Anyone know how I can get my hands on one of these? The cheekweld on the M249S with the M249-specific ACOG sucks....see below.

FNHUSA said "sorry, doesn't appear to be available."

I have 13 M249s with collapsible stocks in my arms room. Unfortunately I can't share with you, my Uncle Sam would be pissed.

FNHUSA has not been the most forthcoming to end-users with regard to post-purchase support.

You might look at AR style add-on cheekpieces in the meantime.

Also, you might try calling midwest gun works, they seem to have the most in terms of 249 parts. It's a long shot, but sometimes dealers have more pull than individuals.

would something like this help you change out to a different buttstock that you could add a cheek rest to?

I see a few on GB, at least what I think you are looking for. Type in M249 stock

EBRfan, have to ask how does it shoot, looks fantastic.

Remind me can those be fed from a magazine, too?

Hope you find the butt stock you are looking for.

HK Ag

Alpine Military Concept has one like this, which is probably the closest thing to what you're looking for.

If you want an actual FN Minimi MK3 stock though, you'll likely have to source it from Europe. There's a guy in Belgium by the screen name of PACO on FAL Files that may be able to get one for you.

Thanks all for the advice/leads. That one on sturm looks close, but I can't tell if it is height adjustable like the mk3 version. I will check it out further. I'd like to keep it all FN if I can, but it may be tough at this point.

Sadly, I haven't shot it yet. Work keeps getting in the way. But I will be out with it soon. It does feel really well put together though...

Very cool belt fed.


I hope you can find the stock you are looking for.

Good luck on finding the stock. I've purchased parts and barrels for mine from Alpine...very good pricing and had a lot of unique items (headspace gauge, barrel gauge, etc) to make a complete 249 package.

Get out and shoot it!! While not as fun as its full auto counterpart, the trigger is light enough to make those belts evaporate quickly!
