How much does an echo 1 m249 para run for?

Thanks Danke.

I see that, that review mentions the method that crunch used, but shows an alternate method.

Is there a guide on how to do crunch's method? (Using some electrical wire to make a nub.)?

Crunch, do you have a guide to your method?

1. Remove hopup nub (stupid easy to do)
2. Strip piece of insulation from a 16 gauge speaker wire
3. using an exacto, cut it the same length as the hopup nub.
4. Replace nub with the piece you cut
5. Reassemble hopup / gun
6. Fire gun and laugh at people getting hit 150 feet away.

I would like to add that you can also port the hole where the bb enters. It made a difference on my A&K m249. I got mine second hand with all upgraded gears, piston, spring, stainless tight barrel, airseal nozzle and mosfet for 120 bucks from a friend and it was only used for 3 games. I'm really happy with mine and even for the price of a brand new one its still a great gun cause a lot of upgrades and fixes are available.

Lucky you! Brand new M249s def cost more than $129 here.

Airsoft guns are a lot cheaper here in the Philippines and we're also neighbors with Taiwan, China and Japan. Though our community is having a 1 1/2 month break due to a gun ban cause of a coming local election. Anyway I never thought being a gunner is so much fun! The m249 is a joy to tinker with cause its so easy to get the mechbox out and the mechbox is so easy to fix and upgrade. If you can't afford or find a mosfet you can use a car horn relay as a substitute which is cheaper and easier to find.

i would like to ask about the quality of the Box mag on both the Echo1 and A&K, are they reliable or complete crap.

holy necropost batman!!! Anyways box mags are pretty decent actually just has trouble feeding while on the sound control option when you're firing on high rof (bb's cant keep up), on auto feeding it feeds beautifully.
