Generally speaking lubing up your BB's is a bad idea.  It makes your hop up rubber not work properly thus giving you poor and inconsistent results when shooting, and I mean well out of the range of what you want a SAW to be inconsistently shooting at (since it's more of an Area weapon then a laser)  If you want to improve feeding tou need a better battery for the box mag and you may consider dropping the voltage and amperage on the battery down so it can keep up.

Vince, your advice is priceless in this case.  (Sometimes it can be a bit off key :P... ooooooooo take that ><)

I had another question, but I dint want to start another thread.  

Where does one find the barrel extension thats found on the mkII's? They all seem to have the same length outer, but the mkII just has an uber long flash hider/barrel extension.  I have been looking all week for one!!!

I have the para, but I need the barrel extension so I can use a 509mm barrel on it.

They are hard to find.  I haven't seen them available at any of the overseas retailers.  I have one on my 249 Para because someone wanted a 249 with a solid stock and short barrel and traded me.
