Reap Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 @AlphaBear I already have a SixG nub waiting to go in, I will look into getting the buffer as well, thanks! I have an Eagle6 nozzle spring, It’s the 150% one, is that the stronger one you speak of? I was keeping it until the original failed, but I may just swap it out whilst I do the nub. The barrel nut tool is available again so I will purchase that and hope it arrives by weekend, I missed out on the last batch…..bloody mk18 barrel nut!

So I've had my mws for 2 years now, done so much shooting it's not even fair use at this point (50 cans of red) and it has done a metric tonne of bbs. (not really but you get my point) I have found that my trigger has broken in and is much better then it was 2 years ago, but it's leaves me some what wanting. Now I broke my disconnector where it engages the auto sear (around 10,000 rounds ago.) And thought I'll get round to replacing it when I change the trigger and bolt stop plate. Well that time is now as my bolt lock isn't as reliable as it should be and my trigger is failing to reset occasionally. So my questions are what have you folks done to your trigger boxs??? Wii tech marksman sear's? Guns modify adjustable triggers? Lightweight bolt catch plates? Maybe some precise fettling? Any thoughts or experience's welcome.. Thanks guys, be lucky. My secondhand MWS had a very hard life and there was a load of gritty mud in the trigger box that had caused a lot of wear and nasty feel. I have replaced all the parts in the trigger box with the WiiTech parts and spring set. They are really high quality and nice finish, well worth the money. I tried the marksman sear but got light strikes with the safety ON followed by another light strike after I took it off and pulled the trigger again! I tried it with both the TM and WiiTech parts - same result. GET THE REGULAR SEAR! For lubrication get a small aerosol can of Graphite lock lube (less than £10 on Amazon or Ebay) and use that. Apply to the parts as you assemble the trigger box then wipe the gun down after…and don’t wear a white t-shirt! It is messy to apply and you will need to wash your hands about 8 times but it is very low friction and won’t attract dirt and gum up the action. I have had zero issues with trigger reset or bolt locking back since using it. Whisky1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stratton Oakmont Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 (edited) Does anyone use the 150% nozzle return spring. other than that I am looking for the solution to my mws not effectively cycling on full auto and when I cock it the nozzle it obviously getting stuck in the hop rubber (tan with brass nub). hsb fitted and bolt locks on empty no problem on semi Edited July 8, 2021 by Stratton Oakmont Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davegolf Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Are you using gas with suspended oil or dry propane etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stratton Oakmont Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 (edited) 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 Edited July 8, 2021 by Stratton Oakmont Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davegolf Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 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?

scar527 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypokondrikern Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 @scar527 Strange I thought these would be identical to the MWS mags. Maybe the spring needs to wear in a bit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davegolf Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Not your BBs is it? I never had that issue with the 85 mags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scar527 Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davegolf Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylithics Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davegolf Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scar527 Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davegolf Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davegolf Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypokondrikern Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 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 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boky Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Hello everyone. First let me tell you I love what you have built here and the dedication of the community to the MWS system. As an technical guy this thread was a joy to read. Second is my question for a MWS system with a 416a5 body. Are there any options for users that want to run MWS system with an German (Bundeswehr) loadout and a required 416 platform that is not 1500$ HAO conversion? (they don't even sell the receivers alone, just kits) Any chance TM is going to release its own 416 MWS? Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
