#M249

It should come as no surprise to any gun owner that barrels may wear out, and machine guns are no exception. FN America has been awarded a $6.9 million contract by the U.S. Department of Defense’s (DoD) Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime for the supply of M240 and M249 machine gun barrels. The order, to be fulfilled across nine deliveries, underscores FN’s longstanding partnership with DLA Land and Maritime, a key combat support agency that provides spare parts for land-based and maritime weapon systems. Serving over 20,000 customers across all U.S. military branches, civil agencies, and other DoD organizations, DLA ensures the readiness of critical weapon systems in the field.
