pretty quickly - tore inside. I installed my second one the other day to give it another go and I had terrible feeding issues. 2 out of 5 shots dribbled out of the barrel. I wonder if their quality control has gone down the pan or something. 

I have been having luck with a Maple leaf autobot (slightly modified) so far. 

 
I tried installing a BAD lever on my MWS too, it doesn't allow the bolt catch to engage properly either, I've tried filling the lever for a better fit, but I have a theory that its the weight of the lever that stops the bolt catch from engaging properly. I'm yet to find a solution.
I have a feeling that might be the case as well. maybe we can somehow change the spring?

I think its to do with the magazine pushing the bolt catch up, you can still lock back the bolt with the lever on by pushing up on the lever. I think the follower on the magazine doesn't have enough force behind it to lift the lever. Might require shimming the bolt catch or magazine follower, but thats complete speculation.

Edit: AND problem solved! See pic related, i wrapped a layer of electrical tape completely around the part that engages the bolt catch (interfaces with the magazine follower). Bolt catch works fine with the BAD lever now, just had to get my lazy ass to do it.

that sucks man :(  

i haven't put mine in yet, really doubting if i should though now.

Someone told me he sixgnub might cause rupture of the bucking. you think it might have caused it?

It's possible, overhoping and metal against rubber could cause damage like that I guess. Looks like it has been torn exactly where the bump is? My modify tan is looking really scrappy after maybe 100-200 shots as well ?

What bb weight were you using? 

Did you stay away from silicon oil with the bucking? 

i've been told there are other nubs made out of another material which are hard but not as hard as brass which could do the job. (probably not lifting .45 though ? )

only 200 shots is really bad but it's weird other people are reporting very good results. maybe it was a lemon, im really wondering now. 

I haven't bought the sixg nub yet as its pretty steep priced for non UK customers.

Only bb's I used were G&G and Geoff's. Both very good brands. The TM Bucking has lasted past 1000 rounds easy so no reason why the modify tan should die after a few hundred.

 
@Katana it shouldn't rupture after only 200 shots, but can you tell me what bb weight u used? .25   .30 or heavier? 

do you still have your tm bucking to replace it with? did you use the supernub with the tm bucking aswel and do you see any wear and tear? 

 
I used the sixG nub with both the modify tan and the TM. The TM is still going strong. I was using both 0.3g and 0.32g bb's, no obvious wear on the TM.

 
@Katana guess we can say it's not the nub that's causing the tear on the bucking. Probably the modify bucking is a lemon or their quality control is shite. 

 
Can anybody confirm that any outerbarrel wil fit the MWS or do i need to look for something in particular, ive seen the post on one of the first pages from @Wo1f where he states that the dytac has a wider "lip" so aftermarket rails will fit without pts ring. I'm looking for a 7 or 8" barrel/rail.

will any brand do or does it have to be a dytac? I really want a heat treated outer barrel, any tips? ?

nah just took off the upper completely so i didn't bang it around when wrapping the tape around the catch. I also discovered that if I have the screw for the bad lever on too tight then the catch won't engage, so make sures yours is a little loose (tiny bit of play between the 2 parts of the bad lever)

ok thanks for the tips. btw do you have the iron airsoft Pmag or tried using them? For some reason it isnt smooth at all when i put the pmag in. the original mag works perfectly and smooth. :/

nope, cant help you there, sorry.

 
I’m watching all the forums I can, I know that an MWS will be my next Airsoft purchase. If I can find a second hand one for a decent price I’ll be a member soon otherwise I’ll have to wait a few months ?
