THE TM MWS thread

Can someone please clarify would the attached valve removal tool work with Tm m4a1 mags - Steep at £21 posted - if anyone knows where I could find a compatible one cheaper it would be appreciated!

Alright Gents!

just got my MWS a couple days ago and proceeded to install the magpul BAD lever. Was told by Kakasi on IG that it would work with no modification. It did not. Im assuming that as was stated waaay earlier in this thread that the lever is too heavy for the magazine spring to push up. What was done was to wrap some tape under the bolt catch. I took it a step further and super glued some material under it. Its about two credit cards thick of material for those about to ask how thick it should be. The bolt catch now works 110% of the time. Attached are pics for those wishing to install the BAD lever. Youre welcome

Yep, same for me, I installed it, it failed to lock back, I wound out the buffer tube two rotations and it worked.  My problem with it, as much as I loved it was that it failed to allow the ping-pong paddle to come out enough from the lower receiver which prevented the zet plate to come up enough to lock forward and although it worked perfectly I was noticing additional metal fragments appearing in the lower receiver.

To remedy this I tried to bend out the b a d lever culminating in me cracking the anodising like a f'ing mong and getting v upset with myself for flushing £35 down the crapper.

Well I was warned.

I reckon though if you have mad metal work skills this could be made to work, unfortunately I've been dropped in too many times on my head and I couldn't.

Good luck.

This is why I'd rather use the MTR 16 as the base for an ambi build. Everything else would get replaced though

 
Hey, just done some plinking and for what ever reason my MWS has become insanely inaccurate. Hop wise it’s hit or miss but most seem to have the same hop but the left/right is all over place ? 

Rifle is like a month and half old now and stock inside

Running .28’s

Hey bro , your problem has easy solution . Change nub .... a lot of stock MWS come with deformed . Put modify brown VSR and new nub ( for example tube BIC pen ) and enjoy

PD : best gram bb´s it´s 0.30 or 0.32

Are your BBs good quality, not deformed or degraded?

Are the barrel and bucking clean, free from lube / degreased?

 
What was the consensus re the Iron Arisoft PMAGS?
 Never tried them personally but a lad at our site runs one in his MTR and they are nowhere near as efficient as the standard ones. Look cool though. 

 
Chaps, any idea when's the MK18 MWS being released? This could be the one that makes me wanna buy a GBBR...

Thanks bud, 

just ordered a new bucking and nub 

here’s hoping it fixes it ?

 
Have put new barrel in my mws. It surprises me a little how hard it got to shoot.  Barrel 370mm 6.00mm + ML bucking  nothing else.   However, it was about 25 * C So that probably helped a little ?  But stil..

Hi Everyone. Wow, what a great resource this is. Taken me a good while to read through all the pages but has been super helpful. Hopefully one day I'll be able to return the favour but just chipping in to say thanks to you all. Also Hi @Davegolf, I've dropped you an email about a sixG brass nub, also want to add on a couple of HSBs too if that's alright? Pic to break up the text wall ?

I have not done any major testing, I have just adjusted the hopup and aiming before the game.
  I shot after something like  35x35cm signs at 45m and 75m, they are on our shooting range. 45m hit almost constantly and 75m I think hit the 3 out of about 10 but all shots were very close, had it been a person I might have hit with them all, there was a little wind so a little hard to do a proper test.
During games I felt it shot just as well as my VSR 10 which is fully modified and and I have played with it as a sniper for 10 years. But it's just a feeling, I think it worked as exactly as you would expect at long distances, I at least got a lot of kills at long distances. .

 
Quick question...

I'm currently eyeing up the Z-Parts MK16 M-Lok 13.5 inch Rail, which I think is the longer cousin of the one shown below (if not, it's very similar to it).

It's advertised as being designed specifically for the TM MWS GBBR and comes with its own barrel nut. I assume that means it's an easy fit right out of the box? I.e. no fettling and f****** around required? Or am I being overly optimistic as usual? ?


 
Finally got the chance to run the full length stock MTR upper at UCAP green ops on sunday. On R144 and .25s colour me impressed.

Had a really good day and made some very surprising shots considering the stock internal set up.

Now to acquire a longer inner barrel and sort out a little more range and consistancy.....
