The spring can be changed in under 45 seconds and that is not an exaggeration either. It is heavier than the RPK though, but the up side is that its not a commie weapon

2 screws if it's the full length version or if it's rear wired.
I'd get the m249 over the RPK any day, super easy to work on. And like eeyore said the quick spring swap makes it easy to go to lower FPS's for the indoor games or vice versa. M249 bodies are steel IIRC (well my magnets stick to em)
