Salvo Precision MCX SURG MWS GBBR (S005B-01)
The Salvo Precision MCX SURG (S005B-01) is a gas blowback rifle styled on the MCX-based SURG used by US special operations units, built around the well-proven MWS gas system. A retailer listing for code S005B-01 describes it as the low-profile SURG version, with a slim SURG M-LOK handguard and a suppressor, in a two-tone finish with a flat dark earth upper and a black lower.
Salvo Precision is known for high-quality, MCX-style GBB rifles with CNC-machined construction and genuinely realistic handling. Its rifles take popular MWS-pattern magazines and many MWS aftermarket parts, which makes them easy to live with and easy to upgrade. The SURG suits players who want a premium, realistic gas rifle for milsim and skirmish.
Build and finish
The same listing describes CNC-machined aluminium construction with steel-reinforced components, giving a rigid, solid rifle that feels like a real firearm in the hands. The two-tone colour scheme, FDE upper over a black lower, is one of the most recognisable looks of the modern SURG.
The listing gives an overall length of about 760mm and a weight of about 3.0kg. Ambidextrous QD sling points let you set up a sling on either side, and the rifle has Picatinny and M-LOK rail interfaces for optics, lights, lasers and grips, plus a Picatinny stock rail interface.
Performance and internals
The rifle is built on the MWS ZET GBB system, according to the listing, with Salvo’s short-stroke SCX bolt and an integrated hop-up base. The hop-up is adjustable, and the inner barrel is listed as 286mm. A curved trigger gives safe, semi and full-auto modes.
As a gas blowback rifle, the bolt cycles on every shot, giving real recoil and the sound and feel of a working rifle. It runs on green gas or top gas, and the listing warns against lighter fluid or butane, which can cause permanent damage.
Handling
The low-profile handguard keeps the front end slim and comfortable to hold, and the M-LOK slots let you add only the accessories you need. With the suppressor fitted, the rifle has the distinctive long, clean profile of the SURG. The outer barrel has a 14mm counter-clockwise thread for muzzle devices and tracers.

Care and maintenance
Store the rifle with the magazine removed and keep a little gas in each magazine so the seals stay supple. Put a drop of silicone oil on the magazine fill valve and seals now and then; never use petroleum-based oils. Allow magazines to warm up between uses in cold weather, as cold gas reduces performance.
Clean the inner barrel with a rod and lightly oiled patch if accuracy drops, and use good quality seamless 6mm BBs. Lightly lubricate the bolt and buffer area with silicone oil from time to time, and check screws and rail accessories before each game. Keep the rifle away from heat and direct sunlight.

Please note: Gas and BBs are not included. A retailer listing gives the box contents as the rifle only, so please contact us if you need to confirm whether a magazine is included. Always wear suitable eye and face protection, and check the power limits at your site before play.
