    Recently i bought an M249 here and to be honest its pretty much a ball of sh!t, But I've already put money into getting it "repaired" & re-sprayed etc.

    Has anyone here built a custom saw?, could ye give me any advice. Miss-fires alot and I thought it was jamming but it was something to do with the hop-up rubber - so replaced that still with no luck.:mad:

    So basically I want to build this up from the shell, or does anyone know of anyone who'd be willing to re-build this for me?:confused:

    Cheers

    What make is your M249? If its the A&K M249 they do need a bit of work to get them running decently.

    A guy did an amazing review of it and he also included fixes for the main problems with it. Have a read through this, the fixes are towards the end.

    After you put the new hop up rubber in, does it mis-fire or mis-feed?
