    Sign me up for a non-restricted m249s!

    I think they are also releaseing a semi-auto M240/MAG 58. These beasts were made in the past with pre-46 caliber and link, ie the Swedish 6.5 round. Just throwing that out there.
    R711 OUT.

    Btw, the current 249 has a belt hook through the tray , so the belt won't slide off the tray at loading. No need to tilt the gun to the right.

    They aren't selling these in Canada, that's what the general manager for commercial sales said.

    That right there is why I was going to buy one. No 3 gun trigger, no purchase.

    LOL. But seriously, imagine running a 3 gun course with that beast. It would be epic.

    How does the semi-auto M249S work? Did they add a striker? I can see something far behind the piston and bolt carrier in the first picture with the top cover open. I guess they had to change that bolt and carrier assembly a lot to make it work.

    It is a close bolt gun, and there is some sort of strike/hammer unit.

    A few more M249S photos, just for good luck!
    (As in good luck ever seeing one in Canada...)













    I'll post a very short video clip soon also.
    20 rounds short and quick!
