Classic Army 249 mk2 brand new for £265.

Can't grumble at that - now just to find a decent after market hop up for it......

Why Classic Army? I'm from a time when they were considered the best of the bunch, id still put them over A&K, S&T, SA & the like, They take Stanag's & I've got access to an ASCU for one. Properly excited and that doesn't happen a lot!

Nice! I am going to be working on a CA Stoner LMG for a friend soon; it is the first LMG that I have worked on, so I am looking forward to it.

Good luck, mines been a nightmare. So much promise though. From the off: add an extra two screws between the grip and gearbox, swap to a bullgear hop unit - and be prepared to play around with rubbers and inner barrel combos; and run the box mag off a rechargeable 9v lithium battery.

Thanks. We have the Bullgear hop unit ready to fit and I think that the problem he is having is at least partly related to the hob rubber/barrel.

From memory, i ended up using an old barrel from a JG G36C, together with a Chinese clone of a MR Hop rubber and omega nub. The positioning of the cut/window in the barrel (probably the forwards/backwards location) seems to be crucial for good operation of the bullgear hop unit. Bullgear recommend a prommy purple, but that didn't work for me with the stock barrel or any others that i tried.
