I own a A&K m249. It's alright for the money. I opened it up to replace the motor w/ a better one, and to re-shim it. I couldn't believe what I found. The gear bushing holes for one of the gears was actually not even lined up right! At first I thought it was my eyes, until I measured them-they are definitely out of spec. I put everything back together. I'm currently a chairsofter due to neck surgery, so I havn't really used it any. I'm reasonably sure the gears will get lunched one day,but hey, for $250, not bad. I do like the brick GB design, especially the electric switch trigger. I have six CA rifles of diffrent design and have had minor to major problems w/ every one of them. All in stock configuration.
