Re: short range why? 249
There is a design fault on the hop system with m249's but fear not, it is easily remedied.
If u take your hop apart you will see that the nub stands on its end rather than horizontally. But, oh noes, the nub is too short to do anything. Simply replace it with a slightly longer one, or better yet the insulation from some 16awg wire, cut to length. This will take some trial and error before you get it the right length, but once done, rejoice! your beast will have some decent range. I have now completed this mod on no less than 3 whole occasions and it is
really easy to do. I normally expect 55-65m range with standard barrel and decent hop rubber, using this method.

Re: short range why? 249
get a bic pen, and then cut a small length from the end of the ink tube and use that as your hop up nub. the harder material greatly improves the hop effect.
i came up with that bodge for mine many years ago when they first came out as the hop was poo!
