You can just buy some low resistance wire and wire it to the back yourself.

I had the para stock and just did the wiring myself. I took some wire from radio shack and took the gearbox out. I also wired it to be able to hold two batteries. So now in my stock I have 2 10.8v batteries. It was pretty easy all you really need is some head shrink wire and a solder gun.

Ok I haven't done any wiring myself but hey there's a always first time for everytime. A few quick questions, do I need a fuse? How do I wire the trigger switch? Well Im asking questions does the M249 GB use a Ver 2 Cylinder head, and how do you undo the wires from the Trigger switch. Thanks so much for the help guys.

I've never wired any guns, but you're probably going to need a soldering iron to get started. Melt the places where the wires connect to the boxes, remove and re-melt, then re place the wires.
