MTW AK-105 Front Assembly Alignment

If you have disassembled your MTW AK-105, it can become possible for the front assembly to become canted during reassembly. This does not affect performance but can be noticeable when looking at the top rail position.

See the video below for an explanation on how to straighten the assembly.

Removing the MTW Castle Nut and Buffer Tube

QUAKE MTW

Like a real firearm, the MTW uses a real steel castle nut which can be removed with an armorer’s wrench by turning it counter-clockwise.

The buffer tube should then unscrew counter-clockwise from the lower receiver.

On MTWs with the FRAC installed like the MTW-308 and Gen-12 MTW Shotgun, a small amount of blue Loctite is applied to the buffer tube threads during manufacturing, requiring a little additional force to remove.

When reinstalling the buffer tube, make sure you don’t screw it past flush with the inside of the lower receiver.
