FN's M249S Para Rifle: A Lot of Fun for $11K!

[Talyn]

I know only @BET7, @10mmLife & @HansGruber can afford this but maybe there's more High-rollers here for one of these.

Does anyone have an extra $11,000 around? Dr. Will Dabbs would love to keep this civilian, semi-auto version of the iconic FN M249 SAW.​

I kinda wish I’d gotten one back when they were only $7-8k.

My fav LGS had the solid stock version, as did the last SAW I shot.

Never had a chance to use a shorty version like in this article.

The SAW jumped around too much for me & I preferred the M240.

You probably saved enough to make up the difference that couple weeks you couldn't drink beer after your surgery.

I have two of the three FN Military Collection Series (M4, M16), but not the M249S. My LGS had two of them and was trying to sell me one for $9K. At the time, it was a bit over my budget as I have other "I want" guns on my list currently. But I do want to complete that collection, so maybe one day.

By one day you mean one day next week right ?

With the inflation rates best to grab something when you can, & afford it.

Hint hint

Stock up on links.

Stock up on links.

I’ve got a buddy with a Shrike…he’s got tons of ‘em.

They’re steel, which is nice because all you need is a magnet to pick them up.

Did Talyn say links? These are for the M60. As you can see it's just a few. I wonder how many rounds it would take to fill all of these.

30 years ago, the little lady & I were at a Mo. gun show. A guy had a saw there with all the accessories & several belts of ammo. I drove a really nice, Ford Ranger 4X4, I told him I'd trade him my truck even up for the saw. But, he had to drive us home. It was close but he eventually said no. My wife who had been quiet the whole time, had plenty to say on the long ride home.

Shot the M60 and M249 at the local LGS.
Full auto rental
Quite fun
Though the M60 did jam

I have a few of these, three bags

 

[Belt Fed]

Several of the 250 round cloth belts and the loader, i don't keep too many of the cloth belts loaded as they tend to stick and cause malfunctions if left loaded for a long time.

I do have many belts loaded for the MG34 in original german cans and i mean many
