I'd have a look at the hop rubber too, and probably replace it , also check the O ring on the back of the piston.

Hi there, Im new to this forum… ?
I was hoping you can give me some advice on something. Can anyone recommend a good upper receiver for my MWS? I had to change my bolt to an Orga steel bolt because I dropped my original one and the Orga one was the only one I could get. Now the upper is getting more and more damaged as you can see in the photo. It still functions perfectly though. I however modified almost everything so I’m not sure if it’s just that I’m using a steel bolt and should get an upper made from a stronger metal than the original one, or if it’s one of the other modifications I made like the buffer, buffer tube, buffer spring, Zet plate etc…?
Does anyone using a steel bolt have the same issue?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

I think the issue here is the bolt is obviously out of spec (or not designed to work with the regular TM receiver…which sounds like a get-out clause!)
I would look where the bolt is catching and file off the bolt part, no point trying to alter the receiver or spend ££££ on an aftermarket one only to find out the same thing happens! Worth cleaning out all the chips and dust, won’t do any favours if that gets in the workings

Ran my MWS first time today and every mag about half way through started acting like it was out of gas, yet the mag still had gas in it as after a while it was useable again.
Any ideas on where to start to diagnose the issue? None of the mags leak so already ruled that out

Check which generation mags they are (assuming they're tm stanags). The ones I had (generation 3) were picky about which gas nozzle I could load from, plastic worked but certain metal ones didn't.
Is the MWS stock?
Is it brand new?

Gen 3, using Nuprol 2.0 with the metal nozzle.
Stock except BavTac 140% return nozzle springs
Yeah, first time running it since I got it 4 odd months ago
When I filled the mags at home they was weighing in at 460 - 465g (No BB's) and after the first time all 4 mags did what they did, I purged them all and ran into the same issue afterwards

Had a couple of odd failures recently - broke a nozzle guide (think it was AG) snapped off the front part that sits in the BCG and guides the nozzle. Not surprised AG item broke so popped a spare GM one on. That failed tonight when I was checking the FPS. Again snapped in the same place!
Fitted my last spare, a G&P one, but took a small round file and added a radius to the inside corner where the others had failed. Now have a couple of Unicorn ones on order from JKArmy but will probably never need them ?
Anyone else had this? Nozzle springs, nozzle feed pokey bit, hell even the tiny screw through the nozzle holding the internals in….just never seen one of these fail before!
UPDATED:
The Guns Modify failed at the sharp corner and cracked there (circled red areas) then slowly got worse and worse over next X shots as shown by the rough, almost tree ring lines, area across the middle 80%
The Angry Gun one (grey) broke rapidly (as evidenced by lack to brassing / tide marks as on the GM one) and appears to have failed at the inclusion / void highlighted. AG had radiused the corners…but then used shitty plastic

https://www.18airsoft.com/products/kgb5-150-enhanced-buffer-spring-for-marui-mws-m4-gbb-kgb-mws-001-15?variant=49243607859481 Anybody used one of these before? Looking to get a bit more of a kick out of my MWS and these are pretty cheap.
I have used the Angry Gun 110% and 130% - the 110% was great with a heavier bolt and buffer and ensured it went back into battery pretty fast.
The 130% just massively increased the gas consumption!
Recoil is down to how fast the bolt is travelling and how much it weighs when it hits the end of the buffer tube. The buffer spring is just to push the bolt back after.

Cheers for the info, I fitted the stainless bolt cap by Jaeger and it’s made it feel a lot more fun to shoot. Might have a look into the AG spring but I didn’t notice any downsides from the bolt cap yet
A few retails might still have stock of the original TR-1 kits, but believe AngryGun had to stop producing these after the first run. Probably due to unlicensed copyright issues!
Since then they (a/k/a AngryGun) re-released a new MWS TR-1 kit and other TTI goods, all of which are officially licensed by EMG. However, these newer kits appear to be based around the retail version of the TTI TR-1, whereas the original AG kits were based on the actual TR-1 movie variant that was seen in John Wick 2. Be careful as their are a few notable differences in both furniture and markings between these two kits, as well as in quality (older kits supposedly had better QA).
Best bet would probably be looking for an older version of the kit second hand on a marketplace or retailer somewhere.

Yeah, hopefully one becomes available at some point. Been looking for years and nothing has come up on the second hand market here.
I do see I can buy just the receiver but would like the whole kit if possible. I've listed a wanted advert listing on here for it, hopefully someone has one available haha.
has anyone bought off these. works out £38.82 a mag and cant find any TM mws gas mags in the uk that cheap and with free shipping.

I know a couple of people personally who've done it. It may take 2-3 weeks for shipping but they're very reliable.
Thanks ordered it on 17th and it should be here Wednesday. So tbh I was expecting it to take much longer

What is the practical temp at which you stop running your MWS? I’m new to GBBRs and have been having a great time throwing money at my Double Eagle MWS clones, but as we’re heading into winter I’m wondering if/when I’ll need to shelve them (or HPA tap them).
I know anecdotally they cope well with the cold, but I imagine there is a difference between a quick YouTube demo of an MWS firing on a snowy day vs a day long skirmish in the cold.

Use stronger gas and they'll run absolutely fine down to freezing IME. For the DEs in particular, you can do well with a GM nozzle and ditching the DE PMags.
If you get some ASG red gas you can run them pretty comfortably down that low. Especially if you rotate mags into pouches or especially if you have internal pockets.
This is a solid channel in general, but those two videos give a few tips on running MWS guns down to -10°C. (I would be at home with my duvet and hot chocolate rather than playing in that!)
