With the flamingo you want a long contact patch concave nub. A maple leaf omega or a T nub will be a good start. Spoke with SniperMechanic (Dan) the other week and he’s actually looking to get hold of another MWS for a DMR build he suggested to use the omega nub as that’s what he’s tested with. Moreover in relation to the flamingo the bucking itself is incredibly consistent vertically and horizontally. A friend of mine has been testing one of the pre releases and I’ve shot his VSR with it and it shoots incredibly well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could simply try lower power gas, or shoot in the shade 😂 RobHedley 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switched to nurpol 1.0 still slightly over the limit. 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damster117 Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Ok so used my MTR for the first time on a hot day today, and found it was shooting too hot on abbey predator and nuprol 2.0, so I used abbey 144a. With all gases however I found the bolt lock had stopped working, maybe due to the temp also, but I fixed this but unscrewing the buffer tube one rotation. So far so good. Trouble is I’ve found the gun sluggish on 144a and some mags barely fired every round before running out of gas. Would I be better using more powerful gas with an Npas in hot weather? Any other options? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davegolf Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Have you increased the gas capacity of your mags? AKA green gas mod. Yes high power gas and reduced output nozzle gives the best of both. A high speed buffer also reduces cycle time without affecting mag empty bolt catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I haven't, I've heard mixed views on whether the mag tubes should be cut down one inch, removed altogether or not modified at all! Are there any downsides to the high speed buffer? I'd like to fiddle as little as possible really. If I can get the snappy response using high power gas and lower the fps via the npas this might be better. I've never fitted one of these before as it's my first gas rifle, are they tricky to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what is the reason for not modifiying at all. It has been written above that removing it entirely could cause inconsistency due to the liquid gas in the chamber. But if you cut it in half there should not be any issue. Or do I miss something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I’ve read by going through this thread thoroughly before buying my MWS, it sounds like cutting above the valve is fine but removing completely compromises consistency. Haven’t seen any reason not to cut it just above the valve. I should mention I haven’t done it yet though so can’t speak from experience. I will be though, just waiting for my mags to get through customs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cipher-032 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Update on Flamingo buckings: Needs a the Laylax hop unit to work really. The stock Marui unit just pushes down on the first part of the contact patch, and not the whole area, regardless of nub. How ever, What I can tell you these do fit the stock Marui barrels. I've fit one to my HK45 with a H plate, and it shoots just as good as the mod tan currently. Ill range test it at the field Sunday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it isn’t w vast improvement over the modify tan which is just a conventional hop up mound then they hype doesn’t match the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davegolf Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Same old same old, I think a potato waffle type patch will be ace. All a BB ultimately wants is a contact area the same profile as itself - so it centres and it gets good bit of friction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously in time will see how it performs, once broken in etc. If not I wasted a good chunk of £30 for them all. But if you dont try, you dont know. But I am looking forward to using the SRS buckings. Its funny cause my TM MP7 GBB uses a similar design as the Laylax unit to push on the bucking centrally. Probably would work well in that unit. Ill get back to you guys once ive had some results. Davegolf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That depends on your general mechanical skill level. Its pretty easy to do, can be a tad fiddly is all. damster117 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've cut mine down and it holds more gas for sure, don't see any change in the consistensy of shots. I stuck the same skewer i used to replace the mag spring into the tube to see where the filling valve was and used a marker to see how long i could cut it. I left +- 1 inch extra so the zinc tube is a bit larger than the filling valve as this is the reason why some people get inconsistent shots (i've heard.) Can only recommend the mod. damster117 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
