eh, eh ,eh lemme take it from here. okay, i own the m249 para from A&K. a warrany really isnt necessary, the thing is indestructable. its about the easiest gun to take apart/ clean/ and upgrade the gearbox with. the flash hider is incredibly difficult to get off, but that shouldnt be a problem. its only 270 on airsplat.

I call bullshit on most of that.
All you need is a GOOD barrel, a seal and shim job, (done by Jared at Gearbox), a red dot sight, and a 11.1 lipo.
I have the a&k para and have had only 1 issue, and thats when it continues to fire on its own but theres a quick simple fix for that.
I have under $300 for everything, including the gun. Lets see,
Gun $225 (shipped)
Barrel $35
Gears $30 (i bent a gear doing something stupid)
Final price, $290
The lipo, high grade silicon wire, and red dot are used on other guns so I do not factor that in.
Also, $45 for fake links?!?!?! Thats a crazy price! Buy links and some ammo and build it yourself!
ROF is about 18rps and range is over 200' now. I use a silencer to cover the extended barrel. If you have the mkI,I want to say a standard barrel is 509mm. Also the flash hider is very easy to get off, wrap it in a cloth and get a pare of vise grips, it will come right off.
EDIT: I 'saw' your only 14 saw gunner, no wonder. :roll:
