Has FNH suspended production of the M249S?

Can't find one in stock anywhere...

I purchased mine over a year ago.
 I have not seen any through distributors in a long time.  The peeps in the FN forum seem to feel there won’t be anymore. Interesting thread here.  https://www.ar15.com/forums/Armory/M249s/24-511111/

I'm just needing one for a project.

I talked with two people from FN today and one couldn't say when and the other estimated sometime this summer. Evidently SCAR and pistol manufacturing are eating up production time and they are in fact watching what the prices are doing on the auction boards as they told me what folks are paying for them...which may or may not affect what they'll cost when they come back, then there's also the concern that the new emperor wants to include semi's in the NFA registry.

Tim from Military Arms Channel said in a recent video that FN had discontinued the semi 249. No hard evidence of this so your mileage may vary.

And that could be the case but they're still listed on their website and according to the two folks at FNH I talked with, the M249s is still a current offering but down on the list as they are behind on meeting the demand for their pistols and SCAR rifles. At least that is the info I got earlier today.

Yep and another starting bid at $17,500...

I remember folks saying they wouldn't pay $8k for a belt-fed semi...now they're not
