    Is there a longer gun besides the 10 footer for .30 wire that would be good? Machine is great 10 foot gun is just to short. ThanksRob O'

    You should check with Miller IF the machine drive roll system will be able to handle a longer gun. I read where some have tried longer guns on machines and caused issues .

      Mostly due to the puny wire drive motor, Miller isn't going to recommend using anything longer than a 10' gun lead on a MM 180 or MM 211.

        That's what I was afraid of,

          The flex neck Miller gun I purchased from HTP is a nice gun . The lead is nice and flexible. I wouldn't recommend the flex neck version as a general purpose gun. I'd stay with a rigid neck as my general purpose gun. Anyway, what I am trying to get across is that HTP offer a pretty good gun that is relatively inexpensive.

          If you want to go with a longer gun length then 10', I'd give a 12' gun lead a try. Of course the 12' length through HTP is currently out of stock. It doesn't generally take them very long to have their guns back in stock though. With that small little drive motor I don't think I'd waste my time and money on a 15' gun lead.

            15ft. Prostar ( Praxair )

            If you live near a Praxair Dealer, check out their 15ft. Prostar gun & whip.
            I've been using them for years .
            They are near identical to Bernard's, with the Center Fire nozzle & tips !
