THE TM MWS thread

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 ?


I just got an email from Rainbow8...

Looks like my mags will be going on a little cruise and will arrive in the UK via sea mail... ?

I'd imagine that's going to take a month at a minimum!

Ah well, it is what it is!

My mws isn't going to get here for a couple of weeks anyway, and my MK16 rail is on back order with HAO so I'm in no rush. 

Ordered a SixG super nub from Dave yesterday also. ?

Currently on page 50 of this thread on my laptop taking notes as I go! 

EDIT: decided to cancel my order with Rainbow8 after thinking on it... will just have to wait until UK suppliers get stock,  or Air mail is back in operation.

Firesupport have type 89 mags in stock


Cheers bud, I've seen those but although they physically work. They're not 'legit' which is important to me.

However if it's of any interest to anyone, I spoke to Camoraids and they have 50+ mags arriving in the next 3 weeks.

You can preorder to insure your allocated some from that stock. 

I promptly ordered 5! ?

 
Hi guys, 

I am running into an issue where after prolonged use of my mws, I noticed that the nozzle head is slowly scrapping bits of the hop up rubber off at the runners ‘s entrance inner layer. I am using the tan modify bucking and I am wondering if anyone ran into the same issue as me?

I think that your problem can be spring nozzle or piston head nozzle . Modify tan is the better bucking for mws and 0 issues. 

 
The Modify Tan is great for sub 350 fps, but its improved performance comes at the cost of reduced lifespan - it performs better because it is made from a softer material.

They do also suffer from QC issues from time to time.

The standard TM bucking is in my eyes the best available.

 
Here are some pieces that didn't make it to my current build but might be of use to someone else. Mws barrel ring, ambi selector and high speed buffer. 
 

pm me if you’d like them all

Type 89 magazines in stock with FireSupport, although I guess no one is in a mad rush for mags at the moment!

Not sure what the difference between a MWS and Type89 mag is...I think it is just the finish and some slight cosmetic differences?

Hole marks in mag.

... and it has a little more slack , but 100% functionally

 
I'm intending on using propane with my MWS, and I've seen that the Coleman bottles seem to be pretty popular from Go Outdoors.

I just wanted to know what propane adaptors use or reccomend? There seems to be plenty of generic ones on ebay etc but I didn't want to waste my money on something poorly made!

Hi, I think most people would agree the Airsoft innovations polymer-nozzled adapter is the best - I bought mine from Firesupport.co.uk but I've just checked and found that they are out of stock though.

I believe they are up to version 5 which is a blue one over the older tan which folks have used for years without a problem but the main point to note is the polymer nozzles not the strengthened metal nozzle is best.

I've managed to find the older tan one on ebay alongside the 'high strength' steel version.

They also sell an 'oil pump' that allows you to lubricate the whole propane bottle in one go?

I assume that's not worth it and more of a gimmick? I guess you can lubricate the mags as you go instead?

 
personally I've never bothered. I just top up my mags with a squirt nuprol 2.0 after the games finished just to keep the seals in good nick. (for some reason it's a fantastic maintenance gas ?)

the lube free nature of the propane is also part of the reason I use it as it improves consistency/doesn't coat your hop rubber in silicon quite as badly.

The ai oil pump turns your can of "top gas" (read propane) into green gas by forcing a very lightweight silicone oil into the can under pressure.

I've only been doing the gbbr thing for a year now but from what I've read here and on other sites that can inadvertently be a bad thing. (Feel free to jump in and correct me if I'm wrong here folks) A few people myself included run their mags dry i.e. propane only - not green gas to prevent silicone contamination of the hop up bucking and to aid accuracy.

I tend to take my mags apart depending on how much hammer they get every now and again and use that silicone ai oil to lube the seals directly by just putting a few drops into the fill valve hole after taking the base off, spring and follower after brushing out where the bb's reside with a bore brush.

After use maintenance is as per wolf's guide on pg 1-3 of this feed. I do tend to strip the bolt down occasionally and clean and lube the seals in there with one or two drops of tippman silicone oil also to help keep things consistent as it can get a bit black in there after a bit.

Thanks for the advice guys!

I managed to find an ebay seller with the Airsoft Innovations adapter in stock (plastic version)

Based in Israel of all places! ? I've ordered two incase I have any issues.

 
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. 
Currently ,JkArmy is a joke ....i placed my order on 15 April, still nothing....,anyways Surface allowed ...

Rainbow8 sent my parcel within 2 days both located in HK so Wtf?

Jk is more expensive but in return for it they are fckn sloths..

I find a 10h version as long as we waiting for ???

Seriously?! : (( 

it could have arrived by now if it was sent pronto with surface transport... 

just sent them an email to see what’s going on. 
 

I have much trust in Rainbow8 but they were out of black pmags which forced me to go looking somewhere else. How did Rainbow send your parcel? Surface or air? 

 
Pmags or stick with metal mags?

Not got my MWS yet but in the process of ordering. I prefer the pmag look as apposed to the old school metal mags, but I want performance over looks, so is there any difference? Good or bad

Jkarmy haven't got surface option I meant "IF" they would sent via surface ..1.5 month ago.....I've already written for them .
Sorry about the pmags that was me mate :D:D:D R8 sent via surface 30-54 days should be better than wait for the airmail service .

Just check BadaBing's Facebook post not bad not perfect but maybe worth a try.
If you feel inside the hero its looks easily fixable with a dremel.
