How much does an echo 1 m249 para run for?

Love · August 22nd, 2010, 13:06

Hmm, I don't run much in airsoft. I jog.

I'm in pretty decent shape. And have a lot of energy thanks to adhd. hahaa

I'll think a lot ofcourse before I make any decision, as I do find myself in both situations. Sometimes I'd just lay and provide cover fire and try to take down guys. but then again, I also find myself jogging to a location, taking cover, shooting, then moving again.

Might as well ask this too:

If the Echo 1 M249 PARA breaks down, are parts readily availiable? or is it (or any other m249) going to be a pain in the butt to fix?

you can get barrels, mech boxes from various companies, stocks, forestocks, I saw a reciever once but that was an american site, I have an E-1 m249 MKII they won't break down. their pretty solid guns

They used to run for $700

Now the supply of China guns has diminished.

Good luck finding one :P

I have an opportunity to get one for $500. Brand new.

I'm 19, not AV'ed. So its not from this site, no worries.

If thats a CA M249 for $500, snatch that shit up now.

Love · August 25th, 2010, 12:50

Its an Echo 1, should I still snatch it up?

Love · August 25th, 2010, 15:16

Sweet.

The seller is gonna toss in a madbull 6.03 barrel and a systema m110 spring.

Crunchmeister · August 25th, 2010, 15:19

The beauty of that gun is the quick-swap spring. You can replace springs in a matter of a few minutes if you need to change velocities.

But I have the A&K version. Other than the hopup being shit and needing some modding or replacement, it's a beast of a gun. I did a slight mod on the hopup and still don't dare to install the CA replacement I bought for it a year ago, as I fear it may not work as well. The range on it with the current setting is just retarded...

Crunchmeister · August 25th, 2010, 15:44

Dutchie, you seriously need to read the forum rules. That post you just made is a MAJOR violation of forum rules.

Love · August 27th, 2010, 12:27

How much does a new hopup cost?

And how would I install it?

It's held on be a C-clip, just like any other. With the quick release barrel it's pretty easy to get to.

Crunchmeister · August 27th, 2010, 12:48

The "mod" I did was replacing the stock hopup nub with a piece of 16 gauge speaker wire insulation. Works better than any hopup I've seen to date and it was free.

Love · August 27th, 2010, 12:51

Ouch, $50.

Crunch, do you have a guide to your method?

Danke · August 27th, 2010, 12:58

Here's a really good and detailed review with photos and notes of the fixes for some of the little glitches like the hop up nub.
