Angry gun do a milspec buffer tube that doesnt require rethreading your reciever.....
Have you used it? What's it like?

I'm looking for something bulletproof, set it and forget it with a nice smooth action and good coatings.

 
Can anyone shed some light on the roller bolts that g&p have listed for the bolt carrier? There seems to be 2 different types. What’s the difference between the 2? And also are they worth getting?

There is the one that fits the TM buffer tube and the other one (labled the MWS004 or something) that is ONLY for the G&P buffer tube (larger diameter than the stock TM one)

Not used one as I ordered the wrong one and Fire Support were out of stock by the time I had returned it.

 
Has anyone replaced the original buffer tube?

Looking for some recommendations for the best metal buffer tube, multi positional, that will accept a real magpul MOE/CTR stock.

I've been advised elsewhere that I should pick up one of these: https://www.fire-support.co.uk/product/gp-marui-gbb-mws-roller-bolt-for-mws004-tube?fbclid=IwAR1-PjelhQ1OqMow7YvV7h6vBXpOUu-i7ZqSxwSRZ7ACisYAfKutzpHRsX0

to go with a real buffer tube or one of these: https://www.redwolfairsoft.com//redwolf/airsoft/Accessories_Grips_and_Stocks_GBB_G_P_6_Position_Buffer_Tube_for_Tokyo_Marui_M4A1_MWS_GBBR.htm

I am under the impression that, if I went for a real buffer tube, that I would have to rethread the receiver as although they have the same thread size and pitch as TM, the cut is different.



Can anyone confirm if those 2 parts above are good or recommend alternatives? Can anyone also confirm if I would have to rethread the receiver if I pick up a real tube from Brownells?

Thanks in advance!
As said, if you want to use a real buffertube you will have to rethread. I did it myself a few weeks ago to fit my real steel Strike Industries buffertube. Because the threading is so close to real steel the rethreading took about 2 minutes with the right tool. Added bonus is that non-real steel buffer tubes still fit aswell.

On my old MWS I had the Angry Gun milspec buffertube however. Not had at any problems with it, nice finish and all, nothing bad to say about it but compared to the Strike Industries buffertube the finishing wasn't AS good although that may differ per buffertube. The other tubes you link I have had no experience with by the way :) .

 
Sorry if this has already been written about and I've just missed it but has anybody has their hopup wheel come unset when shooting? Currently mine undoes almost one click per shot, meaning my hop can go from fully engaged to fully off in less than a magazine. Anyone had this happen or know of a fix?

Yea just last week. Take out your BCG and press on the hop up unit assembly with your finger if u feel any bit of movement, it has come loose. You’ll have to disassemble the barrel and tighten the retaining screw holding the hop up assembly in place. After you’ve done that there should be no more movement in the hop assembly and that should be you sorted

Ahh my bad, thanks for the answer though ?

 
I guys, 

I know there are several upgrades we can do on a mws, but I want to give you this "challenge".

If you guys, could choose just one upgrade to do on your MWS, what would it be? 
I mean, what is the "must have" upgrade for you?

SixG nub or Laylax hop arm - so you can lift heavy (0.30g+) BBs that get the best from the system.

SixG buffer spacer would be my next suggestion.

Looks like G&P is releasing a drop in bolt carrier set for the MWS, and it comes with the roller attachement for either the stock or G&P buffer tube:



 
Soon to be a member of the fine MWS club!

Was fortunate to try one for the first time last summer at South Coast CQB and it left a lasting impression...

Sold my TM MP7 GBB to help fund the purchase, and now awaiting the arrival of an MWS CQBR (will stick some photos up when it arrives)

I have a very long shopping list but I know what I want to do with it!

Its staying all black, and will be the complete opposite of my battle worn TM MK18 NGRS.

Awaiting HAO Industries to get stock on their 9.3" MK16 m-lok rails and then go from there.

I really struggled finding any UK stock for MWS mags, and no suppliers I contacted had anything imminently arriving. 

So I've taken a risk and ordered 5 mags from Rainbow8, who I have used before but what with all the craziness going on who knows when they will arrive!

Right I'll shut up now, and continue reading this thread which is a gold mine of information! ?

Picture of the MK18 (that will undoubtedly take a back seat as a back up now)

So far I've had no problems ordering from Asia really RMDavis, can't say I even noticed any delays. Ordered a few things from Angry Gun, ShooterCBGear, Samoon and J.K. Army, all arrived within about a week, mainly depending on customs. Not sure how UK customs fare compared to Dutch customs though so your experience may differ. Also, pre-welcome to the club!

On a sidenote, having just completed my Block II FSP I want to move forward to another project, thus selling some bits and bobs of my build, including a bunch of original MWS parts that I have replaced with Strike Industries parts (my Strike rifle being the only complete MWS I'm keeping at the moment). Figured I'd post here first as I'd prefer getting rid of everything in 1 go.

If you are interested in (preferably) the whole package or have questions regarding the parts, send me a message. The grip, stock, rail ladders and XTM kit are real Magpuls, the sights are PTS Griffin Armament replica's with offset and normal mounts, the rail is a Cerakoted Madbull rail. The charging handle, flashhider and suppressor are Angry Gun and the PEQ15 Green laser and the flashlight are Element.

That sounds swell. I just ordered some MWS pmags from JK Army and got the impression of that I wouldn’t see them until the end of the summer. 

 
I can feel the pressure rising, lot of weight on my shoulders...I'll probably get kicked off this forum if they don't deliver within a week ?
