As previously mentioned by Alpha I think, I don't want to trust a cheap QD with me MWS https://frvtailoring.co.uk/collections/slings/products/cqb-single-point-ajustable-sling-1?variant=19221369454649 FRV slings are reasonable for the price, but the webbing is only 1" which isn't actually that comfortable. But that's just my experience. The plus side is that the hardware is reasonable. Although there are better out there. Can I ask how often you actually use your sling? (Since I use mine a lot I went for a magpul MS3, alternatively Andy at TacbeltsUK on IG does good way of the gun slings at a very reasonable price.)

alxndrhll Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Slings will always be personal preference, I’ve moved to using two point slings over single point because cracking yourself in the nuts in ‘the heat of battle’ is not my favourite and I find two points much more comfortable across a day of playing. The ‘new wave’ of quick adjusting two points are all very similar, my personal favourite is the Ferro Concepts Slingster (having also tried the VTAC and Haley slings of a similar ilk) just found it has the best quick adjustment system and the padding is perfect for me... but one of those plus decent fittings/hardware (I use the Ferro QD fittings) is going to set you back £70-80. Comfort is important, what works for one may not work for another etc etc. Some would like scoff at spending that much on a sling when others do the job just fine, these days I tend to use as much ‘RS’ kit as I can largely because it holds value much better than repro kit if you come to sell it on... aside the fact it’s better quality (for the most part). The reason holding value is important to me is because I sell things on if they aren’t working for me. Once you start down that rabbit hole of ‘perfecting’ your kit you have to accept that things you buy might not be suitable for you. Tldr, don’t skimp out on your sling because it’s the only thing between your rif, gravity and the ground should you let go of it. If your kit isn’t working with you, it isn’t worth using.

AlphaBear Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I use a Magpul padded sling and also a MS3 gen 2. Both are great and the padded one more comfy and being Magpul the dogs danglies. Also don’t skimp on QD’s either. Don’t buy cheap tat. As @alxndrhllhas said the sling is the only thing between you and your rif hitting the ground. Also as said above, many people use the ferro concepts slingster. You can’t go wrong with it. Use their QD points too as they are proper spec and not monkey metal spec. UK tactical sell all you need.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I have decided on the Magpul MS3, not happy about the price but hey it's worth doing right. I have a CTR with built in QD point. I was gonna get some Esstac pouches to go with my new belt from https://www.tactical-kit.co.uHighly recommend them by the way. Cheers for the help lads.

Looking at the Ferro concepts now but then you need a QD swivel. Ah never simple. Think I will just hunt down the MS3 somewhere. That's cool you can use it in either 2 point or 1 point. RS Optics... Yeah I have wet my toes with a Holosun T1 style sight on like a months back order.

Yeah you're right, realised I would only save £12 on tactical kit website. So I have bitten the bullet so to speak. Anyway soz for taking over the thread with gear talk.

If so, what brand/model is good? The stock mws/marui barrels are beat rounds on the most "magic" inner barrels so generally doesnt make sense, unless you wanna play with the fps, though I changed for a Maple leaf 300mm one for this reason and because I running Maple leaf bucking (the bucking and your inner barrels mouth must to be matching and air-tight 100%) , its just depends on your upgrade parts. In order to find the best result in accuracy these things must to be matching : - Consistent fps (on semi auto) - 100% air-tight - barrel mouth+bucking+nub are match 100%(length,shape,tightness) + the nub contact on the right place with the bucking and the hop arm push it down from and in the right angle (check the laylax hop unit) So the end of the day the barrel length and diameter doesnt takes much without these things but not at all in my opinion.

The Commander Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 I'm thinking of replacing my vanilla MWS outer barrel with a short barrel to use with a silencer/tracer unit, but I know exactly nothing about it. What are people's experiences on the subject? I got my eye on this nice kit with multiple barrels, but don't know if it's a good option/good price/good brand/good product. If that's not good, can anyone recommend a good barrel for the MWS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All i really wanted was the body, stock tube, barrel and the guts. Gonna strip all the paint for now and either paint it MC or just leave it black with tan furniture. I have painted loads of guns before this point. With each i just tapped off any danger areas and went crazy with Krylon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm I shall find a painting thread I haven't painted an MWS before. So if someone wants to correct me please do. What I will do when i paid this is tape up the end of the barrel so that paint cannot get down to the inner. On the body, it's has a pretty good fit. So I would probably just keep it closed and spray. That said, if i wanted to be more curious. I would put some tape on the inside, close the body and be happy if anything got through the gap. It would be caught on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm I shall find a painting thread I painted my MWS a couple of months ago. I separated the upper and lower and then taped off the gaps on the inside, closed the dust cover, taped off the trigger and the end of the charging handle to prevent any paint/spray getting in the inside of the gun, then put the two pieces back together. I too kept the inner barrel in and just taped off the muzzle device which worked. Just tape off anywhere you think it’ll get into the inner workings of the gun. Hope that helps!
