Im guessing you want a high rof so get a lipo and like a 120 in it.

u would have to get a m140 actualy bc the gearbox is longer and the piston is not longer like sr25s are rhino has a m140 in his

Well for externals, I would say add:

Full Stock
Aimpoint/ACOG/Elcan sights
RIS System
AN/PEQ-2
Forward Grip

then u have a MK48.

y would he buy the para then add a full stock to it?????????????

LOL! Great point!

We all have A&K 249's but we put m140 springs (approx 420 FPS) and lipo 11.1v batteries in ours. (We = me, Joker, Rhino, Tak, and at least 1 other person) I would suggest putting heavier gauge wiring in the gun if your using a lipo.

personally im not too familiar with the M259 so i would strongly suggest you replace the gears with thicker stronger gears, that lipo with grind them down pretty quickly if youre just laying down continuous fire. but once again i dont focus much on ROF and torque ups n such so thats not my area of knowledge, i got more for range and accuracy

stock gears will be perfectly fine wit a lipo just as long as they are shimmed rite.

Agreed.... They will Be MORE than fine in a M249. Their gear boxes are tanks!
