THE TM MWS thread

[acrxil]

Are you running everything else stock? Was looking at getting a PDI barrel and a new nub but wasn't sure if the hop window is too small/big for certain nubs

Hey, so 15 months and around 12k shots in for my MWS and its time for my first repairs. Nothing major but noticed the feed lips on one of my mags are cracked. Still firing fine but it's about time I got a few spares for the tool box. I'm reluctant to use after market brands as the damn thing shoots so bloody good, I'd rather keep that marui magic but a 10er for 1 feed lip! Outrageous. Any who the Yorkshireman in me is showing now. Are there any genuinely good alternate feed lips out there. Vids I have seen all seem to give feed issues etc with non genuine. Or shall I just bite the bb and suck it up with the real deal.

Impulse101 for OG TM spares. Not sure if they're in stock at the moment, but keep an eye and get 'em while you can

Very nearly. Internally, the only changes are a SixG super nub and an RAtech NPAS simply for better hop and adjustable FPS. I dont feel like anything else needs changing. If it ain't broke, dont fix it

Look a couple of posts up. SixG brass nub is the gold standard, but, like @Davegolfmentions, BavTac and Jaegar are muscling in. 

I have a couple if BavTac MHN but not installed yet. I'll report back when do

Thanks, there are a couple in stock at airsoft direct but it's hard to justify a 10er of the 50 quid your paying for a mag is a tiny plastic part that is essentially a consumable but hey ho. Guess it's a necessity for the reward of playing with a GBB. Still gives me big smiles each time I let off a round.

Impulse101 are out of stock, as are Rainbow8. Keep an eye though because they're a lot cheaper, service is fast, even from Japan/HK. Impulse charge 550 yen. That's a little over £3!

Hi guys,  I use angry gun high speed bolt set for my mws to solve the bolt stop issue and now it shoots like a AAP, should I use hard kick buffer to improve recoil ?

 

[Cipher-032]

Bolt stop issue?

Using a heavier buffer will negate the performance of the high speed bolt.

Yeah, when I use green gas with my original bolt, it can't stop and the light bolt slove this problem but decrease the recoil

Ah I see. Wasnt aware of these shops. Think i will go that route then. I'll just stock up on a bunch when they come in. £3-4 is much more reasonable. Thanks for the info.

Hey, I recently damaged nozzle using forward assist when it was iced... original are hard to get, wound you recommend any other? ProWin ?

If you have a bolt lock problem with green gas and standard bolt, you need to unscrew your buffer tube 1 turn at a time until it reliably locks on empty.

Dynamic Precision or Guns Modify

 

[airfish]

How about ProWin? Only these are available on wgc now, and i may be also interested in increasing some fps

Had a dissapointing session with my MWS on Saturday. 

Temperature was about 10 degrees celsius (night game). Mags were gassed up and weighed 476 grams each ( with a cut down magpul on it. I filled and weighed before attending the site). Go to confirm hop, red dot zero etc at the chrono and struggled to get the 35 bbs out of each one, felt super sluggish.  Gas was ultra air. 

All mags are gen 3 and the issue was consistent across all mags. Only gas available onsite with a plastic nozzle was abbey green 144a and it was even worse. didn't chrono as it's performance was so terrible I wouldn't and couldn't field that. 

MWS is pretty much internally stock, 2 modifications for internals is the supersix nub and some 10 pence pieces in the buffer to prevent bolt over travel and "tighten" up the charging handle (as per olly talks airsoft). Barrel, hop unit, bolt etc is all stock mws.

Going to try abbey red gas - any other ideas? 

 

[Davegolf]

What have you got as lube on the BCG and piston?

Does the BCG pull back effortlessly and return very quickly?

Does the hammer strike nice and hard and to full extension?

 

[Emergencychimps]

What have you got as lube on the BCG and piston? - Have not lubed the piston, have applied a tiny amount of gun oil on the BCG. 

Does the BCG pull back effortlessly and return very quickly? Yes, works exactly as I'd expect. 

Does the hammer strike nice and hard and to full extension? I think so, sounds like it does, image incoming

[Davegolf]

The part you have pictured popping out is the reset roller.

The hammer is kinda where the mag release is, it fires out and pushes the mag gas exit valve

 

[Emergencychimps]

Every day is a school day. Yeah, the hammer is coming out quite punchy, about 4 mm

I would have tried taking the 10ps out just to give the spring a little more slack, stripped any grease and ran it “dry”.

Also a top tip, put your coat over your chest rig / PC. I’ve played in 0 degrees with mine and the mags where lovely and toasty under my rab jacket so didn’t notice any major drop in performance.

 

[rj1986]

This seems to be common with v3 mags, I have v3 mags and have had a similar issue. 

My "work around" has been to use ultra air gas and abbey. Nuprol has been hit and miss and using propane was a complete waste. 

My suspicions are around the nozzle on the gas not fitting into the valve quite right, rather than the gas itself. Add onto that I'm a gbbr noob and I didn't want to mess with it over cold games, so just getting it back into action. 

I'm experiencing the same.

Nuprol green, fills in about 8 seconds and fires lovely.

Propane adapter, I get about 3 shots worth.

On another note, I've got a mk18 that i got in a bundle deal I've noticed the nozzle seems to be dragging on the bolt. The spring seems snappy as it starts its journey back perfectly, but then i hear it rubbing, almost like air is escaping from it.

Edit, on closer inspection it looks like an AG drop in set, so not sure why its rubbing. I think that when it gets low gas/cold, the bolt cycles but the nozzle doesn't. So maybe a 170% spring is needed?

Edit 2: Post on pg90 says the AG buffer is too big and drags, so maybe that first?
