taylorwso Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 What parts have you worn out/had fail?? I had a mga semi and broke alk kinds of stuff. Poor design. I now have a real minimi and I'm collecting parts. What do I need to get? I have a couple barrels extractor kit, recoil spring, and ejector. What else? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron in Mohnton Pa Posted October 11, 2020 Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 I have seen a few people break bolt slides .... of course they are very hard to find. Recoil springs good to have a few spares of. All springs can wear out eventually ... How long your parts last of course depend on shooting habits. The guys that I see breaking a lot of parts run the crap out of their guns year round. Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machineguntony Posted October 28, 2020 Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 I had the two pins on the back of the op rod break. Not sure how to describe them, but it’s the two little pins that stick out of the boxy looking object that is connected to the op rod that keeps the op rod from jumping out. Fortunately, I have a ton of spare 249 parts, so I was able to replace it from my supply. So far, that’s the only thing on my 249 that broke. Mine runs like a top, but I clean it and keep it in pristine condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think those are just roll pins, but probably need to keep on hand as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coltnac Posted November 7, 2020 Report Share Posted November 7, 2020 I have about 5000 rds. through mine and I have noticed a bit of erosion at the back end of my gas tube.. Also not a bad idea to keep spare springs and firing pins.. Barrels if you do continuous dumps of 200+ rds per trigger pull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
