For sale is an FN 249S PARA semi-automatic rifle in 5.56 NATO. Serial number- M249SA05022. This M249 is in Excellent condition and looks barely shot. The bolt face is clean and the feed ramp looks like it hasn't seen a belt of 5.56. Comes with the original manual, safety addendum, box magazine, 40-round AR style magazine and a bolt-hold-open magazine insert. Part of FN's Military Collector Series, the FN M249S PARA, a semi-auto version of the currently contracted FN M249 PARA. The PARA was designed for airborne, armored infantry and close quarters combat (CQC) operations with a shorter barrel and collapsible buttstock. It retains all of the features of the FN M249 SAW and can be field-converted back to the standard model configuration in just 30 seconds. In military use, the Para model SAW has become increasingly popular as troops are spending more and more time riding in and jumping out of vehicles. Combat ops in built-up areas usually occur at shorter ranges where the shorter barrel of the para isn’t much of a detriment to accuracy. With the success of the civilian model of the standard M249, it was a no-brainer to build a civilian para model. Like its long-barreled brother, the M249S Para is a semi-auto that fires from closed bolt but is otherwise a near-copy of the government model. It has a machine gun grade 16.1-inch barrel, flip-up feed tray, integrated bipod, and the adjustable telescoping and rotating buttstock. It has an overall length of 31.5 inches to 37 inches and weighs in at a hefty 16 pounds, slightly lighter than the FN M249S Standard. It can use linked ammunition or a standard magazine. This model was first seen featured in 2017 at SHOT Show as part of FN's military collector series' display.
