I have the Mk11, solid gun. The quick change barrel can be temperamental. Hop is utter crap, can be fixed easily. The box mag requires mods to function reliably again very easy to do. The stock on the para folds out by pulling it back and twisting it 90 degrees. When deployed the para stock is solid

amaughan

any advice on how to fix these problems dude thank so much for the reply

Have a read of this

Note that the hop up chamber I got was machined better than that in the review but I did have to replace the little nub its to short. I replaced my box mag with this http://www.uncompany.com/images/mag-249-cartpouch-camo_big.jpg it dose not have the sound activation but it has the same 2500 capacity but is about half the size of the original mag.

There all basically the same gun with different barrels and stocks.

I would recommend any of the guns to anyone to be honest. I would also recommend that you don't go cheap when buying a sling for it, I have a ca m249 sling plenty of padding and strong clips at the ends.

I have the para. Its a beast, and i have had no props with it. It comes with a handy rail on the dust cover, which you can mount a scope or a red dot on it. Also you will need a quailty sling on it, cos its a heavy piece. The spring is well easy to change out in it too.

Is there any other Support AEG's out there around the same Price of the A&K 249 ??
I want another one or something different?

I'm tempted to buy the Para as I love the stock.
I've already got a MII.

At first I thought the rate of fire was not great but after comparing it
to some of my other AEG's its great with the higher voltage battery.
very very nice ROF.

My Box mag does not feed/work right and I tried following the instructions for the fix
but got lost quickly. I've only used it with standard Magazines which wobble a bit
when inserted.

The ABS/Plastic I would love to age or make a bit more realistic looking it looks
a little to new.

The barrel drove me nuts and I dont trust it. The Area that is used to lock it in place
is not the best. Got pics here:

Any reasonable Gympi's out there? now that would be a piece of kit.

mine is perfect so far even the hop up

My one is grand, except I don't have a battery yet (it's a para, so am using the cranestock of the compact seal to try it out and it was deadly.

Got sold the wrong one somewhere, but I think they thought it was a MkII as opposed to a para that I had.

I'm not sure about the sound control feeder - whether it's working, but on the auto it's fine.

I'll have to play a bit with the hop up, couldn't really try it out cos it was windy and wet yesterday at HRTA. I was using the handle as my sight/target guide :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

oh and you need to get a proper 249 sling for it,

I fitted an ordinary one and it was hurting after, but grand with the proper one.

And it's not tooooooooo heavy

Inokatsu do a rather sexy Gimpy. It is however Inokatsu. If you're not sure what I'm talking about, you will when you click the link to Fire-SUpport.co.uk

Shoot n'Scoot also do one. Custom built so it's not cheap, although cheaper than the Inokatsu.

Beyond that, I'm not sure of anyone who does an airsoft GPMG.
