THE TM MWS thread

[Stratton Oakmont]

We green 

easy fix may be to lightly silicon oil the nozzle where it enters the bucking but don’t want to introduce silicon to the contact patch if I can help it 

 

[Davegolf]

The Modify bucking is quite tight and made of higher friction material than the TM one, so if everything is bone dry it can stress the nozzle return spring.

The 150% springs work fine, if not the same, they just pull out a little prematurely ? or not in your case.

Before changine anything though make sure its functioning properly 'as standard'.

Is the inside of the bucking worn where the nozzle mates?

Is the bucking swollen at all making it even tighter fitting?

Is the bucking properly seated into the hop unit?

Will check this evening, thanks for the heads up 

 

[Stratton Oakmont]

Tried both tan and Tm, same thing, tiny bit of silicon to outside nozzle and good to go

Always time for lube ?

Hey guys,

Recently picked up an MWS. I have one normal Stanag and 3 Type 85 mags, I've been having issues with the Type 85 mags feeding and sometimes the bb's get stuck in the mag/ the spring fails to push them to the feed lips. I've taken them apart, cleaned them, and even tried dry lube but eventually the issue returns. Any ideas?

@scar527

Strange I thought these would be identical to the MWS mags. Maybe the spring needs to wear in a bit? 

 

[Davegolf]

Not your BBs is it?

I never had that issue with the 85 mags

 

[scar527]

Ive used several types of BB’s and experiences this- any tips on cleaning/ any lubrication required for the bb tube? I live in a super humid environment so I’m wondering if that is a factor

 

[Davegolf]

BB feed tubes etc should be bone dry.

If you live in a humid place is it possible your BBs have swollen?

Load up a mag and manually ping them out with a plastic barrel unblocking rod, does the magazine follower keep pusshing up ok?

I keep the bb's stored inside in a dry environment, I'll try knocking them out one at a time and cleaning that mag again.

Hey guys, is it true that you need to remove the Mk18 rail gbbr to access the hop rubber or inner barrel? Or can you access it by splitting upper and lower? That’s the thing that’s putting me off the Mk18 atm. If I can change/clean the inner and change the rubber without taking off that rail I’d be a bit happier. Cheers 

 

[Davegolf]

You have to take the rail off to remove the hop unit etc.

Buy a normal M4A1 or CQBR and get a MK18 kit for it.

 

[Sylithics]

Appreciate it Dave cheers

Dumb question, but if you get an adapter ring like the PTS one can you fit real handguards to the MWS? Looking to replicate my 16" bcm rifle.

 

[Davegolf]

There’s so many variations most things will fit with a little ingenuity.

Unless it’s a dedicated product expect to have to do some minor modding.

What sort of modding can one expect to do in regards to the barrel nut/barrel fitment?

 

[Davegolf]

As before there’s loads of different mounting designs so until you have one it’s impossible to say.

Some may need an adapter ring, some might not, some might need extra ring shims or some material removing for clearance

 

[Hypokondrikern]

Do we know the trigger pull weight for the MWS? Just curious. Is it even a 1 kg? ( couldn't find any official info on the internetz )

 

[Horse84]

On the lookout for an 11 or 11.5 inch outer barrel if anyone has one spare for the mws?
