Cyberlawyer Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I have HSGI Taco’s and the WAS quick release pouches. Both work fine, the HSGI are marginally better, but not enough to justify the extra cost over the WAS pouches. For a double closed pouch I only have the WAS ones. They work really well so I haven’t looked for any other options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davegolf Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 All legit mag pouches work fine as they are made to carry real weighted mags not plastic mags...full of plastic balls Esstac are great for open/quick access/reliable retention. Equal to HSGI, although TACOs can hold a variety of mags, and release with less of a tug, however Esstac can be easier to reinsert a mag due to them staying open - I mean TACOs close up some when empty. I prefer Esstac and Tacos on a rig. That said WAS pouches with bungee retention tops are super fast, have zero drag and less bulk. With belts you don't want to have to pull the mag hard to release. Hope you've got a Velcro inner / rigger outer belt combo, 4 mags on your hips is going to move around a lot otherwise! PS I've got a ton of WAS Coyote pouches I need to shift.

I alternate between a Viper VX chest rig and a full plate carrier (& weighted plates) with kangaroo M4 pouches at the moment but fancy using my FRV shooter belt for lighter load outs. I think I want a single open pouch and a closed double one (4 mags in total is more than enough for CQB games) What pouches put up with the hefty MWS magazines bouncing about in them? WAS? HSGI? Other? I’d invest in one open top pouch with some sort of kydex insert which allows for superior retention and draw speed. Esstac kywi (already mentioned is the choice in the real steel world) is a good choice! But you don’t need to buy these things - you can make them yourself. Buy some flyye m4 pouches ( I have had these for years ) and make a kydex insert. Sheets can be easily cut and bent with a heat gun. DIY guides are easily found through google.

I have recently picked up these which I believe are a clone of an Emerson gear pouch. They work like taco pouches but are made of rubber so they grip the mag very well. I've found they're more secure than a regular taco from testing at home but I haven't had a chance to test them in game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyberlawyer Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 I managed to get my MWS up to 450 FPS with nothing more than a long barrel and an npas valve (with a small modification) and a squirt of red gas. Although due to joule creep you can hit the allowed FPS on normal green gas by upping the weight of the BBs. Its also easy to adjust back down with the npas.

PopRocket123 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Does anyone know if there are any folding stock adapters that work with the MWS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davegolf Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 That's never going to work as Recoil buffer spring lives in stock tube! Real folding ARs have a special bolt assy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitmanNo2 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I don't believe they're compatible with the MWS as the bolt extension needs to go into the end of the bolt. Might work with other GBBRs though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real folding ARs have a special bolt assy. This one isn't designed to be fired with the stock folded, it's literally just for storage as I'm limited on space and want something with a longer barrel. They have an extra buffer extension that sits in the actual folding part to account for the extra length I just wasn't sure if it'd work since I know the MWS uses its own style of buffer and the threads can be fussy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davegolf Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Yes I appreciate the mechanics of a real one, but AFAIK there's nothing off the shelf, it could be done custom though at cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a stack of these for sale on DHgate and Aliexpress. They are identical to the real steel baring what they are made of, with small mods they’ll fit the MWS, you’ll probably need a new RS spec buffer tube, but they come with a fitting kit for an AEG tube, so that might work. As has been said, you can’t fire the gun with it folded, but why would you want too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Softcore Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Couple of questions, maybe someone could help: 1. I want to replace the stock rail and barrel with the G&P DD MK18 front set. What tools do I need? Would this https://gunfire.com/en/products/steel-airsoft-barrel-nut-wrench-for-m4-m16-1152202492.html suffice? 2. A question for those who own the Angry Gun high speed bolt carrier in FDE. How close to the real thing(BCM) is the color tone? A bit more subdued, darkish or lighter in tone? 3. Does anyone know if there are companies out there doing monolithic uppers for the mws? I want an mlok LMT MRP so badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSPKali Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Spent a useful afternoon removing many, many layers of paint from my MWS...and then the 5 mags.
