SBoardley Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 I think I paid 65 each so yeah quite expensive but I needed the modem look for my a2. I like how you have a couple different options for loading, and they are definitely well designed though obviously have a couple of issues with seals. But once this has been overcome I feel they are worth it. Just wish I could get an Emag version tbh. Rs ones fit my WE and ngrs! Maybe someone knows someone who could print some gm spec shells? Dunno. C-Diddy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Diddy Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 I can't understand why TM haven't dropped their MWS mags into a P-Mag or E-Mag shell. Maybe one day. Think I'll pick up some of the GM ones and grab myself some addition o-rings! SBoardley 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dgiles06 Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 (edited) Hello lads I'm thinking on picking up a mws as a project/light skirmish gun And would like to ask a few questions 1: how durable is the receiver is it made from a quality material that won't crack. 2:How reliable are these and how long do they last before an issue appears 3:will the ratech magic reciver pins work In this 4: After extended use on green gass what parts will break I know about the nozzle return spring but what else shurley it being run at a higher pressure will damage something Edited January 7, 2023 by dgiles06 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBoardley Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 gm p mags… @Salamanca just letting you know bud, I had a leak from the output valve on one magazine today. Not sure so I took all the orings off and soaked them in silicone oil, but it did feel slightly loose in its thread, so when I put it back in I made sure i cranked it nice and firm. Incidentally, the valve knocker is held in by a pin which has serrations on one end to hold the pin in place. I found out which end the hard way. The serrated side is on the side of the stick on thermometer thingy so you need to hit the pin from the side. Hope this helps peoples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salamanca Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Great, thanks for the update. I will give my output valves a service, based on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cart3rlfc Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 What is the recommended way of adjusting the FPS on the mws? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argyld Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 slight adjustments: install NPAS More FPS: tighter or longer barrel less FPS. less powerful gas, shorter barrel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I installed an RAtech NPAS and using that alongside green gas allows me to get up to UK legal limits with the ability to tune it up in the cold and down in the warm. Cheap and a 15 min mod. Nothing more needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around 10k shots through it nearly a year on and never skipped a beat. Not even had to replace the nozzle return spring due to green gas yet either. YMMV...

cart3rlfc Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Is it okay to run the mws on propane? Thinking of buying an adapter, and using propane, reason I ask is some people say yes and others seem to think not, fully stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khyber Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Propane is basically what's in airsoft gas. But pure without additives and lubricants. It's possible but you will absolutely want an NPAS and your system will need extra maintaining on your part. Buy silicone spray and regularly spray all rubber parts of the mags. Keeps them supple and extends life. Also as with all gbb regular cleaning and regreasing is vital for smooth running. 9 thought about this route but after pricing up large bottles of propane it wasn't much cheaper in the UK. America yes. Ther are videos on the process but it's not entirely safe and quite a faff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've probably seen BadaBing's videos on YouTube, but he runs his MWS (and everything else) on propane. As @Khybersaid, propane is 'dryer' than most of the airsoft gases (144a, green, red etc) so a bit of additional lube is probably a good idea.

Yea I'm thinking during the colder months use that, thanks for the info! You can pick up 400g propane for about £8 online so does seem a small saving. Will I Definitely be above 350fps on propane though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaBear Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 (edited) Gonna be dusting off my MWS after it’s been in storage for over 8 months. I know shocking. Me of all people should know better. Luckily it was greased up and the mags had abbey maintenance gas shoved into them. So cleaning regime. 1. Check mags for leaks. 2. Check mag rubber dingy dong gas router to make sure all is well. 3 Check the piston rubber for cracks and dryness. FYI gents if you don’t lube it, it’s gonna dry up and crack. Have a pink tub of lube which I keep forgetting what it’s called. 4. Barrel clean 5. Gun oil all metal friction on friction parts. 6. Check the hop rubber. Should be fine. But still I’ll have a look. Have I missed anything? Edited January 28, 2023 by AlphaBear C-Diddy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have I missed anything? Yes lad!!! Gun day is fun day. Fairly comprehensive list there pal. Only thing I did after not using mine for around three months, was run each mag through the gun to make sure there's nothing sinister going on. Which gas you going to run? UltraAir or Abbey Predator? Those are your go-to gases IIRC. AlphaBear 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll run 0.3 G&G’s as the ammo as I’ve accumulated quite a horde of them. The 0.4’s I’ll leave to the TM 417. C-Diddy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emergencychimps Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 What's the best lubricant to use? Had some issues feeding today, could have been the cold (around 4 degree c) or could have been my lack of cleaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Diddy Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Not sue if these are the best, but a combination of these is what I use: Tech T Gun Sav lube Abbey Rifle and Gun Oil Abbey Silicon Spray Gun oil on the metal parts, Tech T (the pink tub AlphaBear mentions) for the piston seal and a bit of silicon on flannelette pulled-through for the barrel - one wet, two dry. Standing by to be told I'm talking out my hoop 😆 AlphaBear 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be lubed with TechT before each game day. 45 minutes ago, C-Diddy said: Not sue if these are the best, but a combination of these is what I use: Tech T Gun Sav lube Abbey Rifle and Gun Oil Abbey Silicon Spray Gun oil on the metal parts, Tech T (the pink tub AlphaBear mentions) for the piston seal and a bit of silicon on flannelette pulled-through for the barrel - one wet, two dry.
