Chuck Norris has to maintain a concealed weapon license in all 50 states in order to legally wear pants.
Never built one, but for the $7-8K FN wants for one, all I can ask is WHY?
While it has been tempting over the years (like the 1919 clones), the idea of a semi-auto belt-fed is lacking.

F**k China!
HK 21/23s are practical simply because of how easy it is to walk a registered sear. You can have one registered trigger group and run the entire 90 series including the Vollmer 91 to 21 conversions.
The ORF 1919s were affordable semi belts at one time, and many were .308 conversions so that's not completely impractical. For awhile the Shrike seemed like a solution for many registered lowers.
But other than that most belt fed semis are a LOT of money to have a semi auto that is twice as heavy and harder to reload. I could maybe understand it for people trapped behind the lines in states with magazine capacity restrictions.
Of course is money wasn't a consideration, I'd probably have a semi M249 just to have one, I think there are only a handful of transferables.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
Chuck, we miss ya man.

FN 249S go for $11-14k now.
A semi beltfed is silly as a shooter imo. As a collectible, the FN 249S is really cool. And the upside to the 249S is for SOTs, particularly 07/02 who can modify and register FA conversion parts for the 249S, while keeping the host semiauto.

M16 lower with an Ares MCR upper...complete semi Ares are running $4k-$5k.
