So if a civi M249 is $8000, a civi M240 is going to cost $10000. There’s no chance of any AWB nonsense, no matter what the swamp’s donor class wants. FN as a euro company knows that folks that have ten grand to drop on a gun are a special class of customer uniquely in the US, due to bans in the socialist shiholes that make up the rest of the world. For every forum picture you see of some owner of a M249,there’s 20 others who bought one because they can afford nice things, but keep a low profile. That core customer base isn’t swayed by current political flavors of the week. They buy things because they want them and they can.
Meh. All of this will blow over. If FN has plans to sell a civi M240,they’re going to do it. Getting the necessary BATFE approvals to sell takes months at a minimum, years at a maximum. If they started the process, they’re not stopping just because CNN hates the NRA more this week than usual. The business case for doing it would be the deciding factor, not this week’s political debate or sensational press stories.
