No I’ve never made anything and sold it to the public 👍 OK so it’s just me, I’m too cheap apparently. Anyway if I were to do only one piece the price must have been higher but when doing stuff in batches the costs and time spent can be optimized.

AlphaBear Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Asking for a friend....... can the MWS platform be used with a hpa setup? I mean it’s just gas after all yeah well air but you know what I mean yeah? Two options as I see it: 1. Convert existing MWS mags to take hpa 2. use one of @rocketdogberthpa drum mag setups and hpa that? Thoughts gentlemen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it’s an HPA tap instead of a gg valve, about £5 2. @sonofsammo 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I followed option number two and it was responsible for some of the most enjoyable games ever. Some will call me a heretic for saying 350 rounds in a mag is the way forward. But all I say is - it levels the playing field. It's just the same as a high cap. And if you have an mws set up as a DMR, firing .36s, with a drum mag? The grin will literally never leave your face. In fact, I'm smiling now. 😁 AlphaBear 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can the stock Marui internals hold up to the vigours of HPA other than lubing the rifle every so often cos you’re dealing with dry air. Also any pics of your set up?

jsmithski Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 One thing to be aware of is that if you plan on using full auto with HPA then the wear is something to consider. I’ve almost destroyed my KWA KV on hpa but I was shooting full auto on 120-130psi and had a 5000 rounds box mag so I never went out of bbs and rof was x2 the stock one. Other than that it’s just the same as gg but better (no cool down, consistent FPS). PS Drum is fine but this one is finer http://www.iwholesales.co.uk/310012-cccp-m4-m16-box-magazine-5000-rounds-mag-008 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Weasel Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Crap, Just found I've left my hammer cocked for 24hrs, should I panic and start ordering hammer springs or are they pretty resilient?

Cheers A spring won't change its spring rate after 24hrs, I have seen air rifles left cocked for years and still put out 95% of their original power 😁 The lost 5% was probably due to the grease turning into earwax over the years! 🤮 Wild Weasel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Airsoft J2 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Does anyone else have trouble with the hop relaxing or easing off? Within a couple of hours of setting the hop (brass nub, everything else stock), I'm back to zero hop. This happens whether I fire any shots or not. Any ideas? It's a right pain and I can't help but think that I've messed something up on reassembly at some point... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't disassembled the wheel part of the MWS hop but usually hop chambers have an o-ring which helps maintain tension. Have you checked if that is there?

Cat182 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 The mtr16 rail and selectors have weird screws holding them in place are they spline or torx or something TM came up with ?

I can't imagine TM has some proprietary screw for this though, have you tried putting a torx in and seeing if it seats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll strip it down at the weekend when I have more time at home but the hop spring and o-ring were both there when I reassembled things after installing the nub. It's bizarre!

If it's any consolation I did the same to mine when replacing the trigger guard, albeit not quite so spectacularly (I broke off just one of the tabs). From Googling at the time, it seems to be a fairly common occurrence in the real steel world - the tabs on the M4/AR-15 platform being something of a design flaw that you need to be extra careful around. In my case I was able to Gorilla-glue the broken tab back on and it's rock solid with just a hairline crack; barely noticeable. Adds character 😉 You might be able to glue yours? Could be worth a shot and nothing to lose by trying. An alternative solution that's often recommended for AR-15s is to fit a Daniel Defense pistol grip with oversized trigger guard (or similar product). One of these: Marroksteel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
