Want to buy an m249?

Recommended Posts

Now you can without a tax stamp.

 

Didn't see this posted. I assume it's nj legal sans the flash suppressor. I'm not sure of the belt fed mode either, I know there were opinions it may ok.

 

Anyway, would you get one?

I always had a thing for the Squad Automatic Weapon. Except this one cannot adorne that acronym SAW. It will have to be called CSW (civilian semiautomatic weapon).

 

But for a little more money when I move to free America in the very near future I can buy an AC556 with a tax stamp.

Semi Automatic Weapon.   If you're paying that much for one, call it a SAW.

You find an AR-15 with a bipod and a BETA mag more effective in anything you want to do with it. "But I can change barrels" You can change AR uppers cheaper.

 

Good M249 barrels can be had for $125ish on Gunbroker.  Last October, I bought 20 of the "long" barrels for $95ea at Knob Creek and all looked to be hardly used.  There's a shocking amount of surplus parts floating around for the Mk46/M249 platform.

Complete? Did not expect that. Doesn't change anything :) A semi AR on a bipod is better and cheaper than a semi M249 at everything.

Mine are minus the plastic heatshield as those start melting after a single 200 round belt.  And I agree 10000% on a semi-auto AR being better and cheaper than a semi-auto M249.

The expected MSRP will be between $7,000-$7,500 for the standard production models - See more at: http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2015/04/10/fnh-usa-release-semi-auto-version-m249-public/#sthash.diaOqK8P.dpuf

Would still be a lot cheaper than buying an M240

I thought OOW also made a a semi M249, but I don't see it listed. They used to have an semi M60 for around the same price as a M240
