Common problems with it catching consistently, many people have had the issue…you must be lucky 🙂 Interesting. I'll do some mag dumps this weekend and see if anything out of the ordinary happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found a few places listing TM MWS mags at £50ish, but alas no stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regamuffin Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 (edited) chaps, just to add to the growing comments, long time gbbr user, dabbled in AEG once not for me, could never get my head round a battery powered gun. never mind. I've owned several makes styles of GBBRs and every time come to my mws's ( not slating any brands, just my preference) after building a nice mws backlog, i come across this double eagle noveske, in the UK £350 and all i can say this is a no brainer for those looking to move to GBBRs or an mws eco system the build quality is really good, as stated above the upper and lower fit together seriously tight no wobble. internals well its an mws theres no ifs or butts about it, bolt locks on my mws and GM mags, even the mag that comes with it, is close to a GM mag. not been able to fully skirmish it yet and i do have some of the standard upgrades on there way but its certainly a thumbs up for the reasons stated above.

Maybe they've reduced the price. Either way if it's only £10 and in stock might be worth giving them a shot. Who knows... gavinkempsell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Diddy Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 I've just flicked through the Jaeger Precision video of the complete takedown of the Noveske.

RostokMcSpoons Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 (edited) Everything I've seen and read so far about this has impressed me, and as I can definitely see an M4 GBBR in my future collection. This overtakes the MWS as the likely candidate - because it's such a good value proposition. But... I have seen a video or two where the full-auto mag dumps aren't as good as the TM. Now I know from my experience with my '416 that they're not a thing done during actual skirmishing, but it'd be nice to understand if the apparent shortfall in ultimate 'at the limit' use is real or not, and how it'll affect cold-weather performance or fast semi-auto spamming. I'd also like to see some long-range testing, to see if that short barrel affects accuracy unduly... and also which gases can be used, and how they affect the joule output. Any likelihood Mr @Bada Bing will be purchasing and reviewing one? I fully trust his in-depth examinations of gas gats, and I'm sure it'd help many prospective purchasers enormously. (I can see MiddleAgedGamerUk has done an unboxing video, so he'll likely have a review up soon, but his test shooting tends to get done at rather short range, IIRC) Edited September 23, 2023 by RostokMcSpoons Nick G and C-Diddy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Diddy Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 I have to agree @RostokMcSpoons For an MWS compatible GBBR, this looks too good to be true. I'm glad we're getting the DE versions here (not a kidney shot at you Rostok, honest) as the T8 versions seem to have a few more issues from the limited research I've done. Also, T8 parts don't play nicely with anything other than T8 parts,so upgrading will be more limited, and on the quality front, T8 are no Guns Modify. It'd be nice to see a retailer send a review gun to @Bada Bing or Ollie Talks Airsoft, as they're basically the only YouTubers I follow that really understand GBB guns and aren't shills for manufacturers to hawk their products to the masses. I do hope that this brings more players to the GBBR space. It can only be good for the after-market parts (yes, we'll get some shit, but, you know, airsoft!) and more GBB players on the field would make for a more enjoyable experience for units like me to compete in 😂 JimFromHorsham and RostokMcSpoons 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mightyjebus Posted September 27, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 27, 2023 I've got one here. Initial impressions are it's a good copy of the MWS. Everything works as it should and the parts that need to be steel are steel. Negatives are it's very dry out the box and needs a good lub. I have a horrible high pitched ping from the recoil spring but I think a bit of lub will sort that out. The other thing to watch out for is the QC. I've found a few loose screws straight out the box so it's worth giving it a once over when you get one to make sure everything is tight. It might even be worthwhile using loctite on anything that is loose out the box. Also worth pointing out with mine that the FPS is very consistant with very little variation between shots which is nice.

Llewestymest Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 I am torn between this and the new URGI MWS XD anyone think this will hold up performance wise or should i just get the actual mws? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wavey_Gravey Posted September 28, 2023 Author Share Posted September 28, 2023 Nearly £300 difference between the two…and you’ll only go and “upgrade” the marui as everybody does. Id say get one of these, new hop rubber / nub and perhaps a new inner barrel and you’d still be quids in. And the Noveske is a Noveske…cool AF.

They look great and are a bit punchier than TM mags. Not as reliable though. I just had another three delivered today, with one more on the way. Look to the HK retailers as they're £42-£45 ea.

I've got 3 here and they all work fine but I've not spent a massive amount of time with them yet. I'm curious if the issues you are seeing are fixable.

1st commando Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Just lower recoil, more cool down and venting per shot and just generally not feeling as "punchy" mightyjebus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
