Designed for CA M249 / A&K M249 / Echo1 M249 / Matrix M249 series. Not compatible with Featherweight version. Can work with Middleweight version with modifications.
*2020 Gen 5 kit, increased air volume for better power output as well as heavier feeling recoil.
The Daytona Airsoft M249 kit converts your AEG M249 to a HPA-powered recoil system that allows you to use AEG M249 box mags or M4 mags. No more green gas or propane cooldown.
Standard version offers around 1.5 - 1.8J with 0.20g BBs @ 120 PSI. Low power version offers around 1.0 - 1.3J with 0.20g BBs @ 120 PSI. Note that these are averages and depending on your system (barrel length, BB weight and joule creep, installation, etc.) the results may vary.
There will be a 2 - 4 week leadtime for Low Power versions as we will need to modify them (in addition to backorder/pre-order leadtimes, if applicable).

The Daytona Airsoft System kit means you can have even more recoil, more noise than a GBB system, and increased effective range like the fusion engine, without spending a fortune on GBBR mags. It requires around a 2000-4000 bb break-in period where a small number of fliers and chopping of bbs may occur. This is normal while the system is breaking in.
You are required to install an AEG barrel made of either brass or steel. Never use aluminum barrels since it will be bent by hop up set screws. You also need to prepare an HPA tank and Redline regulator with single QD disconnector wide bore airline.
During the break-in period, please keep lubing your gun with getsome 1000 lubricant. Only use quality BBs that you intend to use for gaming during break-in, never cheap out. As soon as all your shots are consistent you can turn on the hop-up gradually (1/8 turn each time) until you reach your designated trajectory.
