Replacement Mig gun for Lincoln 255

BarkinDog · Mar 24, 2009

I bought a Lincoln 255 mig welder. The mig gun works okay but it's a little on the big clunky side. An suggestions on a good replacement? I've seen Tweco and others that seem lighter and smaller. Does it make any sense to upgrade this or should I just stick with the stock Magnum 250L gun? Are Tweco's the best? If you know the part number of a suggested replacement gun please include that, I noticed Tweco has many different guns with the same specs but differnt part numbers.

I put a tweco on my Miller 175, and I am happy with the gun, it's the drive that sometimes bugs me. Might be time to get a new roller wheel. I got a 12ft gun, and it feeds well enough considering that it is a long push for the drive. I hated the short 9ft stock lead. Too short!!

Tweeco and Lincoln are similar. I would go with the stock on that machine. Its light, big enough and handy. I have a wirematic 250 and it still has the original gun. The machine is a 93.

Go with a Bernard gun (1st choice) or a Tregaskiss. I love my Bernard guns. They make my Magnum look wimpy

. When I burn up my magnum 250 I replace it with a bernard. I have never been a fan of the tweeco, too big and bulky.
