    Cartel straw buyer busted buying M249s !!!

    Damn, I know these had to be the semi 249s but still, yikes. Yeah, I know they got their share of full on military hardware. I'm kinda suprised how brazen this was though. You'd almost expect Eric Holder to be involved.

    While I'm not familiar with the semi 249, is it possible to convert one to FA? They usually make those things so that it is damn near impossible to convert.



    * I don't have ANY experience with the 249 period, as the M60 was the "SAW" when I was in (see sigline).

    Selling weapons to cartels and all they can throw at her is a 52 months in prison? God help me if I ever skipped paying taxes, I'd be in for life.

    Curious about this myself. I was plenty familiar with the 249 years ago, but I can't guess what changes they made for semi only. I'm gonna assume it ain't just the fire control assembly. I'd imagine they made bolt and receiver changes as well. Interested to know out of mild curiosity.

    You can get a semi-auto M249s? Learn something new every day.

    The fact that some of my fellow Americans can buy a semi-auto M249 makes me smile. Next time there is a 2A rally I hope to see one of the demonstrators with one. Should make the antis wet their panties.

    Cartels bought them all.

    Kinda funny that they are dropping that much coin on a semi belt fed that nobody will know how to convert and won't have access to the full auto parts even if they did. Only thing they would be good for is an pretty accurate long range platform if they had the right optics.

    I think they are mostly for show along with other dumbass guns like gold deagles.
    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.
