Have you any experience of an MWS to compare it to?  I've been swinging back and forth on buying a V3 VFC for a while, but Jaeger Precisions latest range test of them vs MWS shows suggests they are still not there in terms of accuracy.  

 

If this latest revision of their hop can close that gap I'd be interested to know.

I've had both mws and vfc rifles among other gbb platforms. I've since sold all my mws rifles and kept buying vfc . I've not had an issue with accuracy and certainly nothing that couldn't be solved by a new hop rubber if I couldn't be bothered to wear in the stock hop

Been waiting on this all day...

 

This thing has a kick & I'm extremely pleased with it, the stocks a bit wobbly but planning on replacing it anyway (along with the grip).

 

This was on pre-order (from the day I posted my weakness) & arrived by DPD today.

It has npas btw

[ButcherBill]

I was wondering about that, the allen key doesn't seem to fit the npas tho (assuming it's just for the hop).

The key in the box is for the hop

Yeah, I guessed as much.

1.5mm hex key for the NPAS.

 

It'll probably benefit from heavier BBs than .25s as well

Anyone else got one for going around corners?

What happened to it? 

[ButcherBill]

Ouch.

 

Looks like you need one of those barrel wrenches that aren't available yet.

Yep, definitely hasn’t happened in transit as packaging is unmarked. Must be a CQ issue, I think Stevie Wonder was on that day

 

Outer barrel is central to the rail, it’s all on the piss

[hitmanNo2]

Oh dear.  What retailer did that come from?

[Jacket]

Not sure, it was bought from here!

[ButcherBill]

Then I hope you've spoken to the seller & paid  using paypal?

Yep, sent back today. Paid with G&S, seller said they will refund + postage cost when it arrives back. 
Pretty bad luck, looks like the barrel nut was cross threaded onto the receiver. Never seen a barrel that wonky, even my first TM M16VN in 1997 wasn’t that bad!

Bet it was cross threaded because the proper tool isn't available yet and 'someone' likes to fiddle.

I'm struggling to get more than 15 bb's in the mag, is it just bedding in?

Honestly don’t think it has been touched at all. If it had been tinkered with, without the VFC tool, I think there would have been scratches all over it. Pretty sure a QC issue from the factory, but how it could have got out being that wonky is beyond me!

[hitmanNo2]

VFC have clearly hired ex GHK QC staff 😄

The VMags have a feed track that's too narrow, and you need to butcher it a bit to allow the BBs to stack properly.
