Airsoft Cloner explores the compatibility between the CGS T8 airsoft system and the popular Tokyo Marui MWS platform. He experiments by swapping upper and lower receivers between the two brands, discovering that while they generally fit together, there are some quirks with the bolt catch and buffer alignment. It turns out you can indeed create a mish-mash replica, though it might require a bit of patience and a willingness to ignore a few slightly stubborn pins.

The main drama unfolds when trying to get Tokyo Marui magazines to feed reliably in the CGS rifle. After some trial and error with different bolts and buffers, Airsoft Cloner performs a bit of surgical intervention on the bolt carrier. Despite some frustration with a stubborn E-clip and a few mystery parts that may or may not be important, the solution presents itself in the form of a cheap Double Eagle MWS nozzle. It’s a classic case of a fifteen-pound part saving the day and preventing a very expensive paperweight.

He says that the CGS is a solid option for those wanting to expand their MWS collection without breaking the bank on high-end kits. By simply swapping the nozzle, users can keep using their hoard of existing magazines without the rifle throwing a tantrum.
