THE TM MWS thread

[Hypokondrikern]

Now then MWS tribe, 

Can anybody share any experience that they've had with this particular part as I'm thinking of swapping out the original as I'm still not happy with my bolt lock reliability.  I'm going to wait to buy the ag maritime bolt catch before fighting with the trigger box removal again (someone please tell me that gets easier) as I plan on doing both in a one-year.

Cheers crew!

Using hao lightweight bolt TM weight and GnP buffer (empty) on mapp gas now.

Did you get a lightweight bolts top plate to try?

I have been interested in this item for a long time. Actually, I bought it twice from JK Army but was refunded as it was no longer in stock. Maybe a sign...

@Davegolf true, I haven’t really decided what the platform is for me. I think just need to play more and tinker less. But I enjoy having a scope on the MWS as the accuracy and range is superb. It’s just a tad cumbersome and I’m slower with it than with the dot. The lamp is something I might ditch altogether though, as it feels very field specific or more like a real firearms utility.

Reporting back on the jamming issue. 
 

The mtr jammed with my mtr bolt in it but didn’t jam with my mk18’s bolt in it. So have narrowed it down to the bolt. 
 

ordered some Geoff’s and a new g&p nozzle as mine has some damage. The stock one’s are impossible to find so I went with the g&p. Does anyone have any experience with that nozzle?

checked the mags and the bucking feed lips. Both of those are good so haven’t ordered replacements. 
 

hopefully that works. 
 

thanks for your help so far folks

I have the GnP nozzle set as a back up seems to run fine for the test I did but quite hot.

 

[AlphaBear]

G&P tend to run a tad hot. Well my stock G&P carrier bolt group did. That’s why I got the G&P adjustable valve to tame it down. I’ll get round to doing it once I muster up the enthusiasm and report back. 

 

[Whereismyhammer]

Glad to know the g&p works well. I play airsoft in the Channel Islands so it running hot is not an issue. We regulate full auto rather than power. 
 

I will try and get a stock one for in the Uk if it’s running hot because I occasionally play over there too and don’t want to break site rules.

anyone know the rough FPS of the g&p? Anything below 450 is allowed here really.

If I recall correctly it was shooting around 390- 400 on mapp gas which runs a few FPS more than green.

 

[Whereismyhammer]

That’s good news. 390 is pretty much exactly what I’m looking for. 
 

thanks for the info

I just built a new BCG with the HAO BC and using all G&P internals including nozzel. I cannot really give you an estimate on the power as I use the G&P adjustable valve, but the nozzel itself works well. I was meant to field it yesterday, but had something come up. I've have put through about 100 rounds on my balcony though and not an issue with any of it.

First iteration of a rail nut spanner for the TM mk18

(the one with the central cut away is for a peace of 4mm key steel)

Did you do this yourself?

Have you tried the lighter Tm weight from the original bolt carrier as it's even lighter for even more cold weather ability.?

 

[Cyberlawyer]

Just had my mk12 apart to fit a new hop rubber. Was doing a bit of shooting in the garden and it felt a bit anaemic (garden is too short to really test the drop in range). A quick chrono showed it was shooting at around 200fps. Stuck a new hop rubber in it and boom back to 450 FPS with some room on the npas to go higher. No obvious damage to the original hop, just obviously wasn’t sealing well at the barrel end.

Just goes to show how critical that little rubber tube is to the performance of our toys....

Did you do this yourself?

 Yes mate, but I am wayy past this now .... say hello to version 4 ?

I just need to get it made out of a strong metal (steel or stainless or alloy etc etc)

fits very nicely, but being pla it’s not strong enough ?

stock ..... ?

also is it the correct size?

Not yet as I haven't even gamed with the everything in yet. I went though about 4-5 mags in ~7 deg weather as I had to empty them for storage and there wasn't an issue in single fire or quick double tapping. I did full auto to test it out and it got halfway through a second mag until it siezed open due to cooldown. I never play full auto anyway, so I should be fine. Plus, it will be nice having a complete bolt spare, I just need to order a new pin as it was the one thing I forgot.

I can make a quick vid if you're interested in seeing it in action

IDK, worth calling the store and ask for dimensions. There’s another tool called G36 barrel nut wrench that looks similar.

Looks good so far, must be someone out there who could make a steel version to your dimensions.

I decided to have a change of approach, to have it made was going to be quite expensive (and lacking a metal 3d printer or a lathe/milling machine, it’s out of my reach) ... so I have come up with an idea to modify a spanner, this is going to involve welding and grinding, but it should be a lot easier to make with the tools I have

URGI update... Although I loved the all black look I really wanted to break up the lines of the rifle and do something a little different.

Picking up inspiration from an FBI HRT rifle I got a few key parts Cerakoted in Olive Drab Green and I'm really happy with how it's turned out!

This build is now complete and I'm itching to start the next!

Maybe some green magpul's to complete the look!? ?
