Title: WTB: Retro Arms M249 Parts!
Post by: Phantom G3 on August 02, 2018, 11:17:05 AM

Just as the title suggests, I’m looking for some M249 parts made by Retro Arms!

I’m mainly looking for the following:

- CNC Gearbox Shell w/butt plug
- CNC Proprietary Hop Up Chamber

They look like the following, respectively:

Yes, I already know that the stock shell is a beast; however, I cannot use their awesome hop up chamber unless I have their shell. Also, my stock shell doesn’t like SHS gears—the gears fit too tightly in the shell and I can’t sand the bearings down anymore.

I have a bullgear m249 hop up chamber, brand new, unused. Given you were able to get some bushings to work with the gears in the stock shell.

I may take you up on that if I can’t find anyone with these two items. It’s unlikely that I will. I currently do not have any 8mm bushings. The only ones I have are glued into the Retro Arms V2 shell that I bought off you. I feel like switching to some SHS 8mm bushings could help my situation. If not, I’ll just go back to my stock set of gears for now.

I've got an assortment of 8mm bushing sets iirc. Anywhere from VFC steel, SHS, and possibly more if you go that route.
