I wonder how low prices will go. I remember when the "limit edition" first SCAR16's were going for around $5k. I bought one of those first thousand guns second hand on EE back in 2011 for $2300 with the storm case.

Has anybody bumpfire-fied a Para Stock yet? Turn down the ends where it screws into buttplate, about 1.5" total, slide a washer on each then a spring. Then either slot the buttplate for a cross pin on each or drill thru the buttplate, drill and tap the stock struts for two screws that retain the buttplate?
I might replace the Para stock struts with 7075 round stock, turn down the buttplate ends you can almost make the springs blend in with the original dia/profile. The MG34 and MG42 bipods, you lean the MG a bit forward into it, then the gun just floats on that plane, the recoil driving it backwards then the weapon weight tilting forward like on a fulcrum. The M249 Bipod is more rigid so you would need a couple stout springs that can overcome the weapon weight/bipod friction. |

Prices are better nowadays. Just snatched on on gunbroker for 7k plus 75 s&h (I know but still). Question. I want to put an optic... something variable.... suggestions? My BIL has an ELCAN he's not using but getting that loaned seems like a longshot. View Quote 4x32 Acog LED |

Can the flash hider on the para barrel be removed? I've seen some state it's welded and the threads are some odd pitch, and then others state it's a standard 1/2x28 and not welded.

Thanks.
I contacted FN about using a suppressor on the 249S and they responded it's not designed for it. Looking at the warranty you'd be SOL if anything breaks when using a can. |

Here's some pics of the Para barrel with custom thread adapter and new muzzle brake. Was pinned/welded to bring the length to 16".

Just a heads up there's a guy selling some of those Savit collapsible M249 stocks over on gunbroker for $75. Has a few of them available.

A standard Para barrel measures @13-3/4" to the end of threads. Needs to be pinned/welded to bring out to 16" total length to be legal. I changed the flash hider because we cannot have them out here in Ca as of this year. https://i.imgur.com/WOGvkEc.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Dth6SIG.jpg View Quote |

I would assume that the shorty they are selling are longer, in order to make them 16"

It could still happen one day, but I'm not going to hold my breath. I'll definitely buy one if they do manage to crank one out. However, I'm still waiting on my MP5 binary soooooooo... :D

I just received an M249S PARA today and somehow the slide hammer is cocked and the button safety is on.
I was unable to move the safety to fire position. Obviously, the manual indicated that as well. Does anyone know how to fix this issue without damaging the rifle? |

[#41]
I picked up my para from my lgs like that too. I simply gently tapped on it with a tiny hammer til it released. Took it apart to check everything and it's all good. Gun functions fine. I'd emailed FN about it but never heard back.
Your milage may vary. |

Dang... we should get better customer service with that much coin spent.
I might try that hammer technique, but it's nerve-racking for sure. I couldn't find any info about the issue on the net as well. Quoted:

Tell me about it. Just tap gently. Once mine slipped to fire, the side hammer released, so make sure it's not loaded, lol.

You're the man.
I gently tapped the safety button, and it slide into fire position w/o any trouble. They should have included this info in their manual. Quoted:

To be honest, I'm not sure what they did to get it locked up like that. It definitely had me sweating bullets the first night, especially when I couldn't get an answer from FN.
