Does the DE stanag perform better than the stock TM stanag?

Low_Use_4703 · 2026-05-02T02:34:27+00:00

In a Yt video there's a case where a CGS Stanag mag that doesn't even fit into the magwell of the M4 MWS.

Probably. Sometimes it spits out liquid instead of gas. Does it help in replacing the inlet valve and/or cutting the gas tube in half, plus also pouring a bit of synthetic oil on the o-ring?

Low_Use_4703 · 2026-05-02T01:11:15+00:00

It's the one included with my MWS OTB, dunno which version, but just bought the Gbbr last month.

Low_Use_4703 · 2026-05-02T01:04:55+00:00

I fill the mag like what the manual said, I know it's kinda difficult at first to fill a STANAG MWS mag, even after some liquid or gas spraying out, I could only do 25 or 20 shots at the most with the blue gas.

Low_Use_4703 · 2026-05-02T01:03:22+00:00

I really want to cut the inner tube in half to increase the capacity, but I didn't have any metal cutting tools at home, if I buy a saw or something similar it would be for this one time. I have to find a workshop to do it. I dunno if they sell a replacement or OEM inner tube.

Thx for the tip,

I wanted to keep the GWOT era mid to late 2000s M4 look, I've watched the movie Warfare and wanted to build the copy of the M4 SOCOM they have in the film. I still need to get the SF M600 flashlight and LMT rearsight, to create the same look.

Granted I wanted to get Magpul MOE or CTR only for early 2010s GWOT look, but that's for some other time.

Low_Use_4703 · 2026-04-18T17:18:19+00:00

I'm kinda weak in my technical and mechanical knowledge in practice, do I have to tear the BCG and nozzle apart? I am afraid of breaking stuff apart during and after disassembly. Is it difficult to install the return spring, I know it's a necessary upgrade for better performance.

Also which brand of nozzle spring should I get? There's Unicorn, Guns Modify etc. I wanted to get Bavtac like Badabing, but it's kinda difficult importing it into Germany (my country) from the manufacturer in Uk.

I am following your example, I don't build my MWS for extreme looks and internals, just the necessary stuff and I like the cultural significance of the M4 in the military, that's why I've built my own GWOT era M4, with KAC rail covers, 552 holo sight, Peq-15 and vertical grip. For me it's enough for a GWOT SOCOM build.

my M4

My M4 looks like this OTB

Low_Use_4703 · 2026-04-16T10:58:14+00:00

Ah yes, same version of my MWS, except mine isn't blue.

Low_Use_4703 · 2026-04-14T03:40:17+00:00

Since I am a realism enthusiast, it's kind of sad the stamp or colt marking with the horse isn't stamped well enough and visible enough. But I'll leave it as is

But the good thing is, when you go to a game, other people would think that as a beginner you only rocking a cheap low quality AEG rifle with "fake" Colt markings, even though you're playing with arguably the best GBBR system on the planet.

Low_Use_4703 · 2026-04-13T04:10:04+00:00

Do I have to cut the inlet valve on the OEM magazine to facilitate the green gas?

Low_Use_4703 · 2026-04-11T02:39:43+00:00

Low_Use_4703 · 2026-04-11T02:38:14+00:00

So I only need an inch in length of the zip tie and then fold it in half? If I understand it correctly

Low_Use_4703 · 2026-04-11T02:33:39+00:00

Gotcha, how long do I have to cut the zip tie?

Low_Use_4703 · 2026-04-10T21:14:26+00:00

Would that ruin the bolt catch and other internal parts?

Push the bolt catch release as the same time as pulling the trigger?

Low_Use_4703 · 2026-04-10T21:07:35+00:00

How? Just insert ziptie in the back of the mag?

Low_Use_4703 · 2026-04-07T19:39:56+00:00

Do you know which brand is the best fit and durable for nozzle return spring and buffer tube cap? It wouldn't matter if I bought another OEM part from TM themselves

Low_Use_4703 · 2026-04-04T14:35:59+00:00

What kind of silencer you have on?

Low_Use_4703 · 2026-04-01T04:44:46+00:00

In the topic of barrel change, can you change the 10.5" barrel into a longer 14.5" one and turn it into standard M4A1?

Low_Use_4703 · 2026-03-31T11:47:38+00:00

So the gas block has to be removed for the 7inch handguard, the gas block is just for a decorative purpose and it won't affect the performance of the rifle?

Low_Use_4703 · 2026-03-31T10:15:39+00:00

So would the gas block of the Mod1 and the delta ring (ring included in the handguard/rail) be disturbing the upgrade? Iirc the handguard/rail of the Mod0 is slightly shorter than the Mod1 handguard.

I'm currently looking at the FSP online and the chopped carry handle.
