Hi , let us know how you go with the accuracy, my GE was shooting left and adjustment to high [ rubber glued the top tongue up], hop up miss aligned .
I see CEHs GM AR MK-15 is sold out now. The GE models are all thats available i guess. I like mine but have zero faith it will pass the test of time given the issues on delivery and reports of failed bolts and charging handles, Scared to use it frankly given zero parts available.
Does anyone have any news on the next GBBR drops? WATINT mentioned they were getting WETECHs at some point if i recall. They also have their King Arms ones on their website. Haven’t heard zip on RPMs planned release (GMs?). Vendors i spoke to before buying the GE preached the next drop will be coming with parts and mods but so far zero. Smells awefully like the promises TacEdge and Azraels made about their WE TECH Berettas (the mags are coming, the mags are coming)
Starting to wonder if this was a one time thing. Did ABF fk up in letting the GEs in?
Mate you worried over nothing.
The “failed” bolts - all I’ve seen is a broken steel plate that catches the bolt. I have not come across any other bolt failures.
The charging handles are the only true common weak point and can be replaced by most charging handles on the market. Ihobby have a resupply of charging handles that they have been sending to those with issues.
Just use you blaster and if the charging handle breaks get a replacement from ihobby. If you that worried buy an airsoft one now and you’ll have it in a few weeks.
As for other blasters on the market RPM said they won’t have theirs before July. It’s a ground up build as a MWS gel blaster not just changing particular components to make it gel compatible. Wat always said theirs would be March/April and just said the other day they will be here next month. That’s their King Arms. The We Techs will be later in the year. And as for CEH they announced more GM product will be here soon including their complete range of parts.
It’s all happening you just have to give it time.
As titles states anyone with an mws gbbr out there? wud do you think about it and would anyone know if they are ever going to be in stock again or nah?
Moved for cleanliness purposes. You can find the information in this thread.
You can see my comments above regarding my MWS
CEH have the Guns Modify MWS back in stock.
RPM have said they will have the second shipment arriving soon - whatever that means.
Both are good options.
I think the RPM one edges out the GM on build quality and features.
Where mine currently stands now
Not much is original now. Only the trigger box, buffer spring, forward assist, selector, mag release and hop chamber.
The receiver is a GM cerakoted BCM receiver. Bolt carrier and Handguard are Angrygun. Outer barrel is 5KU. Other BCM components are real steel.
I would never go back to AEG.
$1,100 to $1,600 for new GBBR releases. One GBBR or 10 x Jund / Cymas or 3 x GE metal M4’s or diff rebuild or 2 x Holleys or a set of Koni’s. Another win for Konis - thankfully the last set I need.
Let’s see - Cat-H licence and CZ75B
That thing is way too long if i were to buy that one but idk anymore
Think i could buy a golden eagle n start replacing the internals?
It’s not the internals that are the weak points. It’s the externals. The buffer tube and the receiver.
The buffer is not Milspec it’s something else so you need to re-tap the receiver to fit a normal Milspec buffer tube.
The receiver is pot metal. I’ve seen a number of the trigger guards snap from changing trigger guards. If you aren’t changing them it should be ok.
The advantage of the Mws platforms is the GM is die cast aluminium and the rpm is 7075 CNC aluminium.
It’s big step up in durability.
The MWS system is more functional than the WA system and parts are more available.
i doubt they are going to have them in stock when i can afford to waste money on one though so idk
Re-tap the buffer thread? That’s a pretty bad oversight from the manufacturer to produce a model that has proprietary threads on the receiver
It’s a seriously big dollar investment for something so bland and having factory weaknesses/cheap materials.
For that price, I would expect everything to be proper CNC Alloys and standard hardware!
It’s not that Commercial spec buffer tube is it? It’s diameter is different from Milspec tube. Ran in to that problem on the Remington.
IIRC the threads were same just the tube O.D was different. Either buy commercial or Milspec stocks to fit it properly or you get a wobbly stock.
Had similar problems with the anodised cqb stock I just fitted to the gen8 project
Went through every buffer tube nut I had and the threads and diameter were different to what this one needed
Finally found one in the shed in a box of bits I had forgotten about
Commercial and Milspec are indeed same thread size it’s just the tube size is different for the stock.
To be perfectly honest different spec buffer tubes are common.
Genuine TM MWS’s run a proprietary thread. Fortunately the GM MWS receivers are Milspec threads so can utilise Milspec and commercial real steel buffer tubes. It’s not really required as the standard buffer tubes are excellent but the option is there.
I think your expectations for blaster specs are too high. We don’t have the volume to bring costs down to meet your expectations. As an example a BJTac 7075 CNC receiver is $500 USD. Their CNC complete trigger box is $350 USD.
Cheers for the information!
Yeah, quality alloys is definitely not a great marketing/production cost vs. profits idea for manufacturing in this hobby…… especially when prices of these toys are already pushing the boundaries of actual real steel that is available.
This is strictly my opinion but we just cannot make the comparison.
And to be perfectly honest you only need to go to airsoft to see that even there it is an impossible comparison
Look at what you pay for a BCM MCMR 11 real steel.
Let’s say $1500 usd give or take
Now let’s say you want to build a MWS with the materials you stated
So BJTAC receiver $500 USD
CNC trigger group $350 USD
Bolt carrier sans nozzle $250 USD
And you still need nozzle group, barrel, mag release, hop chamber, inner barrel, buffer, buffer tube, hand guard, stock, selector, grip, gas block, gas tube, receiver end plate, trigger guard, forward assist. If you get all that in $500 usd you’re doing well.
And as I said that is Airsoft…
Yes, certainly seems an insane amount of money for someone to spend on an Airsoft rig when real steel is so comparatively the same in price terms!
That was only one very narrow example.
Start looking up Hao parts, Z Parts and similar. Look at what a forged receiver will set you back. Or a steel outer barrel. DLC coated flash hiders. But you get my drift.
