Want to buy an m249?

[checko 180]

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'll take one, you buying?

[checko 180]

Group buy?

[fishnut 2,358]

that's sweet. I wonder how much they cost though.

[Polak 3]

Probably expensive as hell. But, it's purty.....

[Krdshrk 3,877]

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

[checko 180]

Holy shit. That's way more than I expected.

[fishnut 2,358]

yup I want it but not for that price

[tattooo 220]

That's wayyyyy too high

[ogfarmer 138]

 

from Shooting Illustrated "FNH USA semi-automatic SAW. That's right, a semi-auto M249. Retail will be around $7,000, which is about what the military pays for the machine gun version."

[mipafox 438]

If I see anybody with that at the range I'll sell them some swampland.

[MidwestPX 172]

Um, I think the military pays about $4k for the M249.

[BlueLineFish 615]

Might have to inquire about LE pricing..lol. Still waaay too much

[The_Matrix 105]

That thing is SWEET.  But the price is not sweet.

If $3500, maybe.  But I would have to sell a lot of my current stuff.

[dajonga 397]

How about a timeshare?

[Golf battery 1,223]

Im in at 5k if it has the spare barrel and gloves

[Polak 3]

Probably around $6k

[WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot 358]

To be honest, I would think it would be more enjoyable (and economical) to just rent the FA SAW at HG Easton and blast away.

That parrot is freaking me TF out.

[Shawnmoore81 623]

Checked 3 distributors and they aren't listed yet

You are correct. And it's an actual, buzzing saw.

[DeerSlayer 241]

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.

[mipafox 438]

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.

Would still be a lot cheaper than buying an M240

 

http://www.ohioordnanceworks.com/rifles/semi-auto/oow-line/m240-slr-270

 

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

[mipafox 438]

M60 is over, bro. There aint anything coming out of Saco on the US civilian market. If you want anything, pull out a $10 thousand bill and spend a few weeks scarfing stuff up. Or add two or three (or four) bills and get a stamp.
