THE TM MWS thread

[jsmithski]

I can confirm the Magpul enlarged mag release button definitely doesn't fit the TM mag release. 

Different threads for sure. ?

Currently got one sat in my parts box gathering dust...

What’s the difference? Bigger thread?

Off the top of my head it was the wrong pitch being an American made part.

Oh you mean imperial size thread? Rethreading should do the job.

GBBRs and Speedloaders?

Hi guys, new to the GBBR world and awaiting my MWS arrival tomorrow. I may have made a fatal flaw. I didn't order a fancy new speed loader as I didn't realise there might be a problem.

I am assuming it doesn't come supplied with one.

Currently this is all I have. Am I going to have a bad time...?

There should be a tube-type speedloader in the box, failing that people (including myself) have had good results with the TM speedloaders, either pistol or M4 size.

Firesupport have them in stock - https://www.fire-support.co.uk/category/bb-loaders--holders/?manufacturer=87&submit.x=15&submit.y=12

Oh, and welcome to the club

Hi, I finally took the dive and upgraded myself from a WE M4 gbbr to the TM Mk18 Mod 1. I was trying to access the hop up, but I can't get the outer barrel or rails off. Is there a specific tool I need for this or are there any guides for the mk18 yet?

hi,

you will need right tool. space is very narrow to fit classic dd wrench or clones. dont even try use them

because barrel nut is made of soft aluminium. you will need devide torque force in all 4 teeth to avoid nut damage. so will need something like this. i did it yesterday. i am lucky cos had no glue on thread. but in all cases use hair dryer or flame torch(very carefull) to melt thread glue a bit. it looks like TM use glue very randomly. someone have yellow one, someone have red.

Barrel cleaning, So who here removes their outer barrel and hop up to clean there barrel and who leaves it all attached.

If you're careful and turn the hop off is it that bad to leave it on?

2021 and they still use broken English in ads and instructions.

After seeing many many videos on the mws...is there a way of making the bolt return more clacky??

I wonder if the angry gun steel mag catch will have a standard thread rather that maruis 

 

[Davegolf]

Not particularly, the reason is because of the sprung nozzle buffer device, the like of the GHK M4 /all other GBBRs do not have this, so the bolt crashes (clacks) into the hop unit.

The MWS bolt decelerates into the hop unit.

What pistol grips and stocks is everyone rocking. 

I have a new basic MWS and want to trick it out with some sweet externals. Does everything fit or any brands to look out for?

Green GAS GAS GAS...

So what's everyone saying about gas?  I have been using Abbey predator 144a which is basically the low power gas TM recommend. I am finding the fire rate to drop at the end of a mag dump.

Have heard lots about Green gas. Do I need to do this green gas mod everyone is on about? seems like the newer mags don't need it. Also why would you need to do the mod in the first place? I assume green gas takes up more volume in the magazine?

 How's everyones durability when running Green? Would you say only use it in the cold? Any internal upgrade required for improve durability?

Basically if I use Green gas in my gun am I gonna break it!

Finally heard bits about Nuprol but I didnt think they were a good brand?

Have a look at this mate, this will answer a few questions to get you going, then I suggest going back through this thread as there's lots of wisdom here.

Mag dump problem,

Hey all, new to GBB. Using 144a weak I know but should still be able to handle at least 1 mag dump. When I got the gun, brand new, I was able to pull off a full auto mag dump in cold weather on about 8/10 seconds fill no green gas mod.

That was yesterday. Ever since, every time I try to repeat this it starts off with a very slow RoF and doesn't make it all the way through before it stops cycling. Switch to semi and it works but is. big sluggish.

Any suggestions. The gun is a day old.
